That night, I dreamt of Lucas.
He stood by the turbulent sea, his eyes filled with sadness and despair.
My heart was clenched painfully. I instinctively rushed toward him, wanting to pull him back—
But I was one step too late.
He jumped into the pitch-black sea.
His body was so thin, light as a bird returning to its nest, diving into his cold, damp, and lonely refuge.
Fate had not been kind to him.
His childhood, pushed into that house filled with malicious laughter by his mother, had led to adoption by my family, but all he received were scars.
He was tired, weary, and leapt into the pitch-black sea.
He died without ever receiving his redemption.
I crouched on the ground, hugging my head and crying bitterly.
In the end, it was Lucas who shook me awake, his beautiful eyes filled with worry.
"Seraphine, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
I immediately hugged him, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Seraphine, I'm here. Don't be afraid."
He softly called to me, gently patting my back.
I quickly told him: "Lucas, I'm always by your side."
I touched his brow, telling him very seriously.
"I've always been here, I won't leave. Please believe me."
"Mm."
He nodded slightly: "I believe you."
If I hadn't come, the person before me would have ended up in the cold, bone-chilling sea...
I held him tight, not daring to think too deeply.
