The waiting seemed interminable.
Stella sensed Farris’ breath fading, intensifying her fear.
Farris coughed weakly, finally showing some response.
“Stella.”
“I’m here, Farris,” Stella hurriedly reassured him.
“Help is on its way. You have to hold on.”
“I…” Farris felt his consciousness slipping, but a glimmer of hope remained. Struggling to stay conscious, he told Stella, “You’re strong. You’ll make it.”
Hearing Farris’ feeble voice and feeling more blood on her hands, Stella panicked.
“Farris, I’m okay. You have to make it. Nothing can happen to you. We’ve just met; you’re my good friend. I can’t lose you.”
Her frantic words fell on deaf ears as Farris didn’t respond.
“Farris?” Stella persisted, despite her heartache, calling his name repeatedly.

“What do you want to say? Just say slowly. I’m Listening…” Bending closer, Stella strained to catch Farris’ words.
In a feeble voice, Farris said slowly, word by word, “Take care, my most precious friend.”
Immediately after finishing his words, his hand, poised to lift, fell heavily by his side.
“Farris!” Stella let out a scream, her consciousness fading gradually due to her injuries.
