“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”364Please respect copyright.PENANACzFzQdvDwp
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left364Please respect copyright.PENANATJy3pGj2fV
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find364Please respect copyright.PENANAbOkOvyCUcK
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them364Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5pn1qsUZL
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”364Please respect copyright.PENANAjCDIkToF4E
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.364Please respect copyright.PENANAZLmts50p4P
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,364Please respect copyright.PENANAQNtY0UoNtY
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something364Please respect copyright.PENANAsEADWZBG99
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,364Please respect copyright.PENANAKu47qSV2uE
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none364Please respect copyright.PENANAEB2DTGWNCK
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may364Please respect copyright.PENANAVzmBWavRhl
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and364Please respect copyright.PENANAlfpRoK6p1D
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”364Please respect copyright.PENANAqLAuNLDobR
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right364Please respect copyright.PENANAut4sj067Oe
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.364Please respect copyright.PENANASm6Mtjgt6w
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all364Please respect copyright.PENANArpN5hWKBci
things easier.” He slowly stood up.364Please respect copyright.PENANAJoYY0CxmPa
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great364Please respect copyright.PENANAZeVpHsw6bA
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger364Please respect copyright.PENANAd97la1R2y8
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your364Please respect copyright.PENANAm4KmURchlA
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make364Please respect copyright.PENANAS1lIk1Gvzp
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain364Please respect copyright.PENANA04XLwHG4JR
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed364Please respect copyright.PENANAMhhW5HbI8D
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his364Please respect copyright.PENANAAUVWZsZamf
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,364Please respect copyright.PENANA5DUujcJwwy
I think I will hold on to this one.”364Please respect copyright.PENANA4FdXDg4Wye
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not364Please respect copyright.PENANAQslgfkFLZl
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that364Please respect copyright.PENANABfIF3TxuRV
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though364Please respect copyright.PENANA2u4VtYZb94
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something364Please respect copyright.PENANA8FQQyqaxXg
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.364Please respect copyright.PENANArM3qwqrziR
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.364Please respect copyright.PENANAc0B0zLtR3q
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,364Please respect copyright.PENANARWsM9c5GHh
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever364Please respect copyright.PENANA0oJWtdfmyy
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks364Please respect copyright.PENANAairpS1PbJA
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue364Please respect copyright.PENANADdIt71kfmK
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”364Please respect copyright.PENANAGFJLpa92NU
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me364Please respect copyright.PENANAh38BubfEJ0
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”364Please respect copyright.PENANAS1d8SpDWgl
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;364Please respect copyright.PENANACLmv52uPPT
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that364Please respect copyright.PENANArRHk949qXH
in a very long time.”364Please respect copyright.PENANAP9Isagkwqg
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.364Please respect copyright.PENANARVl7EgOMij
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the364Please respect copyright.PENANAxKt3kj0LTF
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.364Please respect copyright.PENANA0OeuCXQar7
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.364Please respect copyright.PENANAiDalUfJ187
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.364Please respect copyright.PENANA7wSweLvK0j
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”364Please respect copyright.PENANAd7pnN5Y5jV
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish364Please respect copyright.PENANAyqthYU2XKN
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
