Chapter 88: Eulogy (2)
The absence of just one person tormented Liam Moore with a profound sense of loneliness. Ever since Jefferson left, his mind had been in turmoil. Quietly, he reflected on his mistakes.
First, he had opened his heart too much to Jane Osmond.
Second, he had made it so obvious that even a casual observer could notice.
People like us shouldn’t get attached to anyone. Everyone would agree with that. Wasn’t it ‘Greenwich’ after all? The one who is wary of wizards and loathed by those who worship the gods of the outer realms. The one who is despised by those interrupted during meals. Naturally, upsetting someone from Greenwich would have repercussions that always impacted ordinary people.
He had let his guard down because Plurititas was friendly towards Jane. But there were countless other entities here beyond just those brain-collecting beings!
“What’s wrong?”
Suddenly, he heard Jane Osmond’s voice. In his downcast vision, he saw the hem of a blue skirt. She walked over and sat in front of him. Liam Moore had to fight the urge to look up.
Looking up would shatter the illusion.
He knew it wasn’t real. It was a hallucination borne from his desperate mind. Yet, his heart seized the moment of lost reason. Slowly, he parted his lips.
