Julia sobbed over his chest, and he raised his hand to hold her head. His other hand held her closer, hugging her as she grieved her father. Everything she had been holding back, all the tears and frustrations, exploded after she ensured Arthur returned.
The snowflakes covered them as Julia grieved for her father. As she did, Arthur thought about if he could revive him. However, the last time he did that, he had to give a part of himself and sacrifice his growth.
