Evetiti couldn't imagine you leaving this world so early, but what price had been paid for it? The cost of countless lives. You risked everything, and the risk proved worth it, but not for Evetiti. He considered it selfish, because... He didn't want to lose you. Not like this, not at that moment.
Evetiti entered your room. It was now completely empty and silent. He no longer heard your laughter. He could no longer see your sincere and kind eyes. Life in Ebis seemed to have become even quieter and colder. Only your room warmed his soul. Memories of childhood and service to Mehmes floated through his mind.
Evetiti convinced everyone that your room should be left untouched, so that it would remain as a memory of an outstanding person, a wonderful friend, and...
His gaze fell on something glittering. It was an unfamiliar stone, the likes of which he'd never seen before. Where did you get it?
Evetiti turned the stone thoughtfully in his hands, trying to discern its hidden meaning. It was you, after all. Everything had been carefully planned. Perhaps you left a letter or some kind of memento. Or perhaps this stone itself was that very memento? In that case, he would keep it.
It was already late in the night. The day had been long, and he should have rested.
But even sleep brought him no relief. He tossed and turned, trying to find a comfortable position, his gaze fixed on the ceiling. But it was all in vain.
Evetiti couldn't forget your pale body, but your smile etched on your face... Why?! Why you?!
The cunning fox shook with anger and sadness. He couldn't accept the situation... Not now.
His violet eyes were fixed on the small stone. There was no longer the joy they once held, and his face was emptiness.
Evetiti's eyelids began to slowly droop, and a single thought flashed through his mind: "I want to see him again."
Silence...
What were those strange sounds? Was someone screaming?
Evetiti's eyes instantly widened. What strange world surrounded him?! These tall buildings, these people in unusual clothing—where was he?! Had he been kidnapped?!
Evetiti's long red hair fluttered in the wind, attracting the people's attention. They watched him in surprise, as if he had appeared out of nowhere.
As he brushed his hair back, his gaze fell upon a familiar figure. Evetiti instantly grabbed his hand... He couldn't be mistaken...
When he looked more closely, he saw... You? No... Not quite. It was your eyes, the same hairstyle, but why were you dressed so strangely? Why were you looking at him so strangely...?
