Gong Fan was silent for a while before suddenly asking curiously, "Have you… heard of the Land of the Dead?"
Natalia turned around, her eyes flashing. "You mean… the 'Place of the Banished'?"
"Place of the Banished?"
"Yeah. I heard those patients at the hospital talking about it. People like us. It's meant to be our way back."
Natalia paused, her eyes darkening. "What's the difference between not being needed and being banished?"
Gong Fan looked at her purple eyes and his heart suddenly palpitated. For some reason he couldn't look her in the eye. Those purple eyes seemed to hold a magic beyond words. It was as if one would be bewitched if they looked at it for too long. He turned around and stopped looking at her.
Natalia smiled as she clasped her hands behind her back and walked to his side. Her speech suddenly slowed to a drawl. "Are you content to be exiled?"
"What?"
"Do you wish to go there?"
