The chill that permeated the morgue was a constant reminder of the chasm between the world of the living and the dead.

Standing in the shadows of the entrance, Alyssa and Jasper allowed Landon to say his final farewell to Angelina.

Angelina's lifeless face looked as pretty as ever. Covered with a white cloth, she seemed to be sleeping peacefully with a smile. It was as if she was in the middle of a lovely dream she would never wake up from.

She took a shot to the stomach and fell from a high place. Her bones were crushed upon impact, which felt painful just from the sound of it.

Was she not afraid of the pain, like any ordinary young woman?

"You look pretty when you smile. Why didn't you smile more when you were still around?" Landon mumbled in all seriousness. It was as if he was demanding an answer from the lifeless body before him.
