to feed it. Maybe | can save it."
"Hayden..."
| said everything | needed to, hoping for an answer. But no one ever replied.
Well... sometimes, it felt like there was a response.
When | sat by his side, the wind would brush against my face. Soft, warm-just like his touch.
The days blurred together, marked only by the quiet rhythm of sunrises and sunsets. On the 35th day after his
death, | brought fresh flowers to his grave.
"Hayden, is this it? Is today the last day you're here? Will you be gone tomorrow?

the people | need to face." | hesitated, then added. "And I'll cafter the ones who did this to you."

lips.
Tears spilled over before | could stop them. In the month since Hayden's death, I'd barely cried. Only in those
quiet, unbearable moments when | missed him so much it felt like my chest might cave in.
But now, | reached for that strand of hair. "Hayden... is that you? You're here, aren't you?"
