His brain says let it go, sell it. His heart says no.
His heart says no.”

“Terra read the words aloud: “If I’m one day gone, you’ll know it’s here that I go. Into the black darkness that has become my foe. No one will look and no one will ever find.

You can just barely see that they were words but I can’t make them out well enough to read.”
― Misty Mount, The Shadow Girl
