19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIta80eFFau

The room was silent.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58sW0vo5jH

Only the ticking of the old wall clock could be heard.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCjUfAVy3j

Valindra looked at Methon patiently.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt42dRd23J

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ1VvzYiye

Methon remained quiet for a long moment before taking out his wallet.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquhJetWHnP

From inside it, he pulled out a slightly folded photograph.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIejuxTUXW

Valindra looked at it.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccRDaVaYmp

A beautiful young woman stood beside Methon, smiling brightly.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxXeImXye4

"She?" Valindra asked softly.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFK26AWUYC

Methon nodded.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4dPw9mnID

"Her name was Ilana."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt2XLxjKq5

"What happened?"

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmws75vfvU

He stared at the photograph for several seconds.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkkWgAQnVT

"I trusted her with everything."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XtGXsPP4Y

"My heart."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWavJbO8Ca1

"My future."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllsGl4cPMP

"My dreams."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKRbcOkeIp

"But while I was planning our future..."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg9p2AIpT3

"...she was building another one with someone else."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxdMATruIW

Valindra stayed silent.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3qTgkz7xe

Methon continued,

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yMb496Lrb

"She cheated on me."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoACOTpD2o

"I wasn't enough for her."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQOilPoX5V

"One day, she simply walked away."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd53HsWLcqG

"No explanation."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsk9VtZsCP

"No goodbye."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8eEm419em

"Nothing."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B8hB3H0qe

He laughed bitterly.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OsvbaULSI

"After that..."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvjNzv39yR

"I stopped living."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTZmaXJtl0

"My company started collapsing."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tOotAGRtd

"I stopped attending meetings."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1FFbfI2xy

"I stopped sleeping."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZEhcxiV25

"I stopped smiling."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfhaCkc63a

"I was alive..."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA0u39KjLH

"But I wasn't living anymore."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq6ss3TRoG

Valindra looked at him with sympathy.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGkYwsVFov

For the first time since they had met, she didn't joke.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEdD9rjD8q

She simply listened.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfsoIo1ZbD

After a few moments, she held out her hand.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLZCoPO13F

"Give me the photo."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTBduZ34wY

Methon frowned.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRd8B1HdYT

"What?"

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzswJxH78N

"The photo."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5cVHOF0Jv

He hesitated before handing it to her.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y6nuD0fih

She placed it on the table.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuid73s3U23

Then she picked up the candle that was already in the room.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQstJPfHUc

"What are you doing?"

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbegr0AzrK

She smiled.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7JkBUCfk6

"We're holding a funeral."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jP8io8lrN

"For your past."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJMqZO6yUp

Methon stared at her as if she were crazy.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0swZoy21sb

"This is ridiculous."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM9XsteV1u

"I know."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEinKHZW59B

"It's childish."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5JGRAuGLe

"I know."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHeNUnVqIz

"It won't change anything."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJaM6npDRC

"I know."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VFlURf0Zs

She lit the candle anyway.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkKq0GssyC

"But sometimes..."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyfs4y5ZCF

"Our heart needs a goodbye that our mind never received."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JA9m1jtLI

She gently held the photograph above the flame.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkODe32j97

Methon quickly stopped her.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nB1QrlJPf

"No."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrnkx1Y3uP

She looked at him.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4bwQm4P4P

"If you keep holding onto this..."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFea6Unjkw

"You'll never have room for tomorrow."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyipkxfxlrw

After a long silence...

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQfyf5rY4g

Methon slowly released the photograph.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zRVNlgmfR

The edges caught fire.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ1OaiSRMa

Within seconds, the picture turned into ashes.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aEGtLiIeC

Valindra collected the ashes in a tissue and handed them to him.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSwLR9JtCk

"Now."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw8VfwGKwx

"Flush them away."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuH2L3NKfr

Methon looked at her in disbelief.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJO9snpPFr

"You can't be serious."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu1LBmcd5X

"I'm completely serious."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5whT8DpXTs

He sighed.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZFS7JpiBw

"This is the weirdest advice I've ever received."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIvnPdUT32

She smiled proudly.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUqfS66Zoh

"And yet..."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV4WoRTKjV

"...you'll do it."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQv3TaXFcK

A few minutes later, he returned from the bathroom.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghEBabGTJM

Valindra looked at him expectantly.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhRIqXF8iA

"So?"

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAzaXlj0WG

Methon took a deep breath.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ1MXL4bTs

"...I don't know why."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmmXsixiDW

"But..."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SHH1OWIua

"I actually feel a little lighter."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ188Iqzsyqr

Valindra smiled.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYM3ko10PO

"I told you."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44WBpzYr8b

"Sometimes healing begins with the smallest goodbye."

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVnErYyQLc

Outside, the wind grew stronger.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUssFSS9HxM

Neither of them knew...

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNujOy3VKfI

That before sunrise, their journey together would take another unexpected turn.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8wLFU9pzO
