7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOly6odOCKU

The room was silent.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfFGFvoL1x

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

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kfTTDIz2S

Valindra looked at Methon patiently.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJvUAFsDZY

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

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmugFY0vH3h

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

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAp8HxLcGZ

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

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaV9TS0iAE

Valindra looked at it.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eapv2xB6H

A beautiful young woman stood beside Methon, smiling brightly.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpalfZyucXe

"She?" Valindra asked softly.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27F9YBUiOr

Methon nodded.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE3nJYYU48

"Her name was Ilana."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzHPfGNG31

"What happened?"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfijvEh3l6

He stared at the photograph for several seconds.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uArP0ta4o

"I trusted her with everything."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGsX64wcjS

"My heart."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboMRwGUeNJ

"My future."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPU3XqF2Jr

"My dreams."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqDTCBgvm1

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

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnXnVKuYN2

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

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRk1Txohgu

Valindra stayed silent.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik0xqQE4zE

Methon continued,

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6rFOvvRtq

"She cheated on me."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoIvIZ6ExY

"I wasn't enough for her."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfvC3u3IEV

"One day, she simply walked away."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkyFCMQsO5

"No explanation."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtigdZWx2ux

"No goodbye."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohZC1QUTAo

"Nothing."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ14u9oGots

He laughed bitterly.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyW296OGbu

"After that..."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdt61kWaMH

"I stopped living."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqdmNNZigv

"My company started collapsing."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcUCGRkzCu

"I stopped attending meetings."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniyP51rf2F

"I stopped sleeping."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC4wWsIWTY

"I stopped smiling."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w0y8GaTes

"I was alive..."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB22p9SaEu

"But I wasn't living anymore."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuATHcqu3d9

Valindra looked at him with sympathy.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6idKrYbb5w

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

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2LrJXCqSr

She simply listened.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCvssJ17bP

After a few moments, she held out her hand.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvQHtsLhOs

"Give me the photo."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXDUCvywvk

Methon frowned.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchhEpVDuIQ

"What?"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L0DPkMCGl

"The photo."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt4bv8nA0f

He hesitated before handing it to her.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeibTNPqSvp

She placed it on the table.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYqDAoq0yK

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

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGCHlSpfnq

"What are you doing?"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwirG5tpDHS

She smiled.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2lvRo9HrW

"We're holding a funeral."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUJIYX7jQG

"For your past."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2eSYKS7dW

Methon stared at her as if she were crazy.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fBe5m0n4t

"This is ridiculous."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUcCXu7UYB

"I know."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX2Y0Tm2HW

"It's childish."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zt8WVvarZ

"I know."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcC2NoA9rq

"It won't change anything."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoGp8MgVXQ

"I know."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2FiVJsh08

She lit the candle anyway.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctkRTJ8HAl

"But sometimes..."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3JV5ZPhRi

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

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbxhsYuDg0

She gently held the photograph above the flame.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjurhrw4xyO

Methon quickly stopped her.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQe4JzeHGm

"No."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76ZRh8P59K

She looked at him.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyyWx3Zt58

"If you keep holding onto this..."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos9LWRfAQj

"You'll never have room for tomorrow."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpzrEjxzdo

After a long silence...

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BQZqnSFWG

Methon slowly released the photograph.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03rxuHCMrp

The edges caught fire.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgQMS1kLT7

Within seconds, the picture turned into ashes.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM3WjLa8yu

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

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwYdvvk2zq

"Now."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnQwVZARoH

"Flush them away."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL6SjVGtoM

Methon looked at her in disbelief.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgCcLiSQ6Q

"You can't be serious."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42xu82UOmq

"I'm completely serious."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeImXf9AZH

He sighed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhkCB4Fpqh

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

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOctsCreAh9

She smiled proudly.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPXpY9DwcL

"And yet..."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaGEm9WAI7

"...you'll do it."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SOIPA4GKc

A few minutes later, he returned from the bathroom.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelATGs5eEP

Valindra looked at him expectantly.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL67xmZF5Ld

"So?"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrTn2uGhio

Methon took a deep breath.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKQbzNbIak

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

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIddaJC69yS

"But..."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HlygzOFuV

"I actually feel a little lighter."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O7lbt4VCw

Valindra smiled.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk6MYy3miK

"I told you."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwguc1OoqkF

"Sometimes healing begins with the smallest goodbye."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfvauvoc2Y

Outside, the wind grew stronger.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMG18LWofd

Neither of them knew...

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlphD4xzQxG

That before sunrise, their journey together would take another unexpected turn.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaQ13I2e5Y
