“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0r9Nvdixe
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6VvoNetri
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse6BdKRQgY
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFSRApfZhf
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrwOnO3L1e
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX4YcQaddy
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJH3QqwZ1r
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOeBkqDFwp
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6oul8FNvQ
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbMC5s5Skv
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTzbpkshWg
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV429FCpoG
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S4DWSJrXz
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8COIn2RX7p
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBd6vI3sVK
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nFYJKGszF
things easier.” He slowly stood up.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuqICzec4F
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgayKSZGyl
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ0r3AfmBS
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSN7tnPRQk
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX7sIwDs32
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOeLkMXqzZ
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HpH2pnHS1
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxxnENQR6k
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKAjC557XD
I think I will hold on to this one.”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuov6TGdsF
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFTysIZwUS
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnhs1TNGU6
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSztdCCoaU
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAV2XYjg53
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESJKxKYpsH
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs4BjEclkt
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt0R2gTb6c
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zZbwlgUgA
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDxPVapEP8
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnCgNMd3tI
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3L9uMCMI2
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k6LrwW54Q
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLxFDeIoFQ
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB4hiVhoIA
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPbr7OXcjS
in a very long time.”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDpeypQZYm
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9esupdBRt
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2BCqXXayw
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6beyVwCJt
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHm2fLqy8x
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8ZeOnLtch
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGdNRHmFXe
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIBLOUW3yZ
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
