When he first heard of the death of his wife, Valen Dreth believed none of it. He was shook, confused, sad, and in denial, all at once. As he slowly began to process the situation, his mind escaped him. He did not know what was wrong and what wasn't anymore. It was one of the only times genuine tears fell down his face, for the person he had loved the most, his wife, his partner, his soulmate, was no longer. He placed his face in his hands, crying out in pain; he had lost everything.
Upon reading the letter that was meant for him, he chuckled, tears still rushing down his face as he slammed his head against a wall, for whatever reason. "This is unreal. I can't believe this. It's- it must be fake. This is outrageous. WHY DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN TO US?!?!" He screamed out, still smacking his now bloodied head against a wall.
