“Yuki! Stay with me!” Rowan sobbed, rushing over to her friend and hugging her close.
I can’t believe this is how it ends… It can’t end like this! I’m no good on my own! I’ve lost everyone! There’s no point if going on if Yuki’s not there! If Armand’s not there! If… If everyone I care about is gone…
And suddenly through her stream of violent thoughts, Rowan realized, although not completely, why Yuki acted the way she did. Why she refused be happy. Why she was so deeply broken. She cried, for the war, for Yuki, and for the dark road ahead she’d have to face alone for the first time in her life.
