“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”436Please respect copyright.PENANAnQAG17mIAv
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left436Please respect copyright.PENANAWIYu4FyorJ
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find436Please respect copyright.PENANAz03MLl6AW6
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them436Please respect copyright.PENANAWGI6SduZVH
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”436Please respect copyright.PENANAKrmJMpfSk5
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.436Please respect copyright.PENANA8ypjmMETJ0
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,436Please respect copyright.PENANAuCC2gJhhMq
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something436Please respect copyright.PENANApPtHR3SQGx
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,436Please respect copyright.PENANAUfBZJoFAvV
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none436Please respect copyright.PENANACsnOcpf1UT
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may436Please respect copyright.PENANATeKnvCZBiB
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and436Please respect copyright.PENANAWNtrXFlKjE
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”436Please respect copyright.PENANAkJKC8sM5Ai
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right436Please respect copyright.PENANAvPmoJabLkt
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.436Please respect copyright.PENANAOHmukEVCYg
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all436Please respect copyright.PENANA2hFB4ryVsE
things easier.” He slowly stood up.436Please respect copyright.PENANAVw39mnSgsR
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great436Please respect copyright.PENANArBn7mNDCtP
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger436Please respect copyright.PENANAlFHGLpxgeq
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your436Please respect copyright.PENANAb29lY0yaTr
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make436Please respect copyright.PENANAcDjvIDWaii
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain436Please respect copyright.PENANAORPjJPNffs
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed436Please respect copyright.PENANA3901hFaW5j
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his436Please respect copyright.PENANAFx7t35NXXg
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,436Please respect copyright.PENANAW5DOIfyFlG
I think I will hold on to this one.”436Please respect copyright.PENANAAIBl7faEDc
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not436Please respect copyright.PENANArTe1d5orxO
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that436Please respect copyright.PENANAR3vqj0Fe72
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though436Please respect copyright.PENANAiB86Hkr0SI
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something436Please respect copyright.PENANAyoPmIo0INn
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.436Please respect copyright.PENANAXhOSIcuAZ4
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.436Please respect copyright.PENANAhaHE3uyKKL
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,436Please respect copyright.PENANAs8gCYVz6OA
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever436Please respect copyright.PENANAS7tpi2bI52
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks436Please respect copyright.PENANAbbA2YoRgCU
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue436Please respect copyright.PENANAuyfnzRSIFA
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”436Please respect copyright.PENANAV2Zy5b7vQa
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me436Please respect copyright.PENANAeBFiQn1kr2
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”436Please respect copyright.PENANAnNVIN0UDEH
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;436Please respect copyright.PENANAsgkkZv6RI0
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that436Please respect copyright.PENANAYIdW6uI41g
in a very long time.”436Please respect copyright.PENANAwhog3wn281
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.436Please respect copyright.PENANAgG9l0ZKDMD
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the436Please respect copyright.PENANANDdBXrXrCf
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.436Please respect copyright.PENANA3aEBMiq5aW
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.436Please respect copyright.PENANAgHMezHsgfV
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.436Please respect copyright.PENANAytXnTYS9BW
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”436Please respect copyright.PENANAWmKW9OFEsF
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish436Please respect copyright.PENANAQjR0oakcuZ
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
