"Oh, dear..." Tolius said as he gazes at the burst thermometer.
"Is it... really that bad?" I ask in fear for my life.
"Well..." he calmly smiled so that I wouldn't be frightened.
But then when I heard him say, "It is unprecedented." I could immediately hear the funeral bells tolling behind the background.
But the man in glasses did not give up on me, and he continues to asks with his pen and a pad, "Have you experience any ringing in the ear before this?"
"Huh, uh, yes. But only once, just a couple of weeks ago."
"Could you describe to me how it felt and all the details when it happened."
I remember that day vividly because it was the same day when Princess Minty died in my arms.
After I shared all the details that I can remember from that day, Tolius took a short paused to think, then calmly reached into his bag and took out a small grey pebble.
