Alicia caressed Zeke's face tenderly, "I have already faced death before, so I understand that my chances of survival this time might… I know this isn't going to be easy at all. I had felt before I pass out that… that my situation is going to be hopeless. But you found a solution. You found a solution that no one else could find. So please... don't be sorry."

The door creaked open, drawing their attention. Their eyes turned to see their son, Azy, standing there. Just the sight of her beloved son filled Alicia's heart with both overwhelming love and bitter ache. She couldn't believe she was going to leave him… this precious child of hers. But a temporary separation was better than leaving him forever, right? "Azy, my dear," she called out to him, her arms outstretched in an open embrace.
