The gentle babble of water a stark contrast to the turmoil in Dylan's heart. He sat by the edge, cradling Momo in his arms, tears falling like a never-ending stream. His chest felt heavy, each breath labored as he watched the love of his life slip away.

He could feel the chaos inside her body with his spiritual energy, knowing that her internal state was in total disarray. The poison had done its job well.
