Yarin's POV:
Lily was going to leave, and I couldn't change that fact because I couldn't help her with anything.
In fact, everything had been foreseen long ago. Lily said she was too naive, but I was foolish too, idealizing everything, ignoring the obvious, and thinking I could really be of help.
But the truth was that everything I could do relied on the power my parents gave me. These seemingly mighty things were the most ephemeral, and I didn't truly possess them. So, I felt weak and powerless when it came to wanting to protect someone.
We didn't talk for long. As soon as Lily mentioned her departure, everything became awkward. It was like we suddenly became strangers, not knowing what to say. So, I hung up the phone hastily, only feeling regret for potentially wasting our last chance to talk.
The human world was so vast. Where would Lily go?
