Chapter 110

"Last of all, I'd like to thank you. And as a little parting gift, head to the south for a little while and you'll find him. I know you'll be looking." 

Her body starts to rise as well, and I subconsciously reach out only to find that only seconds later she is far beyond my reach. 

After a single blink it seems like she faded into the clouds, only a particle of mist in the endless, blue sky.

The whispers are gone. I feel slightly lonely, but at the same time liberated by the possibilities that this change offers. There is no one to pave the way for me anymore, and I can go in any direction that I choose. 

Even if Faye was only a figment of my imagination and I'm actually going insane, I can't bring myself to care. 

Instantly I turn and start running to what I know to be the south. Call it intuition, or for all I know it could just be a silly guess.
