“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”262Please respect copyright.PENANA7jSs8kKcxO
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left262Please respect copyright.PENANAAnv8yKtkeP
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find262Please respect copyright.PENANA9i2t48LA7u
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them262Please respect copyright.PENANAW1dlxTpCss
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”262Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZiCLEeGJo
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.262Please respect copyright.PENANAGw0ugA2XB6
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,262Please respect copyright.PENANAsenjCnvTCn
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something262Please respect copyright.PENANABXowNSCDN6
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,262Please respect copyright.PENANAroRzrdpOwb
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none262Please respect copyright.PENANA75MzQu9DGE
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may262Please respect copyright.PENANAshqyf9UrYX
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and262Please respect copyright.PENANAPFfQIBgsfA
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”262Please respect copyright.PENANAfwfxlocQG8
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right262Please respect copyright.PENANAoGsELwDWQ0
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.262Please respect copyright.PENANAu5cHNrVswg
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all262Please respect copyright.PENANAEn3QglRFI5
things easier.” He slowly stood up.262Please respect copyright.PENANAOsksruQ21u
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great262Please respect copyright.PENANAFgdSuuuY82
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger262Please respect copyright.PENANA0Kj51jpcVt
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your262Please respect copyright.PENANA2tLf8A9lRz
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make262Please respect copyright.PENANAPmzoT4TGfH
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain262Please respect copyright.PENANARK3PYfqS12
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed262Please respect copyright.PENANAGzVb6vIsoj
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his262Please respect copyright.PENANAVK8clRa7Fd
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,262Please respect copyright.PENANAiN6aSowCX7
I think I will hold on to this one.”262Please respect copyright.PENANALM8kGwn77F
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not262Please respect copyright.PENANA8dJt4G76it
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that262Please respect copyright.PENANAqxAuSAZdCo
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though262Please respect copyright.PENANAWBaHntrH29
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something262Please respect copyright.PENANAs6ZRBpSoFv
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.262Please respect copyright.PENANAf5rod2fCIu
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.262Please respect copyright.PENANANbI3GaFusl
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,262Please respect copyright.PENANALmkhwpKAUQ
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever262Please respect copyright.PENANAer9a5aJ8Xc
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks262Please respect copyright.PENANAeTu9IYN0TX
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue262Please respect copyright.PENANAIKycWi3spC
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”262Please respect copyright.PENANAryzrnQt4Dz
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me262Please respect copyright.PENANArAFWn9wHIF
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”262Please respect copyright.PENANA0ieorFbHKk
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;262Please respect copyright.PENANAvISTHWJ7ZA
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that262Please respect copyright.PENANALCNKoP1aAY
in a very long time.”262Please respect copyright.PENANANscjYzKklF
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.262Please respect copyright.PENANA6f2mN9an9R
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the262Please respect copyright.PENANAYgO83yK9eW
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.262Please respect copyright.PENANAmq43PI0uW5
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.262Please respect copyright.PENANAZCurYjZfM5
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.262Please respect copyright.PENANAWAAlCHu4Ej
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”262Please respect copyright.PENANAqXyUyU056X
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish262Please respect copyright.PENANA27Mk3TuH7v
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
