I found myself near the old ruins again. Not today — not yesterday, but the day before that. I don’t know why I keep going back there. The stones are split, but they still feel like they’re talking to me. Vex was there too, standing by the broken wall, his face shadowed in the fading light. He didn’t say anything, just looked at me like he knew I was coming. I tried to ask him what it was, but my voice felt too loud in the silence. Now the stars are out, and I can’t sleep. My stomach’s still growling, but I’m too tired to move. Maybe I should just stay here and let the dreams take me. Maybe that’s where I belong.
