Lilith's POV
Bastian... he'll be fine, right? Yes, Bastian will be fine.
I tried opening my heavy lids, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't.
What's happening? Did I fall sick or something? No. I need to wake up. I need to stand up and check on Bastian. I need to remind him not to die on me.
Foolish Lilith, foolish Lilith. You caused this. It's all your fault. You should have paid more attention to him. You should have checked up on him even after you left New York.
If anything happens to Bastian, you are to blame.
Guilt, shame, and hurt rushed through me. To think I've been making life difficult for Bastian...
Jesus. What have I done? Why did I let my desires control me?
No. First things first, I need to get up from this bed.
The smell of antiseptic hits
