Leonel put Aina down and hugged her tightly. At that moment, silently, a burden that he had been holding onto for a long while was put down. He didn't even sense that his wife was naked, and there wasn't the slightest bit of lewd thoughts in his mind anymore.
The last lingering influence of his future self vanished like wisps in the air, and all of the guilt that wasn't his own to bear disappeared along with it.
He would never again be faced with losing his wife in this life.
He held onto her tightly, listening to her breathing, feeling the beat of her heart, the warmth of her skin.
Aina could feel Leonel's emotion and her eyes couldn't help but tear up. She silently laid on his chest, her breathing even and at peace.
She could also sense that the last lingering darkness in Leonel's heart had vanished.
