777 An open book

Lance woke up hopeful that despite his condition, things would get better. But to hear his friend tell him that the only person he wanted to see was gone. That just put a nail in his coffin.

He felt his world go crumbling down on his feet. 

"What do you mean gone?" He had to ask again, unable to accept his words. 

He wanted to think that he might have misunderstood his friend's meaning. Well, it was what his heart wished to believe.

"You know what I mean. Eida left and had no plan of returning." Evan repeated, probably hoping that he would finally accept the inevitable. 

Of course, his brain grasped fully what his friend said. His mind could fully function again. But his heart refused to acknowledge that the woman he loved had left him. 

But why? That was unclear. He needed an explanation coming from her.

"Did she say why she was leaving?" Lance asked his friend, hoping he had some answers.
