Her eyelids fluttered, tears welling up and distorting her vision. The world before her appeared hazy and indistinct.

She couldn't fathom it.

She had merely dozed off. How could Alexis vanish into thin air?

Desperation consumed her as she pounded the glass relentlessly. Her palm grew swollen, yet she refused to surrender...

It all seemed like an illusion, a haunting reverie.

If she could awaken from this slumber, Alexis would undoubtedly still be there.

Rena commenced a frenzy of destruction. She believed that the shattering sounds would surely rouse her from this bewildering dream...

It had to be a dream.

Waylen held her tightly amidst the chaos. The ward lay in ruins.

His arm was streaked with crimson...

Gazing upon the wreckage before her, Rena gradually succumbed to the stark reality that Alexis had truly departed.

Alexis had vanished from the world.

Waylen clung to her, his embrace a refuge of solace. He uttered, “Rena, please calm down."

Rena struck him repeatedly, her cries filled with hysteria.

"Waylen...

Alexis is gone. She's gone."

Waylen endured it all.

He understood that Rena harbored immense animosity towards him, yet he could only endure it.

He held her.

He held onto the Last remnants of tenderness between them...

He held her for an eternity

Rena found herself in a daze. She murmured softly, “Where is she? I need to see her."
