"No survivors?"
"Aurora is dead?"
"No... no, that can't be..."
Severin frantically fumbled with his phone, his fingers trembling as he struggled to unlock the screen for over a minute.
The flight number that should have been soaring through the stratosphere but now floated in the notification bar, followed by the stark red words CRASH.
The man pressed his fingers against the glass, trying to focus, but the cold, hard surface only sent a shiver up his arm, as if it were crystallizing into ice. He realized with a jolt that he was shaking.
He didn't know how he ran out of the hospital or how he ended up at the airport.
The airport in the early morning was packed with people, a cacophony of screams, wails, sobs, and curses filling the air.
"Why... why did the plane crash?"
"My son..."
He pushed his way to the counter with all his might, his voice hoarse as he tried to ask the staff member in front of him, but his mouth opened and closed without a sound emerging.
"Hello, sir. Which victim's family member are you?"
The staff member asked loudly.
The words VICTIM hit him like a sledgehammer, making his ears ring and his vision spin.
Severin's large hand gripped the edge of the counter tightly, his knuckles turning white.
"Aurora... I... I'm her husband."
After a moment, the staff member handed him a piece of paper. "This is the death confirmation of Mrs.Valorian. Please sign here."
A piece of paper with Aurora black-and-white photo was placed in front of him.
He widened his eyes, trying desperately to read the words on the paper, but no matter how much he rubbed his eyes, he couldn't make out a single character.
Panickedly, he grabbed the hand of the person next to him. "Excuse me, can you help me read this?"
"What does it say?"
The person, already furious, turned even more somber when he saw the words on the paper.
"I'm sorry. It says your wife also died in the plane crash."
Instantly, a metallic taste filled Severin's throat.
He stumbled backward until he hit a pillar and slid to the ground, his body losing all strength.
He suddenly heard a whimper escape his throat, like that of a young animal—
A sound so strange and terrifying, as if it came from someone else's chest.
"Ah... ah..."
Everything that followed was like a dream to him.
Amidst the announcements, he, like the other dazed people, signed to collect the belongings—or rather, the ashes that the forensic experts and police had found at Aurora's seat after the crash.
These ashes were solemnly placed in an urn by the forensic experts and, after identification and his signature, were solemnly handed over to him.
Severin walked out like a lifeless puppet, clutching her urn numbly.
Countless staff members along the way looked at him with sorrow, offering condolences and apologies.
But he seemed not to hear them, dragging his feet like they were filled with lead, inching his way out of the airport.
Then,numbly, he started the car and drove home.
When Severin arrived home, he found a group of people waiting at the door.
They were his brothers and Daphne.
"Aurora is dead?"
