Fate seems to be not satisfied enough.
It already took Madeline and Ruben from me. Felicity and I have fallen apart. I can no longer see Sol the same way as before. Now, it wants to send my only remaining companion away.
Lewis is a peddler - someone who has no permanent place to stay in. He'd been moving from one city to another for who knows how long. He travels to far places and even visits towns that are outside of Ellicht. Worst of all, Julius said that he's not coming back once he leaves.
Too shaken by the news, all I did at that point was float into space and eventually lose track of time.
"Lily, I'm sorry for coming so late! Did you wait long?"
Lewis finally arrived a short while after. I don't know how much time already passed so I only stay quiet. He responds to this in puzzlement, peering at my deflated figure with a question mark written all over his face. The awkwardness drags on until he catches sight of the beret I've been gripping tightly since Julius left.
