He became ancient, sounded ancient and looked ancient.

His voice became raspy and coarse, but still sonorous.

His appearance didn't vibrantly shine anymore.

He willfully spent his last day with me, resting on a mattress beside my tank, frail as ever.

At last, he left me.

I still remember that last day clearly. He didn't speak to me, he didn't need to. We just kept each other company in tranquility.

The room was, at last, engulfed in a deeper painful silence.

That smile drove me into despair.

He always loved me.

He loved me despite my disabilities.
