"I forgot about Torak," Raine said honestly. "Because when I don't have to face all the bad things that have happened to me, I will not meet him at the time that was meant to be for me to find him. Everything changed."
Hope felt pensive hearing that.
"Time is crucial and we shouldn't play around with it, but regardless, I don't have the strength to do what you want." Raine took Hope's hand. "Those who leave, do have a reason why they should go and we shouldn't dwell on the past."
Raine then pulled Hope into her arms, lending the guardian angel her shoulder to cry her heart out.
They were of the same age, but Raine was much more understanding and calmer than Hope, because of all the life experiences she had gone through.
"Hope, we still have things to do and we have to prepare ourselves for that," Raine said softly into Hope's ear, reminding her of their ultimate goal for being revived.
