As Reyna's mother try to annoy us, a sobbing voice could be heard near the end of the tunnel. This voice sounds all-too-familiar, but I've never heard it sob before. "Elena... is that you?" |...| I have yet another query. If you don't mind, may I ask... what is happiness? It's a vague question with no incorrect answers, and of course, there are no correct ones too. It is simply subjective. Our definition of the pinnacle of life deviates from each other, but if there was one thing we could all agree on, it's this moment. Never in my unorthodox life have I witnessed such genuine happiness. If the world were watching, I'm sure even the most heartless individuals would be touched by this reunion. "Tintin... this is really you, right?" Elena barely whispered as she cried out an ocean. Her body trembles as she holds her brother tight with a warm embrace. "I'm an adult now... d-don't call me that." Sir Konstantin replied with teary ey

"Stop it? Don't fuck with me. I don't know when to stop.

I'm currently witnessing it now... from the man the least I anticipated to do so. Never in a million years would I have expected to see Sir Rigor in such a pathe

Uhh... No reply?! What the hell is this supposed to mean? I feel like they know something I don't, and it's not good news. "Master... I'd like t-to update you about something." Nori barely muttered. "G-Go ahead..." While scratching her head with a poker face, Nori exclaimed, "Uhh... Master, you may die." "Eh?" |...| The fate of Midway lies in my hands. I can feel the unbearable weight of the task ahead of me, crushing my sanity like crumpling paper. And I don't know if some seventeen-year-old pessimistic sadboi can bear the burden. What's worst is, despite such arduous ordeal coming at my face full speed, the people I relied on are acting like children... at the MOST CRUCIAL moment of the crisis! "C-Come on, Master! What are we waiting for? Let us do the switch." Nori exclaimed as she awkwardly giggled. Even without trying, I can tell that smile is fake! It's no use trying to talk it out of her! Perhaps
