"Yes, but you're not mentally damaged like him. He's likely to slowly lose it until he goes brain dead. His days are numbered."
Wisp says.
Finn sighs.

"I will save him somehow...." Sarah says.
-
"Sarah... Love... I don' think I can be saved." Finn says, his voice quiet.
-
She lost it. Right then and there. Her will to live was gone. She hid that very fact. The Warlock fell silent.
-
Finn reached up to take her hand. "Well... It might not kill him." Wisp says. "I've been working on possible ways to help him. There are a couple possibilities."
-
She just silently nodded. An unreadable expression was permanently pasted on her face.
-
"Sarah?" His voice is worried as he holds her hand.
-
Sarah let go of his hand. And she ran. She would never be the same. She hid away in a corner, and cried.
-
He tried to run after her. "Sarah?! Wait! Come back!" When he couldn't find her he dropped to his knees. He felt so bad he was actually physically sick inside.
-
He hears a faint sound of crying in the distance.
-
He quickly follows the sound, looking frantically for her.
-
The crying seemed to grow louder as he drew closer.
-
He finally finds her, and immediately rushes to her. He quickly kneels down and pulls her into a tight hug, as if he's clinging to her for dear life.
-
She cries as turns around and hugs back. "Please... don't go...."
-
"Sarah, I promised I wouldn't leave ya, remember?" He replies, holding her so tight she can feel his heartbeat.
-
"I... remember. But what if that promise breaks? Too much thinking is bad for me..... Sometimes... I wish... I wish... I wish I was a Titan or Hunter." She continues to cry.
-
"Sarah, have I e'er broken a promise to you?" He asks her.
-
"No.... But this one is based upon pure hope. Oh, light..."
-
He now has tears in his eyes. He cups her cheek so she looks him in the eye. "Sarah, I swear naw e'en death would keep me from you. An' besides, I've made it this far, right?"
-
She nods.
-
"An' I didn't have you all that time watchin' my back. Now I do. I don' think the odds are tha' bad." He smiles, though it's forced.
-
She forced a smile. "I think I've cracked it... why she's like this. Well, at least how to figure out, what exactly traumatized her. I know it's third life origin. Trust me, I tried reading through those memories, but it was so... uh... lengthy.... and horrible, I couldn't continue," Lunar said. "I don't like to think about that life. I'm lucky I'm able to quote the Book of Sorrows without thinking of well.... The events," Sarah replied.
-
"... Why in the Traveler's name would ya read that thing?"
-
"I was young, stuck on the Dreadnaught with the Hive, Mia as my only company. When I wasn't being tortured, I was bored." She suddenly falls silent again.
-
"Oh..." Finn replies, still hugging her. "Wow... That's... Huh. Really sinilar to Finn's story, albeit he had less company and it was Fallen, not Hive." Wisp says.
-
"The worst part is... Mia and I were mostly human. Although we had the Light in us, we couldn't hone it. It practically kept us alive. And we suffered. Until the Traveler whispered to us. Told us a way to hone our light and escape. While the whispers were cryptic, but I understood...." She tells.
