Garrett lowered his gaze, quietly reflecting. His face carried a faraway look, touched with a thin layer of melancholy.
Seeing him like this made Rachel uneasy.
Once, they had endured hardships together here, sharing life and death. Back then, those two small figures had been like comrades, inseparable.

"Do you know what it feels like to miss someone?" Garrett's cold voice suddenly broke the silence of the vast mountain forest.
Rachel froze for a moment.
But it seemed Garrett wasn't waiting for an answer.
He went on speaking, almost to himself. "Missing someone means that person is etched into your mind, locked deep in your heart, and no matter what, you think about them all the time."
