“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”99Please respect copyright.PENANA0H8IPP6VDq
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left99Please respect copyright.PENANAIenQOKhHzW
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find99Please respect copyright.PENANAN4dyG7a5sg
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them99Please respect copyright.PENANAlmrFGvjk5R
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”99Please respect copyright.PENANA0y9LRCJKsj
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.99Please respect copyright.PENANAKyDL2LEReE
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,99Please respect copyright.PENANACzbzV3fhrP
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something99Please respect copyright.PENANALklf0tH2hQ
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,99Please respect copyright.PENANABKQKFvmZbR
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none99Please respect copyright.PENANAAZEiYpUm54
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may99Please respect copyright.PENANA9Jvyt1tC1t
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and99Please respect copyright.PENANAS24eLW7ZGl
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”99Please respect copyright.PENANAxHDnLXcDDr
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right99Please respect copyright.PENANAXXn8qZt331
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.99Please respect copyright.PENANA13pwKjInl0
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all99Please respect copyright.PENANAvlJ9QcsWZj
things easier.” He slowly stood up.99Please respect copyright.PENANAGD9BeNqnll
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great99Please respect copyright.PENANAAAn64WKY06
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger99Please respect copyright.PENANAmJvScHzG8Z
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your99Please respect copyright.PENANAlSMnMy5WMG
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make99Please respect copyright.PENANAmKM2oqDTIE
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain99Please respect copyright.PENANAV5UgB2sq0m
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed99Please respect copyright.PENANAoBCIRZQMIl
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his99Please respect copyright.PENANAmdnY8rajSN
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,99Please respect copyright.PENANAHZ4mV7dhDq
I think I will hold on to this one.”99Please respect copyright.PENANAaqpYsKsPK0
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not99Please respect copyright.PENANA7fefjymmBh
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that99Please respect copyright.PENANA0AjC5ekMO3
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though99Please respect copyright.PENANAw73FMQ454y
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something99Please respect copyright.PENANASidKu0Xra5
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.99Please respect copyright.PENANAk42fIQYuMN
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.99Please respect copyright.PENANAFU2qDetg8p
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,99Please respect copyright.PENANA7EwQUF2su4
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever99Please respect copyright.PENANAAPLH16g4Ag
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks99Please respect copyright.PENANAxC72pSwfXP
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue99Please respect copyright.PENANAOUnMHce8Mx
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”99Please respect copyright.PENANAqpZ6Ypl5Kh
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me99Please respect copyright.PENANAy0WGLyppXS
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”99Please respect copyright.PENANAwEUAtLlRYO
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;99Please respect copyright.PENANAM1vl8cXruw
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that99Please respect copyright.PENANATtJtYQVBk7
in a very long time.”99Please respect copyright.PENANA3RwIorTKsu
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.99Please respect copyright.PENANALnim2hTZjL
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the99Please respect copyright.PENANAzfKSJXiZWn
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.99Please respect copyright.PENANAfkYx7MxQZn
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.99Please respect copyright.PENANAfLKdtrBMsJ
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.99Please respect copyright.PENANAwGYKn4cVML
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”99Please respect copyright.PENANAEwKmbZoMKH
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish99Please respect copyright.PENANASRABgqZSQP
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
