The Train that stole our Tommorow. - Chapter 6 – Burn the Past

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZpGJAncuK

The room was silent.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzcuHsPb6O

Only the ticking of the old wall clock could be heard.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FFOdId5aO

Valindra looked at Methon patiently.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQYCsbEYaw

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiJyHIjJVW

Methon remained quiet for a long moment before taking out his wallet.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Sdoi7zxrv

From inside it, he pulled out a slightly folded photograph.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCEC2IGoaL

Valindra looked at it.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3SY3ztV8J

A beautiful young woman stood beside Methon, smiling brightly.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3guZAfvYw0

"She?" Valindra asked softly.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9tirJlzKZ

Methon nodded.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQk1QoXzuC

"Her name was Ilana."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx025Pr6AW

"What happened?"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQmu9xIo4d

He stared at the photograph for several seconds.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve0rPQYz5N

"I trusted her with everything."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpLV1Nr5Uv

"My heart."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHifzD8ctDb

"My future."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JkDBUmTre

"My dreams."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezr19uG47c

"But while I was planning our future..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDeUkLpoAH

"...she was building another one with someone else."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4sr58NBoL

Valindra stayed silent.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbus738aYnw

Methon continued,

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87Jx9B3YuZ

"She cheated on me."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFD07NrQIZ

"I wasn't enough for her."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xUcC0dShK

"One day, she simply walked away."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhNvoAZ5UA

"No explanation."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKavzHTEUAD

"No goodbye."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3dAZ58isL

"Nothing."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkqNlpNLkN

He laughed bitterly.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1DxITCB3R

"After that..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QdtvbdxGr

"I stopped living."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlm2Bu9dKZ

"My company started collapsing."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8kSMK955K

"I stopped attending meetings."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bzmKhsfBs

"I stopped sleeping."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxYZ0KIMeb

"I stopped smiling."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0Ya5N47Va

"I was alive..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT8SSpMDNT

"But I wasn't living anymore."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz8ltw6K4V

Valindra looked at him with sympathy.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpth6CeUYMD

For the first time since they had met, she didn't joke.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvIxkjR6cz

She simply listened.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs421cwTsPr

After a few moments, she held out her hand.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cWOkETKsC

"Give me the photo."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2edxWNATy

Methon frowned.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eFwHUFwLI

"What?"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4vF1B6xQz

"The photo."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pziZlEFU4

He hesitated before handing it to her.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qMI1SsR9s

She placed it on the table.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqUkraGbkY

Then she picked up the candle that was already in the room.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLYWZXvhe0

"What are you doing?"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL1W2MvWEe

She smiled.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYr8mk3ddz

"We're holding a funeral."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEaYFYOmAX

"For your past."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuNK0NJYkS

Methon stared at her as if she were crazy.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Nss9UcsCb

"This is ridiculous."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmxHRaUH18

"I know."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aHDLHudUn

"It's childish."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXYBb4Xhv8

"I know."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbLodXzvgK

"It won't change anything."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknFW0VfTyg

"I know."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20AopDRPLu

She lit the candle anyway.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6FybGspJ5

"But sometimes..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN87CwoJy5

"Our heart needs a goodbye that our mind never received."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6iXsDqpHu

She gently held the photograph above the flame.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesD7gqqLdI

Methon quickly stopped her.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIdMkG17Db

"No."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l5wU2SO7f

She looked at him.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGDeNQcjQo

"If you keep holding onto this..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoOzmIuj4P

"You'll never have room for tomorrow."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6Do5YKhQY

After a long silence...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppcq6jeKzd

Methon slowly released the photograph.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNy0OuMZDW

The edges caught fire.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczbRDoI4qj

Within seconds, the picture turned into ashes.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF4yjluY4I

Valindra collected the ashes in a tissue and handed them to him.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYJ7JpmgYZ

"Now."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz5KKpOX3D

"Flush them away."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSpE6iPNWh

Methon looked at her in disbelief.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUj1BR88Mt

"You can't be serious."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti2OU4McJL

"I'm completely serious."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRL0j9Jm8v

He sighed.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkjchEu9mX

"This is the weirdest advice I've ever received."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8Xz1Kg4Ap

She smiled proudly.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt1f8jah6G

"And yet..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m0B9yNWu9

"...you'll do it."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgOBUesRSF

A few minutes later, he returned from the bathroom.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5oF26x0ga

Valindra looked at him expectantly.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTyGMqCtcA

"So?"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR6Yla3Z51

Methon took a deep breath.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoXtkTGqjx

"...I don't know why."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWduUUa4E60

"But..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARUi8vBQQu

"I actually feel a little lighter."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qcB97yejh

Valindra smiled.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs9XI8XoEg

"I told you."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAGH6N4LoC

"Sometimes healing begins with the smallest goodbye."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd3qFFKf8r

Outside, the wind grew stronger.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBpk6c0MqS

Neither of them knew...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6xiW9iUgu

That before sunrise, their journey together would take another unexpected turn.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBEi0jiP4m
