Aaushi+ continued, ”This young lady, however, chose to return to the cage that she left, where her parents lost their lives, in order to free the other birds stuck in hereShe chose death over turning a blind eye to the rest of the peopleThat is so I would never understand” Aaushi+'s voice seemed so distant…so cold
”Then why save her?” Eric asked
”Because I don't understand itBecause I would never be able to understand itBecause unlike her, I was never truly alive” Aaushi+ stopped talking and silence ensued over the crater againAfter drawing in some air, she continued to speak

”It's the sole cultivation technique that our fa with the pain”Please, tell her not to dwell over domAnd tell her that her parents' last words to Gazef were 'I love you, Ellie'”
Just as she finished those words, Aaushi+ dropped down to the ground with a s from all over her bodyNext to her now dead body, Ellie's eyes opened up as she coughed a mouthful of bloodNoticing that soed his worn out body and rushed to herHe descended down a crater that was created fro body, he felt a pain in his heartIt felt like soripped it to the point where it became numbSmall, yet countless, beads of cold sweat filled his entire bodyHis clothes beca but stare at her with his htly openedThis is not the tihts that flooded hisEric did was to infuse her body with QIHowever, the QI didnt remain in her body and left it as soon as it entered itEric felt like he was trying to catch rain with a punctured potIs this what Ed felt…?
