Observing my distress, my mother’s expression softened with concern.

“Caleb, could it be that your grief has overwhelmed you, clouding your judgment? Should I fetch the doctor?”

“No!” I refused vehemently.

“I’m just tired.

Rest will set me right.

“But…” She tried to say something.

I cut her off.

“Mom, I’m really fine.

I’m not sad.

I’m just exhausted and need some time alone.

“Very well then,” she relented, casting one last worried glance my way before departing.

I was left alone in the silence.

Sprawled on the bed, I mulled over memories of Debra; her face, the moment she disappeared into the rift, our shared trials.

Yet, despite it all, my emotions remained eerily flat.

I began to doubt myself.

Had my love for Debra truly vanished?

Could emotions fade so swiftly?

Seeking answers, I asked Damien, “What are your thoughts?”

Damien pondered briefly before responding, “I feel the same emptiness.

Despite Debra being our mate, the excitement isn’t there Like before.

He confessed with a hint of guilt, “Caleb, it’s as if we’ve become heartless.

Detached.

I remained silent, lost in thought.

Debra’s POV:

The sky had split open, swallowing me whole, and in its wake, darkness enveloped my senses, pulling me into a coma.

Within this shadowed sleep, my mind churned in tumult, unable to discern up from down.

Suddenly, a sharp, inexplicable pain seized my stomach, jolting my nerves awake.

Amidst the chaos, a sliver of lucidity flickered.

“Debra? Debra! Debra, wake up!”

Ivy’s voice, laced with urgency, cut through the fog in my mind.

Feeling Like I was being dragged from the abyss of a deep ocean, I clung to her call.

The darkness receded marginally as I was pulled towards the surface by an unseen force.

Blinking open my heavy lids, I was greeted by an unfamiliar scene.

Wild weeds and unruly trees surrounded me, giving way to a neglected path carpeted with fallen leaves and mud.
