“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwYSwnJDIx
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPaUkPJdVm
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pJouJjB7J
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDZwtyfMIA
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErdHHCnUiL
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxZa9JYjaN
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuSb1fpbjk
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ643nScgGlr
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEJe81b2KR
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ0dg1Crsh
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QIiuTSNN7
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mB4fTEIGx
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuihAuTWJ1
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl97l1Ctx6
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR34CXhnyOL
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt8FkRmA53
things easier.” He slowly stood up.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY3oiXo4pJ
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FFO3PDDYq
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mXDBolLt8
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuYfC5f3TC
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsb6GmEl03
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O0Ya7bxeY
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuERZ3ifxpT
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhD0mjqRjo
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRM1bCqTva
I think I will hold on to this one.”225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPWwGoZ0O0
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc25Em60W2w
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQeeimg1n4
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWpYVOBKsT
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s08a6ZcdJ
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaFxae0b5H
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp3aI6IdP5
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhY3M4LIP7
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpldWKHMOzY
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8WmmPWbAe
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnESSDr4dQ
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaongd1hhJK
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXGFh5pqzn
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVXK0JUVBB
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0RB2OPUBp
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sffaICOco
in a very long time.”225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIqej9UmYm
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE81SXnRoWg
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiT4nXgYNj
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NTSLB7mI2
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6GTcmVFOC
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk7rf0DrdT
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBhVPkPZTl
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4Gt8LpPC0
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
