I felt happy.
I must say this is a rare emotion, one that my face seldom shows. The lips on my face curled up to my cheeks, and my eyes softened. I did not know what this was. Where was this?

Tears escaped my eyes, and a sob escaped my lips.
'Jester' I thought.
For once, I couldn't imagine how he must be living. These burdened..suppressed emotions were all his.
Is that why he always kept a stoic face in front of me? Because he had already experienced so much grief, that there is nothing but a dead heart buried inside his chest?!
Lilith was still entranced by the vine-covered buildings, her back turned to me, completely unaware of the mess I had become.
