The black-haired boy and the brown-haired girl held hands and smiled brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our faces, our clothes, and our smiles—they were all real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at the gift again, and I couldn't help but grip it tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I was at my lowest, when I wished for death, this…this little thing kept me going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This small gift wouldn't sell for much on the market, but even if it could buy me planets, I would never sell it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the symbol of our relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I cherished it with my life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I was nervous when I placed the figurines at the doorstep. To be precise, I put them at eye level on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Varian returned, I held my breath and watched him reach for his door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw the figurines, he finally paused and my heart was about to break out of the ribcage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes showed a bit of confusion, but he quickly grabbed the figurines aggressively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Caref—\" My voice wasn't heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…What the heck?\" Varian fiddled with them for a moment before observing the faces of the figurines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze stayed on the boy's face only for a while. After confirming that it was the face of his younger self, Varian's expression contorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body shook in what I presumed to be sadness, but—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trash!\" Varian cursed at the figurine, no, he cursed his younger self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You delusional idiot! You worthless fool! You are the one why she's gone!\" He growled like an injured beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I flinched and took a step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew he hated himself after her death, but just how much...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wish you were never born!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wanted to console him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, even if I have to expose myself, I didn't want him to live a life of self-loathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment our distance was a bit close, Varian's body shook violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the…\" He started to bleed from his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't notice it, but my psychic sense noticed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That bastard did hit me on my nose once,\" Varian muttered as his bleeding stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stepped forward once again. Lightly this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each step I took, my heart grew heavier and heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when I finally crossed the eventual distance, I saw it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's body, no, every fiber of his being was shaking like it saw its enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's happening?\" Varian looked around in confusion. Blood started to leak out of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I took another step forward, he started coughing out blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough. Cough. Cough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gritted my teeth at the site, but hardening my heart, I moved forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arghhh!\" Varian's eyes turned bloodshot and blood started to leak out of his nose too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hurriedly stepped back and clenched my fists. My nails dug into my flesh and my palms were utterly bloodied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew for certain now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was rejecting me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't know how this could happen, but more importantly, I didn't understand why this had to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment that question occurred, I wondered if this world hated me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Why? Why did it have to be this way?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could hear my question. Even if they could, there was no one with an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I understood that Varian's condition wouldn't change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something happened when Roxanna held me captive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My eyes suddenly widened as a realization struck me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'When they erased his memory, did they also let his body reject me?' It was a ridiculous thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hurriedly shook my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even I knew it was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being a Psychic myself, I could more or less gauge what a Sovereign Psychic could do. Even if an artifact was added, Kreo couldn't control Varian's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, Varian couldn't see me right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, how could his body actually detect me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is beyond even what Sovereigns could accomplish. No artifact was capable of such a feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Then...' I looked at him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man who was as broken as I was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The secret to this change perhaps was hidden in him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he really had such a big secret, then why wouldn't he still awaken?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No, it isn't certain that he lost his memories!' I told myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Roxanna told me that she erased my memory from everyone, even though she said it with conviction, I want to cling to that tiny bit of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, when he dismissed the bleeding as a consequence of fighting and went back to viewing the figurines, I was hopeful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shifted to my figurine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figurine he sculpted with his own hands. The gift for which he slept with bandages covering his hands for a week. The present for which he risked being branded a pervert. The result of his blood, sweat, and dedication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I closed my eyes and waited for him to call out my name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just tell me you can remember...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My heart sent prayers to the stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Roxanna, I thought staying away from him was the best course of decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after the hellish life, I realized…I didn't want to stay away from him anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if I died the next day?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, for as long as I'm still alive, I wanted to stay with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might still hate me, but as long as I can see him, as long as I can see him happy, I will be content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He's the only one I have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why, Varian, please don't forget me…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My heart beats for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who the hell is she?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He broke my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did I know her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I opened my mouth to cry, but it felt like someone blocked the air in my chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep pain I've never experienced burnt through my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the worst torture Roxanna inflicted didn't pain me this much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, I cowered on the ground and started crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like an orphan abandoned by the world, I cried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-Why?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W…Why is this happening to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-Heuk!?\" I couldn't even speak anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how much I sobbed, screamed, and wailed, my cries didn't reach the man in front of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I knelt on the floor like a forgotten object, he denied my very existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This stupid prank.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kacha!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figurines crashed in front of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I quickly, but carefully held up the figurines with bloodied hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My fingers shook when I touched the blunted edges of the figurine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was damaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figurines that symbolized our bond...damaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, I was angry.
