The story revolves around a long period of time.
Many things grow as a result of time, but many things wither and fade away as well. Those who used to be by my side appear to be pictures from the past. The previously heard sound of breath has become the sound of wind and emptiness.
Nigel Gawain died two years ago in the winter at the age of eighty-two. Hareve and I were both very sad at the time. After many months, we discussed who would live longer...
Sadly, it appears to be me.
“Despite the fact that you’re very strong.”
Today, the strongest former Duke Lancelot is lying in bed. He is looking at me with his misty rainbow eyes. That makes me feel weak.
“Gilbert…”
As he calls that name again, he may begin to...lose consciousness.
My hand reaches out to squeeze his hand to feel the wrinkle of time that hurts my heart as well as that faint pulse...
I used to believe that I would not cry, but in the end, I do.
"Gilbert."
"Mhm."
"Sorry."
"Mhm."
