The entire world turned dark.
Not the kind of dark after lights go out. Not the kind of dark on a moonless night. It was kind of darkness where light had never existed in the first place.
Yet, I could see Luc. Clearly.
I looked down and there was Bada, still bleeding to death - and I could see my own hands too. They looked pale, and covered in the little girl's blood.
Scanning around, I saw that Cain and Abe were still there too.
But nothing and no one else was around anymore.
It was as if we were in galactic space with no stars or planets. It felt like the time before the universe existed, or the time after the universe vanished.
Our bodies did not float, but rested on the invisible floor of gravity that spread out from Luc's feet.
"How-, what is this?"
I asked but Luc did not answer.
Her eyes contained - and emitted - suffocating darkness, yet somehow, I could sense infinite sadness in them as she looked down at me.
