Helia's heart was shattered into a million pieces as she watched Rio disappear into the swarm of crows.

She had lost the boy, the only person who had shown her kindness and understanding in this cruel world even when she was not nice to him. Tears streamed down her face, blurring her vision as she stumbled onto the ground.

As she struggled to catch her breath, a faint smile from Rio flashed in her mind, reminding her of the good times they had shared together even if they had a bitter foundation. The memory of his smile only intensified the pain she felt in her chest.

"Riooooo!!"

As she knelt on the ground, Helia's cries reverberated through the forest, a mournful sound that seemed to pierce the very heart of the darkness surrounding her. Her tears flowed like a river, streaming down her face and mixing with the dirt on the ground as she pounded it with her fists as if trying to break through to reduce the pain she was feeling in her wounded heart.

Her sobs wracked her body, causing her to tremble uncontrollably as she cried out his name again and again. It was a sound that was painful to hear, a deep, guttural sound that spoke of a pain that was too great to bear. 𝘧𝔯𝙚𝐞𝘄ℯ𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝐞𝑙. c𝑜m

As she knelt there, her body racked with grief, the trees around her seemed to take on a life of their own. The branches twisted and contorted, reaching out to her as if in sympathy, while the shadows danced and flickered around her like ghosts.

For Helia, it felt as though the world had ended, as though everything she had ever known had been ripped away from her in an instant. And as her cries continued to echo through the forest, it seemed as though the darkness itself was mourning with her.

It seemed as though the forest was a reflection of her inner turmoil, with twisted trees and eerie shadows that matched her wails perfectly. She felt as though she had lost everything and her cries continued long after the crows on the trees had settled in to watch her mourn.

The spatial rift had already closed, leaving Helia alone with her grief on the island of the dead soul. She didn't even care to find a way out as her heart was heavy with the loss of the crimson-haired boy.

After many heart-wrenching cries passed...

Helia sat on the ground, her body shaking with sobs as she hugged herself tightly. She felt lost and alone, abandoned by the world, and left to navigate the darkness on her own.

The eerie stillness of the island of the dead soul only amplified her mournful cries.

The memory of his promise to make her regret her actions on their first day together replayed in her mind again and again, as she realized this was the fulfillment of his words and she couldn't help but wonder if she had lost him forever.

Her mind raced with thoughts of what could have been done differently, but it was too late now. The spatial rift had closed and Rio was gone. She couldn't bear the thought of never seeing him again, of never being able to apologize and make things right between them.

The silence was broken only by the sound of her sobs, and she wondered if she would ever be able to stop crying for Rio.

However, soon she stood up hastily as her heart raced and she sprinted towards the spot where the spatial portal had been. She had a vague memory of the path that lead to the island of the dead souls' inner sanctum, and she hoped that she would be able to find a way to reach it. As she approached the area, her eyes scanned the surroundings with her desperate gaze, but she couldn't see the portal or the massive tree anywhere.

Panic set in as she realized that the portal had vanished without a trace. It was as if it had never existed at all.

Her body collapsed to the ground, trembling with fear and despair. As she gazed into nothingness, tears welled up in her red eyes, feeling like a part of herself had been lost. Memories of her time with Rio flooded her mind, and she couldn't hold back the barrage of tears any longer.

In her mind, she whispered, "Rio, forgive me."

The unexpected turn of events had shattered the girl completely. She never imagined that her stubbornness to meet her brother's soul would result in the loss of yet another person. If she had known that Rio would be in danger, she would have never ventured to that place.

She had thought that the boy wasn't following her, but to her surprise, she had found him in the inner sanctum of the island of the dead souls.

As she sat there, lost in her grief, memories of their playful bickering replayed in her mind. She remembered the way Rio would tease her, and how she would stubbornly find every single chance to bite him back. It all seemed so trivial now, in the face of the overwhelming loss she was feeling. She cried even harder, her sobs booming through the eerie island of dead souls.

***

A few hours ago...

Lia couldn't shake the ominous feeling that something bad might happen to Rio, so she wanted him to stay by her side. But Rio had already left without telling her, leaving her confused, anxious, and in sorrow.

Lia didn't know how to explain her reasoning to him, as she hadn't had any nightmares this time, but she still had a bad feeling.

As soon as Lia confirmed that Rio had set off on his adventure, she couldn't contain her emotions anymore. Tears streamed down her face as she feared losing him forever. The thought of losing the one she loved most was too much to bear, and her sobs resounded through the empty room.
