162 – From the Leaders

Adrian had opened his mouth again to speak, but he seemed hesitant.

"What are you waiting for, Adrian?" I crouched beside that man. "Doesn't Velvet have the right to know what really happened? She's indeed a prophet, but she is also your friend. Do you want to let her continue to sink into this lie?"

Adrian still didn't speak and instead looked down again.

I brought my mouth to that man's ear and whispered. "This is the future when you are dead. You don't have anything anymore. Why are you still hiding this?"

He choked. Velvet lifted that man's face.

"Please, tell me what really happened." The prophet asked while sobbing.

"I-is this really in the future?" Adrian Gulped. "The last thing I remember was being in a dark place, and suddenly a yellow light appeared around me."

Velvet's tears continued to flow freely. "I don't even understand what's going on…."

"Am I really dead?" And he cut off the prophet's words.
