He Went Mad When I Tuned Out
"Ding! Rowan Shore's Affinity Level has reached 100%! Congratulations on completing your mission, Clara. Do you want to leave this world?"
I looked at Rowan, who had once put me through endless torment. His eyes gleamed with genuine devotion as he looked at me.
However, certain wounds couldn't be erased by a simple "I love you".
"Yes, I want to leave," I said firmly in my mind.
The system hesitated. "Are you sure? You've already tried twice. Maybe you should just…"
"If I fail once, I can do it a second time. If twice doesn't work, there's always a third time." I cut the system off. As I watched Rowan carefully tuck the blanket around me, I added resolutely, "I have to go."
