He then lifted his head.
When the boys saw his face, they were perplexed.
Eranos' eyes... were filled with tears.
"Why are you crying?! We were the ones who were attacked for no reason!" Both boys thought in indignation.
It was like the situation where a bully hit their victim, then complained to the teacher that the victim ran into their fist and hurt them.
This was ridiculous! They should be the ones crying!
What the boys did not know was that Eranos was going through some emotional turmoil in his mind at the moment.
With his body previously completely dried up, he was unable to shed tears for a long time, even if he wanted to.
But now…
He lifted a hand and touched his wet cheek. Looking at his wet finger, he seemed both sad and elated at the same time.
A slight smile appeared on his face, yet there was no smile in his gaze.
