“I’m sorry… I really didn’t know…”
“And what good is your apology now?” Caden choked on his words, his voice breaking. “She can’t hear you, Drake! Lyra is dead now She’s never coming back!”
A lone tear streaked his face.
“You finally got what you wanted–you have Aerls now. Go Drake and enjoy your life!”
Drake stared at Caden for a while and left, devastated.
I wasn’t sure if I should forgive him, but every emotion I felt before dying was mellowing down.
I had regret for not seeing my parents. Moon goddess even gave me that chance. Now, I had nothing left to hold onto. I just hoped my soul would quickly enter the cycle of reincarnation.
After closing the door, Caden spoke into the empty house,

I placed my hand on his shoulder and whispered in his ear,
“I’m not, but I’m still here with you.

I tried to talk to him, but nothing reached him, making me feel helpless.
Caden went into my office, and began sorting through my files, carefully reviewing
everything.
