After a brief pause, Ayden continued, "Rumor has it, Skyler was found under Zavier, spitting blood. Now, Zavier's completely lost it, clinging onto her lifeless body."
Marcus once warned Zavier not to do something he'd regret, but Zavier didn't listen, hence the tragedy, "You better leave now."
Ayden replied, "Alright."
After Ayden left, Cornelia moved closer to Marcus, "It's getting late, let's head home."
She didn't ask what Ayden and Marcus were talking about. If he could discuss it, Marcus would surely tell her.
Cornelia took the initiative to hold Marcus' hand, gripping it tightly as if she could feel his heartbeat, "The moon is so round tonight. Is it almost full?"
Marcus replied, "It was full last night."
Cornelia said, "Okay."
Their hands intertwined, they slowly walked home. After a while, Marcus stopped, "Cornelia, something happened to Skyler."
Cornelia felt a pang in her heart, "What happened?"
Marcus replied, "Skyler committed suicide by poisoning."
Cornelia was stunned for a while, her mind went blank. Just a few hours ago, Skyler was able to smile at her. She could hold Skyler, and feel Skyler's warmth.
How much time had passed?
She just went home, then went out to watch a movie, and now they were telling her Skyler was dead.
