Chapter 9 Something Hotter Than This

• THIS was the same paradise where I saw Ash. The gigantic trees were swaying in the air as if welcoming my presence. The large water fountain in the middle of the place seemed to move in harmony with the dancing trees, accompanied by the cool breeze that felt like an embrace, easing my feelings.
• To be honest, I don't feel that bad. Maybe my heart has gotten used to it because this isn't the first time it happened to my family... but sometimes, my heart hurts because it feels so numb.
• I can't feel anything and it frustrates me. I want to feel something, but I can't tolerate pain, like a broken flower vase held together by glue and tape.
