Lily Donovan didn't quite understand what Ian Donovan was saying.
Ever since Nina Donovan had saved him on Mount Feron, he had been like a completely different person.
He rarely spoke, spending his days in a gloomy, sullen state that made it hard for anyone to get close to him.
As Lily Donovan looked at Ian Donovan now, she noticed a new light in his once-listless eyes.
But she still didn't understand what he was talking about—these "world rules," "countless endings," "shackles," and "strangeness."
She sighed. "After we lay Nina to rest, you should come with Mom, Dad, and me to Valengard. There's no reason for us to stay in Aldoria anymore."
Ian Donovan didn't object. "Okay. I have one more request—I want to repeat my senior year."
