As I became more empathetic, I no longer blamed others for my suffering. Slowly, my business began to flourish. The soul swap was perhaps a gift from the heavens.

In the silence, broken only by the soft sounds of sniffles, we found solace in each other's presence, a fragile thread of strength woven through the fabric of grief. As the night wore on, Chassy, Ethan, and I navigated the difficult path of mourning. My son shared stories of Sena, laughed through tears at the memories, and clung to the love that would endure even in her absence. My office became a sanctuary for our collective grief, a space where the echoes of Sena's spirit lingered, a bittersweet reminder of the profound impact she had even on my son’s life.

She sat with him in the October light and she talked about the days in the way she had talked about the days when he was alive—not performing the talking, simply telling him what had happened and what she had thought and what she was looking forward to. It was not sad. She had expected it to remain sad. It had changed. The grief had shifted into the shape it took after enough time—present, integrated, no longer the acute weight of the early years. The visits were companionship continued in the only form available. She was glad for the form. In the fourth month of retirement, she was sitting on the east yard bench in the early evening—the bench her mother had sat on and that she had sat on fo

So this was what grief at its extreme felt like—so deep and all-consuming that not a single tear would come. People around me were talking, but I couldn't hear any of it. All I could do was hold on to my mother, because it felt like the moment I let go, my soul would die with her. I numbly finished all the procedures, sent her body to be cremated, then carried the cold urn of ashes back to that disgusting estate. I gently stroked the urn, my voice as soft as a sigh. "Mom, I'm taking you away from here." I quickly packed what few belongings I had and left a signed declaration on the table, formally dissolving my engagement with Giuliano.

Five years after my younger brother Luca and my fiancée Elena were killed in an ambush, I arranged my own burial at sea. I was pressing the engraved nameplate onto my custom urn when my father, Don Salvatore Leo, walked into the room with a cigar between his lips. "Antonio, you don't need to go to the docks to mourn them this year. They're not dead." My fingers went white around the nameplate. Then the hidden door in the safe room opened from the inside. Luca walked out with Elena in his arms, casually spinning the emerald ring I had once given her around his finger. "I won the bet," he said, lazy about it. "I told you we could live right next door to him for five years and he'd never

But then again if I knew each and everyone I’m sure my heart would break even more. I pick up Aref, cradling her in my hand. The wolf is sad, much as you would expect when they find theirselves back in my pool. “I’m sorry Aref, so very sorry for your early retirement. But not to worry, I’ll find you another soul, and soon. I promise.” The little soul curls in my palm, it’s sorrow clear to see and I remain cradling it. Trying to give reassurance. Only when it seems to be sleeping, laying still and unmoving do I lay it to rest.

Logan laughed candidly, "She's not sick. She's simply affected by a deathly aura. It's causing her biological system to malfunction." Dijkstra was even more baffled now. "Uh, you're going to have to elaborate." Logan explained coolly, "That cemetery must have a concentrated amount of deathly aura, while Greta here is sensitive to it. Her soul's likely damaged from going through it… or rather, a fragment of her soul has been left there. "The body needs the entirety of the soul to function. The piece she left there must have been correlated to her cognition. With it gone, she reverts into the state she is now… vegetative. The cemetery must have sucked away that fragment of her soul."

All her fans promptly cried. Quinn laughed, waving them off. "Well, now you know why I'm retiring so early—I refuse to let you brats belittle me because I get older… Now that we got that out of the way, I'll be honest: I don't think just staying together forever is meaningful. "See, it's when you dedicate heart and soul to your relationship and leave no regrets that matters, no matter how long the relationship has been.
