The specter left behind nothing but a handful of ash as he vanished. Eugene stood still for a moment while staring at the pile of gray remaining in his palm.
It was Eugene who had told the specter not to dismiss his regrets. He had offered to carry them together. The specter had not refused. Instead of forcibly trying to shake off his regrets, the specter just left them as a lingering burden for Eugene to worry about, just as he suggested.
