My Son! [Bonus]

Jake could feel himself falling from the skies. He was a bit surprised, but his reaction was different from what one might expect. 

Sadness. 

Not fear, not anger, just sadness. And it wasn't even for the sake of himself. 

He had wanted to hold on for the sake of his parents. They had already lost so much ever since this Summoning began; he didn't want them to lose anything more. But he also saw how much they suffered trying to keep him safe. 

Maybe it was a good thing if he died now. They would feel some pain for now, but then they would eventually get over it. They still had each other, and the fact this was a dangerous world meant that they would have no choice but to continue relying on one another even if their marriage was strained. 

With their Twin Moon Healer Class, they would be tied together until they died. At least he didn't have to worry about becoming the impetus for his parents' divorce.
