A time when the glory that left came back in a simpler form that only a few could understand. Even in the darkness, men still make merry. Even in the light, women still cry.

He was feeding a boiled egg and a slice with his hand, then drank tea and gave medicine. "You have to be fine, I need you right now ..." He got up, patting her face and her eyes were filled with a feeling of helplessness. How long did it take to live in such agony? When did she imagine such a life?

He unceremoniously collapsed to the floor, dejected and embraced by deadly emotions that seemed to want to rip his heart off of his system. A fountain of salty waters snaked across the floor of his cheeks, leaving the bitter taste of melancholy. His face was covered in nothing but redness like he had received excruciating hot slaps.

The man held a photograph, his fingers caressing the glass as if searching for a connection beyond time. The rain outside echoed the melancholy reflected inside. Each drop against the window felt like a sigh of nature, sharing the sadness that weighed down the room. The clock on the wall ticked away relentlessly, marking time that seemed to have no meaning in that moment of mourning. The man, lost in his memories, whispered words that the wind had carried away, a conversation with an emptiness that now seemed greater than he could bear. Grief enveloped him like a shadow, a constant presence that whispered that life had changed forever.

He was a master Echo-Walker, so he grounded himself in his core song and opened his mind to the echo. What he received wasn't a narrative. It was a feeling.
