His mind was barely churning out thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He imagined many ways his reunion with Sia could go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would he be happy? Would he end up in tears? Would he hug her tightly and tell her she shouldn't run away?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But none of the reunions were silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's how the real reunion turned out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…you r-remembered it, right?\" Sia took a deep breath and gazed at him with a pale face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian snapped out of his daze and looked at her again. In the past, when she tried to speak to him, he completely ignored her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It resulted in her leaving for the defense academy and getting captured by Roxanne…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I remember. Everything.\" Varian spoke stiffly like he was a robot learning human language.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia looked into his eyes and placed her hand on her heart. His eyes had both extremes of emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gritted her teeth and asked. \"Do…do you want to kill me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Varian rose from his seat at her words and looked at her in shock. \"Sorry?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Would you feel better that way?\" Sia asked with a wry smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you crazy?\" Varian sat down with an annoyed expression. \"I will feel like shit if I do that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\" Sia didn't know what to say, but she was happy at his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her versions of the reunion were different. She was almost certain that Varian would face her with hatred. That he would curse her for Amanda's death and rightfully so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was even prepared for 'death'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, it was no small matter for her that Varian didn't consider killing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the ground, Varian said. \"It's Enigma, right? The one who k-killed mom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia stiffened at his words. She nodded slightly before shaking her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enigma has been sleeping for five hundred years. Even though she has some experience with the outside world, it's like the dreams from sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When my intense emotions woke her up, she only knew that she had to kill something. She…wasn't even properly awake.\" Sia bit her lip and revealed the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian clutched at his knees and said. \"…So she was sleepwalking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm. And my emotions were the reason she acted that way. It's my responsibility. Not hers. Though…she feels equally guilty.\" Sia said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haa!\" Varian sighed out loud as he leaned back into his chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian closed his eyes and recalled every interaction he had with her. At first, he thought her attitude was normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the more he interacted with her, the more he realized that she wasn't what she seemed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, she was just socially awkward. The others, she didn't how to deal with emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But of all, she was 'caring' for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until now, he thought it was because he was related to Sia. But thinking back, she nearly died in Pluto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of all the people, she had the worst injuries. She could've stopped fighting and tried to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in the Prince's Hall, Enigma fought Charles to tooth and nail. Even when her body was falling apart, Enigma stubbornly tried to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did she have to do that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could've escaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the words 'I quit' would've been sufficient. Once she was sent to the beast garden, her level would revert and her life would no longer be in danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, she took the risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She is…\" Varian recalled the moment Evander attacked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for Enigma using her own body to protect him, he'd have died without a doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By doing so, Enigma nearly pushed herself to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She'd have never known that he'd find the library and heal her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without asking for anything, she sacrificed her life to save his'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian clenched his fists hard. His palms were wet from the hot red liquid that dripped down his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Varian raised his head and looked at Sia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Sia,\" Varian said dryly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-Yes.\" Sia's voice still shivered and she lowered her head like a guilty criminal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Is there anything you want to say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not Enigma's responsibility, it's mi—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not about that. We are talking to each other after nearly a year. I had a lot of thoughts I wanted to talk to you about. But honestly, my heart is in a mess right now. So, do you have anything to say?\" Varian asked in a tired tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia raised her head and looked at him carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He…He wasn't angry. The rage in his eyes earlier dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wish you and Sarah a happy future.\" Sia bit her lip and said the words that prickled her heart. \"We…We met and now you know why I don't want to appear in your life. So, I won't disturb you two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian looked at her silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears welled up in her eyes, but Sia continued. \"E-Enigma will continue her work against the Abyssals. She doesn't want to admit it, and I myself realized only later, but she is doing it out of her guilt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian took a deep breath and propped his chin on his hand. He still didn't say a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia started sobbing, assuming his silence as acceptance. Even though she felt deserved the punishment, it still hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was why she never wanted to meet him in the first place. But now that she did, she decided to make things clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-If you need any help, ask Enigma. Unlike Enigma, I can't wield the path of the third path. So, she's stronger than me. Even though she won't say it, she's happy to help. Anything I can do, Enigma can do it better. So…thank you for everything and sorry for everything.\" Sia finished her words and collapsed in her seat like a deflated balloon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes dazedly stared at the ceiling, complicated emotions swirling in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though there was a tiny hope in her heart, she too knew it was delusional. Now that her hopes were crushed, she accepted reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was never going to be the same again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her thoughts descended into a spiral, Varian's serious voice sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can Enigma do anything better?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah…y-yes,\" Sia replied with a wry smile. 'What was I expecting…I hoped he said something else…I am really hopeless.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anything?\" Varian asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"YES!\" Sia gripped her fists and said. With each second staying her, her heart was bleeding. She just wanted to cry. She didn't want to talk anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he saw the memory , a million thoughts crossed in Varian's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It'd be false to say he held no anger. Not particularly towards Sia or Enigma. But rage towards the unfair situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did they have to lose control?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did his mother have to die?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Sia and Enigma felt sorry, would his mother come back?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What should he do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should he avoid her, hate her and treat her harshly for something that happened because she tried to save his life?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or kill her or rather Enigma—which would also kill Sia and get revenge?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What would he feel then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How would he feel killing the one person who despite her own hardships cared for him for a mistake she didn't intentionally commit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian paused for a moment and thought about what his mother would've wanted him to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Save Sia...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's heart was in a turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The negative emotions towards Sia or Enigma or perhaps towards himself didn't just dissipate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he decided to take a step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forgiveness or acceptance would take time but...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can she cook better than you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-Yeeees?\" Sia raised her head in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to start somewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>",1310,"2026-06-06T07:58:26.749Z",1,"novelbin.me","26b11538b8b1ec11ec8c1b798626ca5b284f9bcc2336dea215dca1fd18282465","divine-path-system-chapter-662","divine-path-system-chapter-660",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
