An Unfulfilling Reunion

"It's… Cleare…" She said hesitantly, that name making me feel as if the world was crumbling before me.

How?

Why?

It doesn't make any sense. It can't be real…

As I stared at the woman before me, who looked like a younger, more vibrant version of The Seer I had met in Misthaven, I couldn't suppress the wave of emotions that surged through me.

Somehow, my mind finally worked enough to process it instantly who someone was, and made a dam within me broke out, which I didn't even know existed.

Fwish—

"Huh?!"

I reached out and hugged her tightly, holding back my tears. 

"I'm so sorry, Cleare," I whispered, my voice filled with remorse. "I'm sorry for breaking my promise and disappearing on you." I started from the moment I had first met with Cleare and gave that promise to her.
