Jason reached out and stroked little Agiel's head when she said this, and little Agiel pressed her head against Jason's hand with a content smile on her face as Jason spoke.
"Of course you'll see me again. I promise."
Agiel smiled, and she jumped forward and gave Jason a deep hug! Jason held her close as she buried her face in his neck, and Jason watched as she slowly vanished into a spray of silver dust that scattered into the air. Jason felt a sadness take root in his heart as he watched the little girl leave, but Jason knew that this was not the true Agiel. This was just a fragment of Agiel's mind that had been formed from her memories, so there was no need for Jason to feel sad!
Jason stood, and he tested the door in front of him. The handle shifted once Jason touched it, and Jason let out a calm breath before Jason pushed it open and entered!
