Liam’s presence on the island filled the four friends with a profound sense of peace. It was as if the weight of the world had been lifted from their shoulders. He looked just as they remembered—warm, kind, and full of life. But there was something different about him now, something ethereal.
“We thought we lost you,” Louis whispered, unable to hold back his emotions.
Liam smiled, his eyes reflecting the light around him. “You never lost me. I’ve been here, watching over you, waiting for the moment when you would find your way back.”
Harry stepped forward, his voice trembling. “But how? We don’t understand. Are you... are you really here?”
Liam nodded. “I’m here, but not in the way you’ve known me. This place... it’s a bridge between the world you know and the world beyond. It’s a place of faith, where the boundaries between life and death are thin.”
Zayn, still grappling with the emotions of their journey, spoke up. “We’ve been through so much to get here. We faced our fears, our regrets... but we still don’t understand why. Why now? Why did you call us?”
Liam’s expression softened. “Because you needed to heal. All of you. And I needed to show you that I’m okay, that I’m at peace. But more than that, I wanted to remind you of something important—your purpose, your destiny.”
“Destiny?” Niall asked, his brow furrowed. “What do you mean?”
Liam gestured toward the glowing water that surrounded the island. “You were brought together for a reason. Your music, your journey—it wasn’t just for the world, it was for you too. It shaped you, it connected you, and now, it’s time for you to understand that your bond is unbreakable, even by death.”
