Alex held Mira's frail body close, feeling the last remnants of her life force slowly draining away.
Her golden hair returned back to its usual black as the effects of her Golden Presence talent started to wear off.
Her once vibrant body, full of life, now hung limp.
Her skin was deathly pale and cracked all over the place like porcelain.
She was so weak, too exhausted to even speak.
All she could manage was a deep, meaningful smile, tears slipping silently from her eyes as she looked at Alex, a gaze filled with pure, unfiltered selfless love.
"Mira…"
Alex's voice trembled as he held her tighter.
His heart was breaking in many ways he didn't think possible.
He could feel her life slipping away, and there was nothing he could do.
He, the one who wielded immense power, heralded as the most talented awakened the human race had to offer, was utterly helpless now.
"Why… why did you do this?"
