"You talk to me when I read the words you wrote and I'll think that you listen as I'll write back". A spinoff to 'Trust fall' with the story of Sia. I've learnt to fall in love, it's finally crystal clear. Just the way you do and oh! It is so rare. Now when I close my eyes, I can have you all for me, but how will we love if you'll no longer be? I've finally learnt to smile, the smile induced by the words you share, I hope they would last, they won't ever disappear . So that when I close my eyes, I can have you all for me, but how will I be happy if you no longer be? I've also learnt to carry on, because I know you're still here, as your overwhelming love is all that I bear. It makes me close my eyes and I can have you all for me, but how will we go on if you no longer be? I've learnt to feel you, my dear, your presence envelopes me when nobody sees you near. But they will never know that when I close my eyes, I can have you all for me but how do I pursue, if you'll no longer be? But don't make me learn the thing I don't want to care. What you ask of me, my love, is my utmost despair. Because when I close my eyes, I need you all for me but how will I survive if you'll no longer be? Hold on tight, my love, don't you let go; Loving your memories is all that I know. How would you understand? How do I show? That the hardest thing for me is letting you go.

Cilia and Allele go on a mission that requires $150,000 dollars in order to restore...her eyes. Cover by: @dragology
