While at the market, I saw an advertisement for counseling sessions. The same ones that Arthorias had promoted a few months ago.
After the last dungeon, the twins were not doing well. It was obvious that the game was getting to them.
I can't do much for them, but at least I can steer them toward someone who can.
I decided that I would bring it up to them first thing in the morning.
We made it back to the Inn and bid each other good night.
However, what was supposed to be a restful night was far from it.
That night, I had another dream about Xuelian.
She had appeared before me, and before I could say a word, she slapped me and turned to walk away.
At that moment, I desperately reached out, calling her name, hoping I could get even a small sliver of a miracle so i could apologize to her.
After a few steps, she vanished.
My heart sank.
Then.
Then, I felt deep pressure and sharp pain in my chest. Looking down, a fist had been pushed through my chest.
And with a whisper I heard.
"I hate you, you coward. Go away."
