[ Vex was quiet for awhile after Rafa spoke. It seemed as though he might never speak about this subject, but he found he was able to confide in Rafa. Perhaps because he lost Hunter in a similar way? ]

We were in the portal together. I couldn't hang onto him...

[ His voice sounded dead, completely devoid of any emotion or tone. ]

Sometimes I see him and hear him. Sometimes I feel his arms around me when I'm trying to sleep.
