Persephone stayed silent.Even over the phone, Morpheus knew whether she had been crying or laughing. He was the person who understood her the most in the world."Sephy…" Morpheus' voice was warm. "Shall we meet up in a while?""Yeah," Persephone softly agreed.-The place he had invited her to was a boxing gym.It wasn't officially open yet, but its size and decor were top-notch in Centrolis, more akin to a sports arena.Persephone looked around with curiosity, having already left behind the argument with her parents.Morpheus smiled. "How's this place?" "It's great!"It was much better than the underground boxing ring he used in Flinge!Quite a few staff members were bustling around. Agents were discussing partnerships with boxers.Among the boxers, Persephone recognized many faces. When she checked the profiles hanging on the wall, she realized these were world-class champions."Are you going to be a boxer here?" she asked excitedly.Morpheus looked at her, an indescr

Persephone's POV:'Subconsciously, it's been a year since I arrived in Southeast Aciatic.'The life here is quite comfortable. With Grandma Cordelia's ties to Southeast Aciatic royalty, I get to live in the palace, enjoying the same treatment as the princes and princesses here.'I'm pursuing my passion in university, studying the design major I've always wanted. I've always aspired to be an outstanding fireworks designer.'There's no winter in Southeast Aciatic, just year-round sunshine and warmth akin to spring, unlike a certain place... Yet, that place, although warm, felt damp and dark while the air carried a rotten scent. But it holds the most unforgettable person in my life.'Life in Southeast Aciatic is good, but it lacks him…'Throughout this year, Morpheus and I have maintained an unspoken understanding. We'll talk once a week over the phone and exchange emails every other week. We share our lives, discussing our achievements.'He manages that gym exceedingly well.'Sev

Morpheus' POV:'I didn't respond to her words. I simply said a brief goodnight and hung up.'She doesn't know that I've seen those fireflies before. When I was young, my surroundings were full of them. She also doesn't know how well acquainted I am with the Southeast Aciatic palace, even more than my own home.'She's unaware that in moments of despair on the battlefield when I nearly lost my life, I glimpsed those fireflies. They seemed to fly before my eyes as if leading me away and taking me to hell for judgment by fire.'As someone with hands stained with blood, I'm probably meant for hell.'I smiled, lying in bed. I intended to sleep early, but that night felt incredibly long, haunted by one nightmare after another. I was back in that place where blood flowed like a river…'I saw my father fading away before me, eventually turning into a bright spot. On closer inspection, it was a firefly with its wings spread.'I was startled awake from the dream, hastily grabbed some medic

Rebecca grabbed Morpheus' hand.He abruptly pushed her away, causing her to stumble and almost fall. He felt a twinge of guilt but didn't reach out to help her up.She looked at him, her gaze filled with disappointment."Sorry, I... " He explained softly, "I don't like people touching me.""But Ms. Hamerton can, right?" she asked.Morpheus' heart clenched.In that instant, his mind was filled with Sephy."Morpheus, you still can't let her go, can you?"He furrowed my brow. Her question seemed intrusive. "Is this something a psychologist should ask?""It's a friend asking," Rebecca said, looking down. "I thought after all this time, you'd consider me a friend.""Rebecca..." He sighed, "There's no issue of letting go between me and her.""What do you mean?""We made a promise.""Does that promise still count?" Rebecca's emotions grew intense. "Do you really think she'll come back?""What are you saying?"Morpheus was taken aback, and his mind suddenly went blank."I'm par

Persephone lazily turned over, tiny beads of sweat forming on her nose.There was no winter in Southeast Aciatic, it was sweltering summer all year round. Even in air-conditioned rooms, she would feel irritable from the oppressive heat.She stepped out of bed and stood on the balcony.What was the temperature today? It was too hot this early in the day. How would she manage today? She still had a full day of classes today.Persephone sighed, picked up her phone, and checked it for a while.Morpheus hadn't called her or sent an email because it wasn't the agreed time yet.It was just that... Did this fellow always have to be so punctual? Couldn't he break the routine for once?She pouted. Last night's sleep wasn't great. When coupled with the scorching weather, her appetite wasn't good either. Her recent design assignments were fraught with various small issues, making her feel like a balloon ready to burst. She was just missing a pin.Persephone pulled at her hair, making a mes
