Sebastian and Melanie sat together on a tall building, watching the city. This city used to be their home, but it had changed so much. They had been gone for a long time, and the city had changed hands several times already. Many of the people living in this city probably still belonged to their lineage, but at this point, it was impossible to tell. They no longer knew whose ancestors had been part of their family.
They didn't know for how long they'd been sitting here. They only knew that it had been years. For years, they had just been sitting here, enjoying each other's company.
"Alright," Melanie suddenly said, standing up. "Don't you think it's about time?"
Sebastian just smiled at her. "Can't we have a bit more time?"
"Can we?" Melanie asked, a hint of reproach in her voice. "Your aura is already showing signs of instability. If you wait any longer, you might not be able to finish your Refined Law anymore. When you approach natural death, your focus wanes."
