With that, she walked away with grace
Byran, whose friend request was
promptly denied, looked disgruntled. He followed Ellinor stubbornly, clearly not willing to let it go.

Ellinor glanced at him, âNo longer with us? She passed away?"
Byran shook his head, looking a little down, âI'm not sure! I never met Pearl, they say she disappeared \

Realizing shed touched a sore spot, Ellinor frowned slightly, âSorry, I shouldn't have asked thatâ
Byrans mood swings were quick, the sadness on his face vanished in an instant, he said
