“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDGIVfkIA5
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dxk2N4S7k
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9EqmJkd48
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMxKKLM0Vw
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RJOchehY5
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d2hgrUOoo
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMhcPIg83B
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bNyvJx6Iw
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kfciU197H
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7g1qe1UJP
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UrX1DFDdY
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOsyRyl8KT
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iaet8FvgY
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OmKQS4clM
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGwSKAfKnS
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGfpoa5Ro3
things easier.” He slowly stood up.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQQVuCxXVF
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuiAjIZNMW
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1rSSVvHV4
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UotWmY2fy
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTkjJ7MhVC
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ybqVcyaJX
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8dCtPKpem
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKZc8JtQoG
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGvCPgVe0u
I think I will hold on to this one.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzVfMhGsJS
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3qxIrL1wZ
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZGUm6O9Jz
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeHcg6a1Ij
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sRKINDf0I
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT8QxGlNB2
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzUl5YONrm
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAXcnFpHth
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwhTYf6tQI
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HdUJl6Sqb
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV6pdbZQVk
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7pUHOSnkI
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWXHh6Xrxx
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsZeidpQUt
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmWCbYKTiC
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U0uJ16xu3
in a very long time.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyfxk9LYvt
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxbcXtAEfW
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2D1A55UEN
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbaW1gilMX
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBkccc5ueS
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQB7LAT8kw
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uwz99zMm6
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXxiF4Xl2S
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
