"Do you remember when you gave me the directions to that jewelry shop to buy a necklace?"
Helix was sitting on a hillside, looking over the city of Lexion as the sun rose.
He woke up early and couldn't get back to sleep.
So he stuck out of his trailer and found a peaceful area not far from the caravan's encampment.
"I was buying it for my crush Sarah.
When I bought it, I wasn't confident to tell her how I felt, so it sat in my room for weeks.
But….
When Emelia died, I realized how quickly you could lose someone you love."
Tears rolled down Helix's cheeks as he heard the young man's words.
"I always envied you for showing your love for Emelia so openly.
It constantly reminded me of what I couldn't do.
But when she died, I realized that Emelia was a symbol that reflected my feelings for Sarah.
So when Emelia was gone, I felt like Sarah had died too.
That's… a bad way to express that. I hope you won't get mad at me."
Helix closed his eyes and smiled bitterly.
