"Aether, Aether, Aether!" Helena screamed, her voice cracking as she relentlessly banged on the Front wall that had swallowed Aether. Tears streamed down her face, her chest heaving with fear and desperation.
"Helena, please... calm down first," Ashara said with concern as she tried to steady Helena.
She pressed her hands against the cold surface of the wall, pushing with all her might, but nothing happened. It was just a wall—silent and unyielding.
Helena's mind felt like it was shattering. She had already lost her mother, and now her only beloved was gone, taken by something beyond her comprehension. Her vision blurred with tears as she clawed at the wall.
"W-Why is this happening to me?!" Helena screamed, gripping her hair with trembling hands, as though she might rip it out in sheer frustration.
Her telepathic link to Aether was severed, an unnatural void blocking her connection, which only heightened her panic!
