“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”372Please respect copyright.PENANAkdOv1X9qdv
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left372Please respect copyright.PENANAUcKcAjWlDb
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find372Please respect copyright.PENANApjJdOExZUM
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them372Please respect copyright.PENANAfIJwSDoHQg
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”372Please respect copyright.PENANAcQ0m0jGsK3
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.372Please respect copyright.PENANAGPcJ3y1n09
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,372Please respect copyright.PENANAwt9x5Z95JZ
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something372Please respect copyright.PENANA8fa7z5HE87
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,372Please respect copyright.PENANAuy7ZMThL37
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none372Please respect copyright.PENANAR5Um03g0xa
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may372Please respect copyright.PENANAz7Sxw2X8Yv
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and372Please respect copyright.PENANA2stwGp3CPG
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”372Please respect copyright.PENANApv3TyaoO0M
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right372Please respect copyright.PENANASS0iDYADHZ
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.372Please respect copyright.PENANApMvjVIZkqH
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all372Please respect copyright.PENANAtTaAH6Jkco
things easier.” He slowly stood up.372Please respect copyright.PENANA9WkSc67rZz
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great372Please respect copyright.PENANAvY4O2wd2r1
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger372Please respect copyright.PENANABg2wZxsM3z
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your372Please respect copyright.PENANAd55vwfFMGW
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make372Please respect copyright.PENANAzbh7tGQJSx
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain372Please respect copyright.PENANAZqjkJRaMaj
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed372Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7DTxERRkp
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his372Please respect copyright.PENANAiFlLALNcxl
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,372Please respect copyright.PENANAUutyhKJK0l
I think I will hold on to this one.”372Please respect copyright.PENANAUBBM4iHVF5
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not372Please respect copyright.PENANAtbtrckeuvx
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that372Please respect copyright.PENANA8ojGDf4e4X
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though372Please respect copyright.PENANAtJe56HSzpQ
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something372Please respect copyright.PENANAYfF84qCc85
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.372Please respect copyright.PENANAe3wPgMWPvH
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.372Please respect copyright.PENANAPqwXmtbHDB
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,372Please respect copyright.PENANAezRyzoUIai
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever372Please respect copyright.PENANAbZCNOERoAk
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks372Please respect copyright.PENANAZUNXuEHNVC
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue372Please respect copyright.PENANASgrkCd9mqu
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”372Please respect copyright.PENANACIBMEU3MED
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me372Please respect copyright.PENANAbQCtnsa5bv
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”372Please respect copyright.PENANAkweqohtod5
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;372Please respect copyright.PENANARnJT1viiBo
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that372Please respect copyright.PENANANpWu2T9M5I
in a very long time.”372Please respect copyright.PENANAuqMKQ3J8YK
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.372Please respect copyright.PENANAm7c5KLtLaV
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the372Please respect copyright.PENANA8dLEeqsXJ8
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.372Please respect copyright.PENANAOFZKdK5T9r
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.372Please respect copyright.PENANA8jhVshVj45
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.372Please respect copyright.PENANAqjrTzer9s6
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”372Please respect copyright.PENANALZ3DqYIi7M
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish372Please respect copyright.PENANAGDFA5PCQUS
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
