couldn't bring herself to refuse.
Morpheus' kiss was intense and fervent as if he wanted to pour all his passion into that one kiss. He
wished to transform that moment into eternity.
"I like you," he murmured against her lips, his voice husky. "Sephy, don't leave me..."
Persephone instinctively nodded along. She was engulfed in heat, every cell in her body ablaze, every
inch of her skin ignited by him. -
At night, Morpheus found himself on that battlefield again in his dreams.
It was a scene of devastation, bloodshed everywhere, much like the fight with Louis in the ring today.

Morpheus was startled, looking around, only to gradually make out a figure in the mist.
"Morpheus, do you want to kill me again?"
Morpheus stood there, stunned. He felt as though someone was stripping his bones and tendons away.

the blanket around her properly. Her feet would always kick around whenever she slept, and her
sleeping posture was never graceful.
Morpheus chuckled softly, his bandaged hand lightly brushing her hair. She moved a bit, seemingly
dreaming something joyful.
Yet, a tender spot in his heart ached intensely.
