Your POV

Almost a week has passed since the explosion, and Aphmau hasn't been getting better. We've been trying to help her... and, by we, I mean Vylad, Dante, Katelyn, her sons, and I. Garroth has been trying to comprehend all that's happened while trying to rebuild old memories. He hasn't visited her once, but that's understandable considering the fact that this is practically his fault.

Meanwhile, Owl is... well... she's been worrying about Laurance lately. I have no idea what's going on with him. She said that he's been acting distant for a while now. He never wants to talk to her anymore - or anyone for that matter. Vylad has been keeping an eye on him. He told me he thinks it's a Shadow Knight problem... I'm just as worried as I am for him, as I am for Aphmau.

In short, life in Phoenix Drop has not been okay.

I sigh, laying against a tree watching the sunrise from the Irene Statue. Since the sun's rising, it came from the opposite way as the ocean, overlooking Phoenix Drop itself.

The view is beautiful... but it could be better if Vylad was here with me.

I don't know where he is at the moment. That's actually another problem - Vylad hasn't been telling me where he's going recently. I honestly feel like he's keeping secrets from me. I'd expect him to tell me things now that we're a couple, but that hasn't been the case. I shouldn't blame him, though. I am his first girlfriend, after all.

Suddenly, I notice a mob of dark brown hair coming towards me. I sit up, smiling, hoping it's Vylad, but when I realize who it really is, I lay back down.

"What are you doing here, Alec?" I ask, but it came out extremely harsh.

He steps back in surprise. "And here I was, thinking you would be happy to see me..." The ex-bandit sits down beside me. "What's up?"

"I... I honestly don't know. Everything's been so hectic, lately. Aphmau has locked herself in her old house, Laurance has been acting weird, I feel as if my own boyfriend is keeping secrets from me, and I'm still trying to comprehend that Zane is dead!" I sigh, pulling my knees to my chest. "This is not okay..."

Alec pats my back, comforting me. "It's going to be. I promise it's going to be okay. Just think happy thoughts, alright?" He then grins at me. "Hey, remember that winter back when we were still at the bandit camp? Zeel was oversleeping so you, me, and Owl snuck out to go play in the snow."
