Elizabeth listened to him patiently. She did not blame him even though everything was his fault.
Through the closeness of their skin, Neo could feel her heartbeats. The thought that she would soon die dreaded him.
Again, he would lose his happiness.
Time kept ticking.
Neo ignored the increasing erosion.
He ignored the shattering world.
He embraced Elizabeth and listened to her heartbeats.
And when the time was close, Elizabeth pulled back and looked at him.
Her hands pulled his cheeks up.
"I won't be able to see you for a long time. So, I would rather remember our last moment where you had a smile than where you look sad."
Neo tried to smile.
Elizabeth smiled back at him.
And finally, her heart stopped beating.
There was no injury, no work of Elementals. Nothing.
Her body suddenly went limp.
Her Consciousness disappeared.
Death Elementals surged in the surroundings.
They embraced him.
That is the Witch's Curse.
