Christina looked at little Erick in his father's arms one last time. She met Lucas' gaze:
"The world is amazing. You were right when you said that we are in an ocean of energy. I felt it, but I suppose it is not for evolvers at the fifth level to touch. I'm sure you will like it when you finally touch it."
She raised her hand toward Lucas, and despite the latter's reluctance, he knelt beside her. This allowed the weakened hand to touch his cheek.
As Christina stroked it, she stopped avoiding the topic. Still with her gentle gaze and soft smile, she apologized:
"I'm sorry for being selfish."
With those last words, her dim eyes closed, and the hand fell back onto the bed.
