“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8LvYrk4UX
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWCGPqrTgt
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowqpdKWBBK
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZF2fdpJS4
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCPLZa40Em
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OXW9bEMe8
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYs7CAHzw1
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB0GoW4Au4
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyUe3kk7DF
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzySqUnFOdu
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnbykOmJnS
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6vbGlKUR4
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0SYuC5SRl
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjflGEHpZt
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCcuhVykxs
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oVsBgaGts
things easier.” He slowly stood up.388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuiZPUVZLh
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcam8aD1NPj
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCOBocuur0
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftayJLONAk
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvhXxYIB5O
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowB6r5jImM
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpMucYUrkZ
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ2lYEZGge
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFhW9sbbQH
I think I will hold on to this one.”388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOpMZntdsp
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qyDwS1zHO
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UpXSkt006
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hm42ayChN
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41Umffmot0
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlGX0SfARZ
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTX6NjlAlI
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2ESicw18X
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ944TqPJ0ev
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjtjMXmvbx
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGRY6Fr86K
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvEM7Qwvp7
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI7oXDEIi3
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fh7xgTIxo
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLnVzibUwq
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuAdpTvQul
in a very long time.”388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk62pVmkq6
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVZt22kxV1
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26jufoAhbB
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwDoNEH2hM
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWqXOloBSw
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVC7KZsWGk
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcbBjwocRu
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO63SerDNx
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
