TRISTAN No… No, no, no! She was so close to me, and then… Then she was gone. In a way, it was relieving to know she had gotten her memories back. It was obvious she could use her powers again, so I wouldn’t have to be worried about her safety anymore. But on the other hand… I should have expected this to happen from the beginning. Of course, my dream of her simply taking me back was nothing but a wishful - innocent, even - thought. There was no way in hell she would forgive me that easily, especially when she’d never agreed to my decision to begin with. The emotional shock prevented me from moving. I remained there alone, kneeling on the picnic blanket underneath the sun. My face burned when I touched the spot where she’d hit me. She had used such strength, I had felt all her anger
