In Terranevo's desolation, Kody succumbed to grief's unyielding grip. Each day plunged him deeper into the bleak stages of denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and reluctant acceptance. Lumine's return as a ghost, far from offering solace, cast a haunting pall over Kody's existence, a constant reminder of the void left by loss. Their spectral dance through the shadows of grief unearthed the relentless nature of sadness, revealing a bitter truth - some wounds may never truly heal.
