Rion's steps quickened as his legs moved by themselves, and Karhun followed him without a word.
A few minutes later, Rion stopped before a hut that had nothing hanging around its walls.
It was the hut that he had first opened his eyes in, the hut that had given him his most precious gift — life.
His heart wasn't beating like a drum, nor was the warmth caressing him; he wasn't doing it out of his love or passion. Instead, he was doing it because he wanted to.
A strange joy began to bubble inside him as he stepped forward and knocked at the door of the doctor's hut.
Tkk! Tkk!
He waited at the door with bated breath and soon, a minute passed in wait, but the door didn't open.
'Did something happen to her?' He frowned and knocked louder this time.
Tok! Tok!
"Who?" A soft, feminine voice came from inside the hut.
He exhaled in relief and replied, "It's me, Rion. I've come to see you, doctor."
