Jaxston closed his eyes, as if he were playing the incident in his head to remember it clearer. When he opened them he turned his head half way to face Evania. "One of my friends fell off a cliff and from that height it was sure she would've died. Without thinking about what would happen to myself I got a running start and jumped. Before I even realized what had happened I was holding onto my friend and became a shield for the fall. She got away with few minor injuries but that ended up being my last heroic feat as that cost me my life." Jaxston looked at the ground near his feet, "Ironic how the thing that cost me my life was also my cost for entering the game. At least I won't need to worry about making that mistake again." Jaxston's lips formed a half smile, although it was unclear if he was smiling if he was glad that he wouldn't do the same thing or if he was glad that his friend made it out okay. Even with his compassion gone that didn't mean that his feelings for those close would change, even if now he wouldn't do that same thing as before.
