Kieran's POV
I stood frozen, the note trembling in my fingers. My mind tried to make sense of what I'd just read, but it couldn't. Elise had jumped. She was gone. And her last words, were stained into my memory like blood on snow.
Felix snatched the note from my hand, his eyes scanning the scribbled message with frantic urgency. He dropped to his knees with a guttural cry that shattered the silence. His fists clenched the paper, and he let out a sound so raw and broken it made my chest clench.
"No," he sobbed. "No, no, no…"
His voice echoed through the ward, loud and painful.
I didn't move. I couldn't. My brain was still wrapping itself around what Elise had written.
