Chapter 124

It was a common story.

A girl who had lived her entire life in darkness saw light for the first time, but, unable to adjust to its warmth, she became frightened and ran away.

A paradox of misery.

Though she wept, wishing to escape unhappiness, she inevitably returned to the misery that was most familiar to her.

In her wandering life, the only home she ever knew was that sadness.

A life that ultimately lingered in existence.

The girl before me was no exception.

"You were here, Miss Neria."

"You...?"

Silver hair rippled in the harsh wind.@@@@

The starlight swirled around her.

"You... chased after me... even through this relentless snowstorm."

"I promised to take responsibility."

"...Yes, that’s just like you."

You’re that kind of person.

With an odd mix of emotions, the girl let out a resigned laugh.

Her calm voice betrayed a sense of surrender.

"That’s why I left you."

Because you’re too kind.

The warmth and kindness you so carelessly offered, the devotion you extended to make a home beyond misery, were overwhelming and suffocating for a creature like me, a wretched monster.

I was afraid this cursed fate would hurt even you.

So I chose to leave your side on my own.
