As these thoughts surfaced, the air around him seemed to thin.
Slumped over the steering wheel, his figure sank into the darkness of the night, shrouded in a faint, eerie glow.
Helpless, heartbroken, lonely, and pained.
Perhaps the cruelest thing in this world is knowing you were wrong, wanting to make amends, but discovering you'll never have the chance.
It was like being a teenager again, always talking back to your parents over one thing or another, hurting their feelings.
But only after becoming a parent yourself do you realize all the helplessness and heartache your own parents endured.
You want to repay their love and care, only to find they have long since left this world.
All that remains is helpless, irreversible regret.
This was the exact pain Leona Grant was feeling right now.
'What am I supposed to do, Annabelle?'
'I can't forget you, and I can't make up for the hurt I caused. What am I supposed to do…'
...
「Celestia.」
