Episode 85:
Around 4 years go by ever since Adairius Ingram's death (Casimir and Celestyn's father, Zephryn's husband).
Zephryn gets ready to visit Adairius' grave with Casimir and Celestyn.
She looks at herself in her bedroom mirror, taking in her reflection.
Zephryn's narration:
Line 1) The day has finally come of your birthday once again.
Line 2) This day has never been the same ever since you've passed away.
Line 3) Do we celebrate? It's all very confusing.
Line 4) All I know is that I still feel like I haven't progressed mentally ever since that night.
Line 5) It's like time stopped, and everyone around me got ahead while I was still tied to the past.
Line 6) And then suddenly, our kids have been growing in a flash.
Line 7) Casimir is now 17, and Celestyn is 20.
Line 8) You make your verdict of whether or not I did a good job of raising them these past couple of years. I'm not confident enough to proclaim such a thing myself.
The day is June 22nd, 2015. It's nighttime on a Monday.
Celestyn, Zephryn, and Casimir arrive at Adairius' grave.
They bring over flowers, sitting around the grave to celebrate their dad's birthday in a melancholy mood.
Zephryn smiles bittersweetly as she observes her children gathered around.
Zephryn
Line 9) Did I ever mention to you guys that your dad wanted to go to China for our trip*?
*Refer back to episode 82, line 64.
Celestyn and Casimir glance at their mother wistfully.
Zephryn
Line 10) That would've been fun, right?
