(LXII) Goodbye

Sera stared at Jackson's hand in confusion before staring into his eyes, "What do you mean? You've always been here."

Jackson shook his head slowly, unable to believe his ears, and repeated, "You've always been here?"

"Yes."

"But…how? You can't enter God's Tower until you're nineteen!" Jackson asked incredulously. 

"God's Tower..?" Sera asked, tilting her head and tapping her lower lip with her index finger as she thought, "Never heard of it!"

"That's impossible. Have you been living under a rock?" Jackson furrowed his brow, throwing his palms out. 

"No, I've been living here!" She replied, raising her brow and tilting her head again. 

"..." Jackson's brain short-circuited as his arms hung and smoke rose from his head. Sera reached forward to tap his shoulder when she shuddered and started looking around.
