Within the chambers of the Luna, Kelly sat still and alone. She listened to the wind sway in the distance and the servants go about preparations for laying Lia to her final rest, but her heart could not condone the pain.
It all still felt like a dream... a haunting nightmare she desperately wanted to escape from. But as she looked into the distance... her way out was locked from every corner.
A gentle knock on the door had startled her, but she quickly pulled herself together.
"Come in," she whispered, and the door creaked open.
Elias stepped inside alone, taking steady steps forward. It had only been hours, but Kelly looked disoriented despite the courageous front she was putting forth.
"Are you okay?" Elias asked, stepping closer, and Kelly sighed, then walked back to the sofa and sat down. Elias followed and sat opposite her. The silence between them lingered for a while, and Kelly slowly chuckled.
