But still, even with the reality of the world returned to her, she chose to ignore any and each of the words that were co out of Diana's mouth as she let out a… chuckle

"I… truly am sorry, Alice And I… I'm always here if you need to find me"
"I don't"
And with those words, Diana disappeared fro world finally cal silence, however, completely faded away as a cry whispered to Alice's ears
"Riley!" Alice quickly rushed towards Riley, leaping over the bed as she gently lifted him up from the crib, "It's okay… it's okay, don't cry…"
"Don't… don't cry," Alice whispered as she cradled Riley; her breaths, stuttering alht… don't… don't cry"
