Summary
Because that's what Rover always did. Rover was by his side when he discovered the deceit of his father's death, when he was spiralling from the revelation that his whole life was built on lies. When he agonized over what he let slip through his bloodied fingers, Rover was there with gentle hands wiping away his tears. When his monochrome world threatened to fall apart, Rover was there with the gold of his eyes becoming his guiding light.
But this ancient being refused to extend the same grace to himself. He would rather bottle up his own suffering, rather than sharing the burden with his companions. He treats everyone with a heart of gold, yet treats himself the cruelest of all. Rover never did told him the full story of his own past, but he saw the longing in those golden eyes under the shine of the stars.

Summary
He experienced loss in this lifetime. He held a Cartethyia with her frequency of dead silence, but she prevailed as the knight she was blessed to be in the end. He bore witness to the demise of his every companion in Rinascita under Christoforo's forte, but Galbrena's timely intervention yanked him out before he could end up with the same tragic end as Mya and Avidius.
So why does this feel different?
