The Train that stole our Tommorow. - Chapter 6 – Burn the Past

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtlI2tflvh

The room was silent.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFzj5K9t76

Only the ticking of the old wall clock could be heard.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfS1NYsXXyw

Valindra looked at Methon patiently.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN2dAK3CPA

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnoDddmnmE

Methon remained quiet for a long moment before taking out his wallet.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSveukXbq9

From inside it, he pulled out a slightly folded photograph.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjeejdfhBk

Valindra looked at it.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUbZfDCwRD

A beautiful young woman stood beside Methon, smiling brightly.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0BuQe3U9n

"She?" Valindra asked softly.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhugope2QPQ

Methon nodded.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicMXWrluwQ

"Her name was Ilana."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvtQvkLVoL

"What happened?"

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0ZREyFaAA

He stared at the photograph for several seconds.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpgCyjky60

"I trusted her with everything."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUbHzUDuqc

"My heart."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHjra9VzHw

"My future."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX438xzReIj

"My dreams."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTatmOWfNfY

"But while I was planning our future..."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrkaMsy1Zu

"...she was building another one with someone else."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZyW3FOIbp

Valindra stayed silent.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEANztKlND

Methon continued,

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMkj5vuTxw

"She cheated on me."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOzijgDgvD

"I wasn't enough for her."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoV0NgcCHi

"One day, she simply walked away."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLmOeJB86h

"No explanation."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9iDsyFqPH

"No goodbye."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcgLzm9EuZ

"Nothing."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDBs6c8Egv

He laughed bitterly.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT9dXPjm3X

"After that..."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdxMDtskZ1

"I stopped living."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPZak07UtN

"My company started collapsing."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpmtNmRQtG

"I stopped attending meetings."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAgZSJbqEo

"I stopped sleeping."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDfiD9T8ce

"I stopped smiling."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBDZZwH3e6

"I was alive..."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpCJxi2sgL

"But I wasn't living anymore."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiktryc4cQJ

Valindra looked at him with sympathy.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTVL14XB0d

For the first time since they had met, she didn't joke.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXw43sM03S

She simply listened.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVmIxhEeDE

After a few moments, she held out her hand.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7dburJUoI

"Give me the photo."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nxiOtxMGD

Methon frowned.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9abg71tDAD

"What?"

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscdhLLKQGW

"The photo."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWCujZJsrX

He hesitated before handing it to her.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k8nBlam73

She placed it on the table.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GxtZJgmsc

Then she picked up the candle that was already in the room.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA261K60SB

"What are you doing?"

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnafP3niHHY

She smiled.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV1LPtYm1R

"We're holding a funeral."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNLBuieNH9

"For your past."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1mU3YmBLu

Methon stared at her as if she were crazy.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxqUzdiRlU

"This is ridiculous."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwbzkNDDbG

"I know."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU1eXsTUAf

"It's childish."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlTjBIGA8m

"I know."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lT60X43uY

"It won't change anything."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CBUnl1Q8A

"I know."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr9cTxGGq6

She lit the candle anyway.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEicVp2YrFl

"But sometimes..."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcKHtsiBWL

"Our heart needs a goodbye that our mind never received."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflN8aK2n0X

She gently held the photograph above the flame.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItzk3Uhx0w

Methon quickly stopped her.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo9Dg2Kxnm

"No."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aQBkR1zxC

She looked at him.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBDqq3pR1U

"If you keep holding onto this..."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfq4AeD1qp

"You'll never have room for tomorrow."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1GuQvhSbf

After a long silence...

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOmR1FwNMv

Methon slowly released the photograph.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOnNSMztva

The edges caught fire.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3gvnvyb4o

Within seconds, the picture turned into ashes.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaChHd3KwgN

Valindra collected the ashes in a tissue and handed them to him.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0BnDNBvYK

"Now."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QwQ9aoH0Y

"Flush them away."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAu0SfYq14

Methon looked at her in disbelief.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg98q7dFUc

"You can't be serious."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYBOddsD5s

"I'm completely serious."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY6owRfhQP

He sighed.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39AzFibhJf

"This is the weirdest advice I've ever received."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37TgaYvQUH

She smiled proudly.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG65fY4KVv

"And yet..."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK65w2CA51J

"...you'll do it."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6aelakjnM

A few minutes later, he returned from the bathroom.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQyD4bHrkc

Valindra looked at him expectantly.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNcdIJcI4S

"So?"

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ee9n9JJJ3

Methon took a deep breath.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuMCiVg7V4

"...I don't know why."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF9iYaOX87

"But..."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZUyUo2fUi

"I actually feel a little lighter."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL1xBfDnMF

Valindra smiled.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsUeAACPf5

"I told you."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6nBJwnOKd

"Sometimes healing begins with the smallest goodbye."

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnRpmnwza5

Outside, the wind grew stronger.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12k1ION6UO

Neither of them knew...

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CCPnrFRsV

That before sunrise, their journey together would take another unexpected turn.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2l70NnALv
