21. SASARAI: LONELY
"Where's Luc?"
Sasarai asked every person at the Crystal Palace this question over and over again. Every time, he got the same answer: They don't know, they're looking for him, they'll find him, they promise. It wasn't reassuring in the least, but it was something.
When he was back in his room, Sasarai climbed onto his bed and grabbed the picture he and Luc had drawn yesterday. It was a picture of the two of them holding hands in a flower field. Under the drawing was written "Luc and Sasarai."
No matter how much he had taken his brother for granted, with Luc gone, Sasarai felt truly lonely.
