"Did you just bring me there to show me my future if it weren't for you?"
Zora asked as we walked into the more beautiful and well-lit part of the place. I remained silent for a moment, after which I asked.
"Do you think that is the reason I did this?"
Zora didn't respond, but her silence spoke volumes about her being out of line. The two of us just aligned together in the silence, after which Zora spoke.
"Sorry, I was just influenced by my emotions for a moment. I guess I had, in a sense, come to forget how twisted the world really is."
As Zora said this, she held the beautiful butterfly gear in her hands, her eyes shifting through it as I asked.
"Did you have to fill that boy with such hope?"
My words made Zora smile a bit as she replied.
"The hope of a child in the past had given me the will to move forward. I think it's in my interest to share that back to the world."
