Luca's heart had been in turmoil the moment he heard D-29's emergency prompts.
He dreaded the short gap between hearing about the news and the time it took for him to get to Ollie.
He felt dizzy—and only then did he realize that he had been holding his breath until he got to check on his brother.
And now, having seen him safe, whole, and wrapped up in Kyle's embrace, Luca still hadn't let go of the deep, coiled panic that seized him.
Because no matter how intact his brother looked, Ollie would still have that memory of a hostage situation.
And Luca couldn't help but blame himself.
He had been too complacent.
Originally, he and D-29 were of the same opinion about keeping everything under wraps. Contrary to popular belief, he only recently considered sharing it with the general public.
And it was all because he got too lucky—so fortunate that he assumed everyone would be similar to the people around him.
