In general, once people placed their other thoughts aside, they would be able to concentrate much better. That applied to Lyra as well.
As she continued looking at it, Lyra paused for a brief moment before a frown began forming on her face.
“…Hmm?”
Squinting her eyes, Lyra’s eyes slowly widened, fear reflected in them as she sat upright before shouting, “No… No!”
Everyone instantly became terrified as they watched Lyra—who had placed her hands on the side of her head—scream hysterically.
“Lyra? Lyra, are you alright?” asked Gerald.
“What’s wrong, Lyra?” asked Daryl next as he stood up and walked toward her.
With a quivering finger, Lyra then pointed at the picture of the sun. In a terrified voice, she then muttered, “I… I saw it…”
She was simply too frightened to even say anything beyond that.
After Daryl and Gerald exchanged glances with each other, both of them asked in unison, “What did you see?”
Slowly turning to look at Gerald, Lyra then replied, “I… I saw… I saw Gerald getting murdered by others!”
The moment her sentence ended, Lyra immediately burst into tears.
“…What? Gerald was being murdered? Calm yourself Lyra, and tell us everything that you saw!” said Daryl.
From the moment he had first met Lyra, Daryl had sensed that his granddaughter-in-law was quite good, and not just in terms of her beauty and disposition. However, he couldn’t quite put his thumb on why he felt that way.
