Henry, seeing the faint smile lingering on Ivy's face, couldn't help but frown slightly.
The curve of her lips felt out of place, almost distant, as though it belonged to someone who was remembering something far beyond the present moment.
'Why does that smile feel… unfamiliar?'
For a fleeting moment, a thought crossed his mind, one so absurd that he almost dismissed it instantly.
'Was I… somehow part of her past life?'
It reminded him of that particular day when Ivy had asked Silas to contact Felix.
Silas had mentioned unconsciously about how Ivy knew her half past life from the temporal storage and wanted to know the full past.
He still remembered how shaken she had looked afterward.
Her hands had trembled ever so slightly, her eyes clouded as if she had glimpsed something she wasn't ready to face.
At that time, he hadn't understood.
'Did she see something terrifying… or something she couldn't accept?'
