章節 136: Back, again.

Alex didn't even give it much thought as he answered yes to this prompt.

A huge, black swirling vortex opened up in the same spot Alex and Mira had departed just a few months beforehand.

Alex just kept looking up, into the void of the deep night sky with emotionless eyes.

There were no tears, there was no emotion at all. Most of all, there was no hope.

"I'm sorry." Alex said with a restrained voice as his gaze continued to linger up above him.
