Sylvia's POV:

As tears continuously flowed down my cheeks, I lay there stunned. I then turned Rufus over and saw the pattern of a winding thorn on his back. It had already gotten very big.

Running my fingers over it, I asked, "Can't you feel it? It's growing here from your waist."

"I... don't feel anything." Rufus shook his head in confusion.

"You should at least be able to see it, then." If he even slightly tilted his head, the pattern on his waist would be clearly visible to him. And when he was taking a shower, he should have been able to notice it then.

After I got out of the bed, I grabbed a mirror for him to take a look for himself. "Well, can you see it now?"

Rufus turned his head around and his brows furrowed in confusion. "I see nothing."

"How could it be..." My stomach churned from the strange feeling when I looked over at the mirror's reflection and saw nothing in it.

I then thought it might be the problem of the mirror. I grabbed another mirror, one that was bigger, and raised it up to Rufus' level. "Can you see it now?"

"No, still nothing." Rufus looked as though he was about to say something but then stopped after thinking it over.
