"The voices said the blood they injected into me belonged to an higher life form greater than the celestials... What even is a celestial?
And is the blood supposed to make me feel… ashy?"
"The voices gave me this thing to help with the rusted feeling in my throat.
That means they care about me… right?"
"They keep saying if the results of the experiment done on me got out, it would revolutionize the entire world. No one must know, they said… Did they not see me standing right there?"
"The next experiment might end my life, they said... don't they know I'm immortal?"
"Who's the clan head? Why do they need his permission to keep hurting me?"
"Why did Aunt Keede say she'd ruin my mother and make sure I die here…
Doesn't she know I have ears and can hear?"
"Mother… I have to save Mother.
But how?"
****
Just one word, the last spoken by that younger Zephyr.
"Why?"
It echoed like a stone dropped into an endless well, not in protest, not in anger, just… confusion.
