Chapter 56 - Fading

Lucis

He watched her as she lay in the hospital bed, he remembered thinking that the white around her made her look even paler than she usually was. He bit his thumb as he stared at her. Lilith's mother sat next to the bed she had been crying, her eyes red and puffy, she looked up at him as he walked in and gave a small smile, looking back at her daughter. She looked smaller, more fragile. Lucis knew better though, he knew how hardheaded and stubborn this girl was, a small part of him hoped she was stubborn enough to wake herself up. But again he knew better, he knew this was irreversible, she would eventually end up like the others, he had tried so hard.
