A Serene Send-Off

As I approached the boat, Ivica's body came into view. She lay there peacefully, surrounded by an array of colorful flowers. Her simple white dress flowed gently in the breeze, while her long red hair fell delicately around her face, now pale and unmoving.

Though her eyes were closed, she seemed to exude a sense of calm and serenity, as if the weight of the world had been lifted off her shoulders. Even in death, she remained as stunning as ever.

Ivica's sister stood silently beside the boat, her hand caressing Ivica's forehead. She appeared lost in thought, her empty eyes fixed on the still figure lying in front of her.

However, upon sensing my presence, she gave me a single, lifeless glance before turning back to her task. She appeared indifferent to my arrival, her face devoid of any emotion.
