Chapter 101: The Void

On the next day's dawn, the sky opened up, and a heavy rain characterized by heavy thunderstorms and lightning began to fall. Marco sat at the side of his sister's bed, waiting for her to regain consciousness. 

Morena had been called to check her and told them all her vitals were fine. She had lost consciousness due to shock. Besides him, Zia and Ursula huddled together, clearly drained. 

He begged them to take a rest, but neither wanted to hear any of it. At intervals, Zia rearranged Maria's head position to make her as comfortable as possible, even in her unconsciousness.

Marco's mind trailed towards Vincenzo as he watched the rain fall through Maria's transparent windows. The calming effect of that singular act on him was an enigma.
