Silence stretched as Ryder delivered his question. Frankly, the moment he had heard of an affinity that could reincarnate the dead, his mind couldn't help but trail instantly to the image of his mother.
Her corpse had suddenly come to his mind, which made him ask his first question. "Does your affinity work on every single human being?"
The answer that had been given made his mind ponder. With a glimmer of hope from his heart, he asked his next question.
"Can you... bring my mother back?"
Mika paused for a moment, with her gaze fixed on Ryder before she responded with a question of her own.
"If I may ask, for how long has she been dead?"
"Should be around two weeks now," Ryder responded, his hope still palpable. "However..."
"I am sorry, but my affinity doesn't work like that," Mika responded, throwing all hope Ryder had gotten through the window.
