Marat can be so incredibly stubborn. Why do they keep showing me Val and me together? And they were sneaky about it too, slipping the vision in without warning.
I was feeling a sense of calm during my meditation. Marat most often is a reassuring presence. They showed me villagers praising me and my companions for saving them from undead creations. I didn't always see all my companions, but I caught occasional glimpses. Adrala was there smiling from ear to ear, the Stoner brothers looking older but still Israel and Elisha, Val…
Wait what?!
Someone I don't know standing next to a slightly older-looking Adrala…
Seeing Val caught me off guard and I lost the vision.
Alright Marat I accept that he may return to me one day. Will you stop torturing me with visions of him? It only makes me miss him more. I miss him in the weirdest way. It's like in the short time we knew each other we formed a bond that goes beyond the natural.
I think I understand what you're trying to tell me, Marat. I can and will stand on my own when necessary, something I've always done especially after the fire. And I won't always be alone, I have companions who I can count on and who will stand by me. And in some supernatural way, Val and I are now connected. There will be many opportunities throughout our lives to find and see each other depending on the choices we make and the paths we take.
