The morning sunlight fell through the window, carrying warmth and peace. The sun illuminated the very corner of the small room, swallowing the darkness completely.
With the morning light, Cassian also felt the darkness in his heart being swallowed, leaving him with a peaceful mind and the calmness of water.
He looked outside the window with a calm expression. There was no immaturity, no trace of the shyness of a teenage boy on his face. His youthful features had turned into the sharp, defined features of a young man.
He was no longer the cheerful sunshine who could smile even at his lowest. Instead, that had been replaced by a tough young man.
Cassian's gaze lingered on the vast landscape outside his room.
It had been five years since that day. He had buried those memories deep in his heart, but still, his heart was not calm. That face... he still remembered it like it was just yesterday.
