Because of my fragile health, my best friend, Eva, kept me on a tight leash growing up. She always told me, "Leah, you can't take risks."

She stared at him suspiciously and carved her brows at him. “Where is Zach?” she asked first. “You were there last night. It all happened so sudden and it pains me to say this.” Zane cried "There's no easy way to say this, but... Zach is dead."

Although I can’t read his expression, I will just make do with the fact that he’s unhappy. “Zachili prefers his corpse be burnt, and his ashes scattered.
