"Hey KJ…" Jade greeted feebly.
"Hey Jade," KJ said softly.
He could not bear to see his friend in that state. Jade looked as if he was barely holding on to life with all his willpower. But his will was weakening. His eyes were getting dimmer and he could barely move his limb. The heart monitor also showed his heartbeat rate was dropping to dangerously low levels.
KJ held his tiny paw gently with his fingers. Jade gave him a weak smile but winced.
"I always thought you'd be by my side forever," KJ admitted. His voice was heavy with sadness. A part of him was crushed beneath an endless abyss of grief. The shock of losing another friend was unbearable, throwing him into an endless hole.
"You still have a lot left to do," Jade mumbled. "Me? My time is over. I was supposed to be dead a long time ago. You saved me and Mirae. But I can't live on borrowed time forever…"
