What Separates Me and You

Seth smiled and straightened up. He reached out a hand to rub Josephine’s head, but she recoiled from him. His hand froze briefly, but he still placed it on her head.

“I’ll be going first, don’t miss me too much.”

She didn’t respond.

He laughed and turned to leave, but he hobbled slightly due to his partially healed leg injury, which wouldn’t be noticeable unless one were to watch him closely.

“Madam?”

“M-Miss Vance.” Conrad quickly corrected himself.

Lewis chuckled coldly. “It would be weird if he didn’t.”

“Huh?”

“Why do you think he’s still in Elysium?”
