Chapter 68

~Kamari~

I've been without them for a few weeks now. It's hard not to feel bitter about them, yet my heart still yearns for them. It might have seemed pathetic, but I prayed they would come back. Until then, I became busy, hoping I wouldn't think about them so much. Ignis resembled Nye so much it was unbelievable, and she had a bit of a sassy nature. Now, she and Ryuu would go on little trips together.

And during their absence, I took care of Mael. I thought leaving him in an empty underdwelling with no food or anything to occupy his time was cruel. So I brought him books and food. A body couldn't pass through, but objects could. And I hated to admit but, I needed his company. Of course, I had Calea, but she only understood certain parts of me. I sit by Mael on the staircase to the under-dwelling. Mael had already healed and seemed to be coming around from his defeat.
