Luna had a very long nightmare.
In her dream, Joshua was kneeling in front of her, covered entirely in blood and apologizing profusely.
She turned around with tears streaming down her face.
To her surprise, the late Granny Lynch was standing right behind her. She took out the knife that had been stuck in her chest and slowly made her way to Luna.
All of a sudden, a cold, malicious expression crept across Granny's face as she snapped, "What did you promise me, Luna?
"You promised me that no matter what happened, you’d never give up on Joshua! How long has it been since I told you this? You've forgotten this!"
Luna clutched her chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. "Granny, I never forgot what I promised you... I didn't give up on him at all! He gave up on me!
"He gave up on me first!"
"Granny-!"
All of a sudden, Luna was awake.
"Did you have a bad dream?” Malcolm's low voice rang out next to her.
Luna froze for a moment, then turned in the direction of the voice.
Malcolm was sitting in his wheelchair next to the window, staring out at the sky beyond.
Seeing that she was staring at him, he turned and said with a sad expression, "Just now, while you were sleeping, you kept calling Joshua’s name."
