Chapter 14: Soul Craft
After hearing Lira's story, the group now understood why she had always been cold...
"That's bad. Very bad. I'm so sorry about how it happened, but I really need to tell you this," Alexa said.
"No matter how it happened, that's in the past. You mustn't let it haunt you. Glory Expanse is your new world now, and you must learn to live with that reality," she added.
Lira gave her a short glance and nodded.
"How about you, Jon?" Alexa then asked.
"Well... it's some stupid kind of death. My mom brought an insecticide one day... it was packaged in a bottle, so I drank it thinking it was juice. Yeah, I was a stupid guy, believe me. I only realized it after taking a whole mouthful down to my belly... It was a very poisonous chemical..."
"So I had to die."
Jon smiled, still playfully, like he always would.
"That's crazy," Callum shook his head. He clearly didn't believe him.
This guy just shamelessly cooked up a stupid lie.
"Yes... though stupid people are meant to die stupidly," Jon replied.
