Chapter 31: Turning point

*Five years ago...*

"Unlike your parents, he would never leave, he'll always love you. All he wants is for you to love him back." Akhenaten felt her kiss him on his forehead her tears falling on his cheek.

He wanted that love she spoke about, a love that endured. A love that would never leave.

He felt her arms wrap tightly around him as she buried her face in his neck crying softly.

He let out a soft breath feeling sleepy.

"I'd like that," he whispered.

He felt his eyes close a little bit more. He felt her arms tighten around him.

He loved her so much.

He had to tell her, he had to tell her before he...

He wanted to hold her but he was too weak.

"I—" he let out in a soft breath his eyes closed-and his heart stopped beating.

Akhenaten saw himself outside his body. He looked down at his hands, he could see through them.

It was different from when he astral projected.
