Carlos parted his lips, emitting an audible sigh that seemed to carry the weight of unspoken thoughts.
His demeanor only exacerbated my discomfort, instilling a sense of unease as if I had committed a grave error without even realizing it.
I couldn’t help but ask Damien, “Have I done something wrong?”

Damien remained silent, offering no response.
Since he noticed my diminishing affection for Debra, Damien had been visibly downcast, frequently retreating into silence even when I sought his input.
I suspected that Damien found it difficult to accept that I had become emotionally detached, unwilling to acknowledge the truth of the situation.
With no other recourse, I attempted to recollect recent events in detail, hoping to identify what Car

los had alluded to as unusual.
Yet, recognizing my flaws proved challenging, compounded by the fact that memory details could often be subtly altered to paint a more favorable picture of oneself. As a result, when I spoke again, my voice carried an unnaturally calmness.
“I don’t believe there’s anything peculiar about me. Since learning about the rift’s expansion and evaluating the seriousness of the situation, I’ve strived to remain rational, making decisions that benefit our community.”
Carlos shook his head, clarifying, “That’s not quite what I was getting at.”
His gaze, brimming with intense scrutiny, felt like it could pierce into the depths of my soul. “Caleb, it’s been some time since Debra disappeared into the rift. In the past, upon discovering another world beyond it, you would have pursued her without hesitation. Yet, you haven’t.”

Carlos continued, his tone laced with complexity, “Moreover, you maintain a composed demeanor while assessing the situation. This level of calmness is commendable for strategizing our defense, but it’s not something the guy who deeply cared for Debra could have attained so swiftly.”
I stayed silent, unable to offer a rebuttal, lost in contemplation.
Now, it wasn’t just the children who noticed, but even Carlos could discern the shift within me.
Observing my response, Carlos’ expression grew more serious.
Unable to contain himself, Carlos couldn’t help but ask, “Caleb, as I bring up Debra and speak so frankly about her, don’t you feel any sadness?”
Silence lingered, thickening the air between us.
I struggled to formulate a response, unsure of what to say. I genuinely lacked that special feeling for Debra.
I had undeniably changed.
Having witnessed our love and my intense devotion to Debra, Carlos undoubtedly recognized the stark contrast between my demeanor when in love and when not.
Recognizing my present condition, he too lapsed into silence.
After a prolonged silence, Carlos eventually spoke up. “Caleb, regardless of how you feel now, Debra has made numerous sacrifices for you. She disappeared into the rift while trying to save you. Don’t let her efforts be in vain. Please, at the very least, strive to be a competent husband.”
