“It was the end of something, and I know that can feel like the end of everything. That’s what it felt like for me, anyway.” A melancholy smile tips as he studies me, gaze brightening back to jade. “But it doesn’t have to be. We’re all capable of starting over, it’s just a matter of finding that meaning. That little something to look forward to.” I blink up at him, still unsure as to why I came here. But also kind of glad I did. Finally, he finishes, “Even a tragedy can have a happy ending. Sometimes we just need to write it in ourselves.”
