“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Gxz3HjnCn
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDI80XidSi
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfHyQfZPKZ
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe3mTObpzQ
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XSiS4ENFp
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWToQE1Zhd
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG2II2j1yo
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPAjrB9qch
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPl4FHguuN
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdx3WwcCGV
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF4fBPoF9h
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sO5CQqdK7
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DflnJLqQB
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf4OvZ7bly
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFMEDWRShJ
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJl2tFYNcs
things easier.” He slowly stood up.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsXWttwSli
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM1JFYx32U
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIYdrHFaLd
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb5qHSSAT5
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0cgLCZITL
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIG5bYQZiz
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cfHSVPny2
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0blXqmrNIp
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnoZBUTz5U
I think I will hold on to this one.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLCKdyWPBW
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMOEiK1c5O
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbWO2TGmGW
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmGPRPceQr
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHW18OMN6E
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliV9PLXP94
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG0OyVdtyb
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrYwfDwaXo
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjb0Mh1neW
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTwUxYTAg1
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3bz8FYsWo
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tI8O2EWZL
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb8KzY2q3b
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3Ffs8cxG3
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQluw1B8Rg
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qHeWV7S45
in a very long time.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCRIWpQMoa
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgh2dnL3zEG
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHEQws5B4C
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK28nQp0ONs
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGuCnRlqRh
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDxcxfMtPt
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2HVWFI6c2
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2uWqxX9aw
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
