“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”446Please respect copyright.PENANAEoJOA1l86j
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left446Please respect copyright.PENANAB6DmCZb5nr
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find446Please respect copyright.PENANAF0uchulBGH
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them446Please respect copyright.PENANAPsXhEusc8l
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”446Please respect copyright.PENANALYkVWlBL0P
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.446Please respect copyright.PENANADvjEDuJftN
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,446Please respect copyright.PENANABeaKcjFHmR
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something446Please respect copyright.PENANAeXO7ni3YI8
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,446Please respect copyright.PENANAKQTkTTkaDR
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none446Please respect copyright.PENANAl8kFFyeUrq
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may446Please respect copyright.PENANA6nQ8Wymkme
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and446Please respect copyright.PENANAroSpYqavqI
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”446Please respect copyright.PENANAuQIjkQU4tU
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right446Please respect copyright.PENANAKh0ImflQpd
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.446Please respect copyright.PENANAclDrMFfUeh
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all446Please respect copyright.PENANA0j7XRbVgdD
things easier.” He slowly stood up.446Please respect copyright.PENANAbn9ggFaItR
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great446Please respect copyright.PENANA8jMIZCLmTC
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger446Please respect copyright.PENANApdhSLROPO8
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your446Please respect copyright.PENANAB1fGggVCSM
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make446Please respect copyright.PENANATB5QuIHNi7
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain446Please respect copyright.PENANAUpvYkOExyM
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed446Please respect copyright.PENANAwnmeldQfRM
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his446Please respect copyright.PENANAZEk0EiwwDD
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,446Please respect copyright.PENANAarfKaFm4O6
I think I will hold on to this one.”446Please respect copyright.PENANA13jwFjc56V
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not446Please respect copyright.PENANA6ej5brMqhR
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that446Please respect copyright.PENANAk7Si0fR9lP
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though446Please respect copyright.PENANABWcc36u9Gp
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something446Please respect copyright.PENANA6i55DvcZ3Q
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.446Please respect copyright.PENANAo1qglnSlIr
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.446Please respect copyright.PENANAlbrW9XdZj0
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,446Please respect copyright.PENANAfGwlawoJY7
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever446Please respect copyright.PENANAjGO07Q5hiD
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks446Please respect copyright.PENANAjLRHioNG8f
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue446Please respect copyright.PENANAwTe7eOH2FI
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”446Please respect copyright.PENANAaOsSxkUj9D
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me446Please respect copyright.PENANAlW9Poskzhz
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”446Please respect copyright.PENANA1UmNsWS7uo
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;446Please respect copyright.PENANAYBiTOJA9Ta
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that446Please respect copyright.PENANApjmLLLYzpe
in a very long time.”446Please respect copyright.PENANAnQ8DLeCgdh
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.446Please respect copyright.PENANA0A3vUgnafY
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the446Please respect copyright.PENANAek1vKRd7RM
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.446Please respect copyright.PENANAGrylKrtcAY
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.446Please respect copyright.PENANADCo76oee2b
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.446Please respect copyright.PENANA2CssgSotnI
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”446Please respect copyright.PENANAnuXbl94nVL
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish446Please respect copyright.PENANAeuJW1GqrjB
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
