After a while;
The three were seen on the rooftop of a distant but not far away residence.
Alice lay stretched out on her back, hands behind her head, gazing lazily at the stars above. A small smile curved her lips. "Kael," she said softly, patting the floor beside her. "Come here."
He glanced at her, uncertain.
"Come on," she tugged at his sleeve, dragging him down beside her. "Stop focusing too much on the ground and look up for once."
With a reluctant huff, Kael settled next to her, lying on the cool stone. The sky above was vast with an endless sprawl of stars splattered across a black canvas, glimmering like scattered crystals.
A few feet away, Shiera sat cross-legged with arms around her knees, although her focus never strayed from the graveyard.
Kael tilted his head toward her. "Hey, Shiera. Come lie down with us. You should look at this. It's… beautiful"
She didn't turn. "I don't care."
