Days turned into weeks, and Mikey was still struggling with his sorrow. He found it hard to focus on anything, and every little thing reminded him of Akkun. He was restless, consumed with regret and grief, and unable to shake it off.
Draken was worried about his friend, his heart aching for Mikey. He knew how difficult it was for him to cope with his emotions, especially after what happened to Akkun.
One day, Draken decided to talk to Mikey about how he was feeling. "Mikey, we need to talk," he said, walking up to his friend.
Mikey looked up at him, his eyes filled with pain. "What is it, Draken?" he asked, his voice hoarse.
"I know you're struggling, Mikey. And I want to help you," Draken said, his voice gentle.
Mikey swallowed hard, knowing that Draken was right. "I don't know what to do, Draken. I feel like I can't move on," he said, his voice trembling.
Draken pulled Mikey into a hug, holding him tightly. "It's okay, Mikey. You don't have to do this alone. We'll get through this together. Remember, we're family," he said, his voice filled with compassion.
Mikey nodded, tears welling up in his eyes. "Thank you, Draken. I don't know what I'd do without you," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.
Days turned into weeks, and with Draken's support and the help of their friends, Mikey gradually came to accept what happened to Akkun. His grief didn't disappear entirely, but he was no longer drowning in it.
He remembered what Draken had told him, that they were family and would always be there for each other. And with that realization, Mikey felt a sense of calmness, that he wasn't alone and that he didn't have to carry his burden by himself.
