Chapter 43: Affection
"Whatever, that's something for later. Anyway, that's all I wanted to talk about." Kaizer eventually decided to end the topic and laid back down.
Rina understood that was her cue to leave, but she suddenly found herself rooted to the spot, her mind coursing with unwillingness. She would never forget that feeling of despair when she died, that she had been too tied down by fears and worries to pursue what she wanted.
