Yarin's POV:
The second half of the journey couldn't bring me any more joy. On the one hand, Heller's face was getting paler and paler after suffering the side effects; on the other hand, Lily was missing. I didn't have the mood to enjoy the festive atmosphere at all.
Heller became increasingly taciturn. He felt like vomiting when he uttered the last sentence to me. Even Denise gradually became quiet as if we influenced her.
I almost couldn't maintain my smile. I didn't know how my mother could remain calm in so many dangerous situations. To me, just my brother and friends were enough to make me panic.
At this moment, I realized I was completely unqualified, regardless of my identity. Perhaps I should have been tougher at the beginning. I should have dragged Heller out of the float to check on him and then asked about Lily.
