No Pain, No Gain
While the doctor did his best to shield me from the chaos, my vision began to blur.
The flashes and the noise had become overwhelming, and I closed my eyes. My bittersweet life was coming to an end.
I had suffered through most of it, but Lumi was my only source of joy. In my haze, I thought I heard her calling for me.
I smiled.
Just before I slipped away completely, Anna's response came through.
"Alright."
That was enough for me. After all, my only wish had always been for Lumi to live the best life possible.
