"The Jewel of Tethyt." Ryu went on his feet.
Faux's hand went still.
"It could grant immortality." Or so Ryu heard.
Faux was silent for a moment. Hmm . . . she then faced Ryu and said with a serious face and voice, "Nobody knows what the Jewel of Tethyt could do. But it couldn't bring her soul back to her body. There is a chance that without her original soul, Ferris would just turn into an immortal corpse. Is that what you want?"
Gurgh . . . Ryu closed his eyes tight for a brief second. "I . . . I don't want her to disappear."
". . ." Faux looked to the other side and sighed. It seemed that it was the first time that Ryu lost someone he truly cared about.
"Listen to me, little pup." Faux went to Ryu and looked into his amber eyes, "The only way for you to accept reality is by moving forward and make sure that you become strong to protect those you care about in the future."
