บท 249: Meeting

That question, only audible to Liam's ears, lingered in the air.

Liam lowered his head in silent thought, then raised it with a distant look.

Liam didn't answer.

…But Eve blinked out of existence, and she didn't return.

Liam shook his head.

He felt the connection between him and his mother wane as he grew stronger, and now… there was just a thread left.

He honored her memory.

But that was it.

What was done was done.

Eve was gone.

And Liam would live.

What's the point of heartbreak?

Of loving someone?

In the first place, Liam questioned the point of relationships.

What use were they if everyone he learned to love died because they were unable to keep up with him?

No thanks.
