    Summary

    Because at the end of the day, Derek Hutchins wasn’t some paragon of virtue and generosity. Derek Hutchins was a human. An arrogant, greedy, selfish human. A human who wanted to survive and live a life he assigned meaning to. A part of him hoped that Avery was included in that.

    “You and I can work together. To escape the inevitability of death, we recycle life and become born anew. Birth to negate death. Knowledge stemming from curiosity to give way to change.”

    The knight closed his eyes once more, the piercing headache that demanded itself to be known slowly receding into his mind like a sea wave pulling back offshore, preparing to create a tsunami. A sea wave that swept his consciousness away, funneling it elsewhere to form a natural disaster that he wasn’t privy to.

    On January 14th, Derek Hutchins awoke to the sun beaming on his face.

    And a quiet coo of a baby swaddled in a yellow blanket, demanding his attention.
