Osbert could have sworn he watched Jel walk away, though he could do nothing to reach out to the man.
No matter how much he willed his body to grab the man, it wouldn't listen.
There are so many things I want to talk to you about. He thought, staring at his retreating back, a light began to surround the man. How much longer will I have to wait to see you again?
Why do you keep disappearing?
Jel's voice resounded in his subconscious, "Don't worry, we'll see each other again."
But that only made him more annoyed. When? Aren't we seeing each other right now? Can't we talk now?
You keep going to a place I can't ever reach.
You said you would answer all my questions and yet you disappeared. What am I supposed to do now? I still have so many questions and I can't even ask the people closest to me.
…
…
Don't go.
