And the one thing you never dared to think back on was the hand you'd finally let go of. That was the child bound to you by blood. And the nightmare that haunted your dreams for more than a decade afterward. The image was like a black snake lurking deep in a drainage ditch, silently curled up, never truly gone. Born of blood ties, it wound around your ankles, coiled around your pulse, and tightened slowly and silently. No matter how you struggled, you could never tear it from your life. You never imagined you would see Cain again. Much less that, years later, in a foreign country, he could smile at you as if nothing had ever happened. Those pale violet eyes were still beautiful. Only the child who once depended on you seemed to have become a complete stranger. You had no idea what he had gone through over the years. You knew only that the child you'd believed had died in the fire was now standing right in front of you. No questions. No resentment. He was still gentle, still like the child you remembered. And so, for the first time, the nightmare that had troubled you for more than a decade seemed to have reached its long-delayed end. Perhaps he truly didn't hate you. Perhaps this reunion, twelve years in the making, could at last become a long-overdue redemption. —But no one knew that the snake, dormant for years, had already opened its eyes the moment you reunited.
