Honestly, I already disliked Elkin. But this chapter really made me give up on him. Especially since he ran away while he is the only person that can help anyone.
If they wanted to give him some type of trauma, I feel it'd of been better to have found another way, or allow him the courage to get through the event, and then break down.
Story is kind of weird, as it started out with Elkin as the main character, but has kind of switched to Kaia/Blonde hair dude. Elkin kind of has no to little presence.
