Rurik could still remember clearly how his last day alive on District 42 was. Maybe, the fact that it was his last day emphasized it even more, so his mind could replay his last moments just as if he was living it again.
It wasn't something good at all. Actually, those memories caused his heart to get even more dejected as days passed by. It was just a sad memory for him now.
When his mind began to show him that day, which was an occasion that happened often enough from time to time, he could even feel the same way that he felt before.
He could feel that distant pain in his heart, which was the most curious thing for him because he never thought that death would be so painless like that. Although Rurik was a Healer and had a good understanding of the human body and mind, he never could imagine how someone about to die felt.
