Chapter 1006

"Ugh-!"

Thaddeus let out a groan of agony, finally collapsing to his knees under the unbearable weight. It wasn't the kind of pain that comes from cuts and bruises. No, this was like being slowly ground down with a dull knife, a relentless pressure that made a swift end seem merciful by comparison.

Images, both chaotic and vivid, flashed through his mind like a black-and-white film played in reverse. He saw so many people retreating, leaving him behind. His father, his mother, his grandfather, Jareth, Marilla, his older brother, Elvis.

He reached out desperately, hoping to catch hold of any of them, just one. But his hands grasped at nothing, as he watched helplessly while his family and friends turned away.

The final image lingered on Evadne's beautiful face. "Evadne, don't go," he cried, rushing forward to embrace her with all the strength he could muster. But in the next moment, she dissolved into golden dust in his arms, scattering into the cold air.

"No!"

Finally, a beep echoed in Thaddeus's ears, a sound like everything resetting to zero. Darkness enveloped him, and he lost consciousness as he crumpled to the ground.

The world fell silent.

Avery stood rigidly, staring at the man lying motionless on the ground, overwhelmed by a sense of devastation.
