บท 141: deja vû

Syryn woke up with wetness clinging to his lashes. Why was he crying?

Right. The dream.

It was still dark out. Syryn immediately noticed the empty spot next to him. Lucien was missing.

The teen leapt out of bed and attempted to rationalise the situation. Lucien could have gone to the washroom.

"What's going on?" Despite the sleep mussed hair, the avian was already sharp and awake when he opened the door.

"I can't find Lucien."

Akida's expression changed. "I'll check the house."
