Kiera! I am so glad you could join me on the tour today. I have a special question that I’d like you to answer: Are you afraid of Ien now, after his horrific accident and…we…you know?
Am I afraid of Ien? Hmm, I have to think about that a little. Ien has always held a special place in my heart. He’s been my muse, my inspiration. No one composes as he does. No one accompanies my music like he can. When the explosion happened and I first saw him, I knew there was no way he could have survived. His face…his face was just so…so…gone. Nothing but smoldering flesh and bone. I’ll never forget how that looked.
I don’t know how he managed to survive it. James visited him a few times before the end. But I couldn’t. I just couldn’t bear to see him in that state. At the funeral, I felt guilty. I should have visited him. I should have said a proper goodbye. And now…I don’t really know what to make of everything now.
But I do see his face still, in my dreams. I see the burned flesh and protruding bone. And I hear the music Ien composed for me. It haunts me…
It will forever haunt me.
Am I afraid of him? Yes, I think I am.
