Chapter 66

• Adam lay on his bed, his eyes fixed on his father's gentle face as Sebastian patted his chest. The warmth and comfort of his father's touch was a stark contrast to the turmoil that had been brewing inside Adam's young mind.
• "Daddy, why does Zarek hurt people?" Adam asked, his voice laced with concern and confusion.
• Sebastian's expression turned somber, and he took a deep breath before answering. "Because, Adam, humans are often their own worst enemies. Just like how humans can be enemies of nature, humans can also be cruel to each other. Many people are selfish and only care about themselves, without thinking about how their actions might hurt others."
