Want a Hug

Two days passed since I locked myself in a dark room; I did all these things to calm myself down and try not to think about what had happened. Thousands of people have been confirmed dead, including my troops, and now humanity can only pin their hopes on me.

If I give up, it will just make everything crumble away, and Emma has been crushed into spirit particles for a thousand years; she will not rejoin us.

On the other hand, Felix is seriously injured. Even with my magic, I can only heal him if he waits for time to pass.

When I left the room, I found the figures of Caroline and Olivia sitting on the floor while fast asleep, and I had everyone worried. I stroke their hair until both of them open their eyes and jump up to hug me.

"Zack?" they both called my name at the same time.

"I'm fine."

"I want a hug too," the voice came from Valentina, standing with Naomi, who winked at me.
