Perhaps Evin was also feely antsy due to the imminent possibility of separation. He felt like separation was something far off in the future, so he was shocked to see it come to him so soon.

'How did it even come to this? Didn't we just come to the North to save my family from those mysterious attackers? At some point, the mysterious attackers turned to otherworlders and then we had to visit Lord Kena, hoping he'll be able to help us somehow… who suddenly offered a solution to split our soul…'

The past week was too much adventure; not just for his family, but to Evin as well. He felt tired, confused, and there was a constant weight of something on his mind.

The unnatural gray surrounding him did not help his mood either. He also felt the need to constantly look back, in case some people were following him from behind.

Evin needed something to distract himself.

Endra shrugged.

Evin kept on walking, occasionally glancing back to see if someone was following him. So far, no one had shown themselves so he was starting to feel like an idiot.

Evin asked.

Endra's tone was giddy; dreamy almost. It was the first time Evin heard him act like this. It felt weird thinking that him and Endra were having completely different emotions.

Endra said.

Endra said.

Evin thought about the idea and the more he thought about it, the more he liked it.

Evin chuckled.

Listening to Endra, Evin couldn't help but think that this person was completely different from the man he saw in his visions. Their personalities were different, their speech and mannerisms were different, even their thoughts were on a completely different level. Evin reckoned that even he, a 10-year-old was smarter than the man he saw in those visions. Not just smarter, more worldly and not as naïve either.

The only resemblance Evin could think of was in their looks. The 'Evan' that died in the visions looked exactly the same as Endra. Every part of their face was exactly the same, down to the smallest detail.

'But did I really see Endra's past? Or was it something I dream up?'

Evin couldn't really say that. His experience felt true. The amount of control he had, the length of the visions and how the information was relayed, everything was real.

Endra hummed.

Endra' chuckled.

Endra laughed.

Evin said, thinking of the sigh-inducing list of 'luxuries'.

Endra chuckled,

Evin sighed.

Things were going well before all these things happened, but for the past few days, his mother's smile only turned more and more miserable.

He felt he'd feel better if he didn't have to see his mother's sorrowful gaze all the time, but now that she was gone, only regret at making her go through such a hellish experience lingered. And at this point, Theor must've already talked about how Evin tortured and threatened him to get his way.

'It suddenly feels like I'll never see her again. And even if I do, she'll only have hate and disgust for me.'
