It had almost been a year. But the incident was still crystal clear in Heartless's mind. Her crying, taking Amber in her arms, Jackdaw doing his best to save Death, Sparrow flying tons of medkits to them. But it wasn't enough. Death was gone, gone from her life. She felt like she knew very little about him. But she knew his biggest secrets. About how he had an affair with Rose before Heartless and Death got together, then Rose was killed. The fact that Death was an orphan.

She suddenly heard a knock

"Can we go to Jackdaw?" Amer pleaded. 

"No not rig.....Ok fine, get ready"

"THANK YOU YOU'RE THE BEST!" Amber exclaimed

Amber and Heartless sat down in their Lamborghini Aventador, a gift from Death. They drove in silence till they reached Jackdaw's

"YAY UNLCE JACKDAW!" Amber exclaimed

Jackdaw was pleasantly surprised. He invited them for dinner and they ate talking with each other. Sparrow joined in as well. Jackdaw noticed that Heartless was not eating her food and decided to talk to her after dinner.

"Hey Heartless, can.... can I talk to you?"

"If it's about Death, you can't"

"Listen I know you loved him but..."

"LOVED HIM!?!? HE WAS MY LIFE, SOMETHING WITHOUT WHICH MY LIFE WOULD BE INCOMPLETE!"

"I know! But you need to move on...."

"How could you SAY that!? He helped you in your life-long goal of destroying Halcyon, he saved your life from the cops, and now he's dead, and you're saying you have moved on!?!?"

"He's gone! Can't you see that"

"I know he's gone. I guess this is how he felt when Rose died, miserable, like a living dead body."

"Listen, I think....... You should say over here for the night, you can sleep in Sparrow's room.

"Ok."

And so she slept, tossing and turning, thinking about Death. At last, she couldn't take it anymore. She went outside and started staring at the stars. Death and Heartless shared their last kiss under the stars, and she believed in the fact that when people die they become stars. 

She saw the brightest star and thought

"That's you Death, I hope you are fine up there. And for God's Sake, please tell me you have learned how to take cover?"
