"Life Mana"
"Yes, Mom."
The voice of Mia shook as she spoke, her eyes switching between Leon and the white figure in bed. The weak body of Cassidy resembled something so delicate that a gentle gust of wind would break it, but fire burned in her tired eyes.
"And… how is this man going to cure me?" Cassidy's voice broke, weak but firm enough to ask the question.
Mia swallowed hard. The words caught in her throat like barbs. "He… he can heal you, Mom. But—" Her voice quivered, and she needed to close her eyes for bracing herself. "But he has to use his body and… you have to do things…" Her face burned hot with a deep red color. "I promise it's true. I experienced it. After being with him… my body became strong, the frailness disappeared. I'm telling the truth, Mom."
The silence that followed was like a wall coming down on them.
