Suddenly, his mother's voice turned somber. "But even in this universe, I could not be a good mother to you." She faced the ground. "Though this world was created by me, I could only leave it to its own devices as I went fighting off The Shadows. It was never my intention for things to end up like this." She paused. "But when I had returned to this universe, you were already dead."
Lee Dojin let his mother talk without interruption.
She held her face, her back hunched. "Suicide. That was the reason. I could not believe it. My Lee Dojin, who was so strong in the other world would take his own life like that. It wasn't acceptable to me." The God turned quiet. She had a sad smile. "But then, why did I not understand? You were only human, and me, I was selfish to wish for love I didn't deserve."
Lee Dojin stood up. He walked to his mother and leaned against the table. His mouth opened. "I see."
