" I…I felt nothing, and that wasn’t right. He’d have to be in
so much pain, and I could help that. I could take his pain, but I
felt nothing, and when I looked at his face, I didn’t want to see
what I saw. His eyes were open, gaze fixed yet unseeing on the
sky above. I shook my head, but under my hands, his chest
didn’t move. "

― Jennifer L. Armentrout , From Blood and Ash (Blood and Ash, #1)
