Chapter 215: Connection

Hope, inevitable, good beginnings, bad ends… I had a feeling I knew now what JJ meant. The way he expressed it was so strangely enigmatic, but then, the entire situation was unusual. For both of us, and in many ways.

The understanding lit a new flame inside of me, and it made me make another step towards JJ. A soft smile spread across my lips. "If that's so, then I'm glad you saw that light. A person needs hope to live to his fullest, or they'd keep worrying about the bad ends of all things. Say, humans. We, they, are fragile and can die at any moment, but everyone has hope that they will live to old age or maybe even forever, whether or not they think about it outright."
