SIMON
Elona died during Ante-Eden's attack on the capital.
Even now, writing those words in my mind feels unreal. The person who had once brought light back into my life, the person who had helped me believe that love and family were still possible after everything I had lost, died before I could make things right between us. I never told her how sorry I was. I never repaired what I had broken. I never gave her the apology she deserved, nor the warmth I had stolen from her in those final days.
Worst of all, when the end came, I was not even by her side.
That absence has never stopped haunting me.
