————Persephone Seasons—A story—————— After many days and nights of preparation, Lily was finally ready to leave for the boarding school nearly two hundred miles away. It likely meant she wouldn't see her mother for a long time. Before Lily departed, her mother gently placed a necklace around her neck and urged her to keep it safe, as it was a family heirloom. She also told Lily that whenever Lily needed her, she could press the rose token in the center. As the bus approached the farm, Lily's mother embraced her tightly and wished her a safe and happy journey. After boarding, she slowly walked to the back of the bus, sat on an empty seat, and settled down. Around twenty minutes passed, and a boy with glasses sat beside Lily and introduced himself as Dylan. They shook hands and chatted for a while. After centuries, the bus stopped in front of an abandoned building.
