Today is the day Sole has been dreading. He was able to travel far enough from the safety of his home. He couldn’t put it off any longer. He wants to run away but he knows Rhea won't let him. He can't help but think how ironic it was that he originally created her to distract him from this reality. After some walking they found her headstone that read, "Alma". Alma had always loved butterflies. Sole thought it only appropriate she have her headstone as one.. Sole started to feel weak, but Rhea held his hand, which stabilized him a bit. He saw another name next to Alma's. Sole collapsed. It was the baby's name they had picked for their daughter.
The name was Rhea. Sole must have had that information repressed by the trauma of the accident. He started to cry. He felt like the tears would never stop. He felt like he would weep for eternity. Rhea could feel Sole suffering so she held him close.Seeing him suffer caused her great pain but she knew he had to confront this. He created her and she loved him. She stroked his hair tenderly. He could cry for all eternity and she would remain by his side.
