Jim blinked and then looked at the old man. "Who are you," he asked quietly. The old man cackled and shook his head. "Time wastes with silly questions," the old man commented. "To find the answers you seek search yourself. Salvation lies within you!" The old man fell silent after that.<br/><br/>"Salvation likes within me, huh," he asked chuckling. "You know, you have never given me a straight answer. Why am I expecting you to give me one now?" He shook his head and reached inside him. What he found there was his own love. He pulled it out and created a secondary manifestation of himself, however more permanent, inside her. The manifestation turned to him and smiled. "You have released me and given me life," he said. "Now I must return the favor." He smiled and reached out his hands. "Beth! I love you!" The words rang through the whole area and slowly radiated the power of love throughout the library and beyond. A pink light shone from the manifestation and kept expanding to encompass everything in sight.<br/><br/>Once everything was bathed in a pink light the manifestation sighed. "That is all I can do, for now," he said. "All we have to do now is wait... Hopefully, if she still has a shred of consciousness she will respond and love will return here. Love is the balancing force in emotions and it is love that helps restore happiness."
