"T-That was!"
I woke up drenched in a pool of my own sweat. Huffing and puffing, I tried my best to compose myself and bring the shaking down a notch. However, the memories that returned to my mind still haunted me, and my cold sweats turned into absolute shivers of agony. And the piercing pain that resonated within my heart… Quickly turned into feelings of remorse.
Those memories… They weren't just mine.
They were Rosalyn's… They were Rosa's memories.
Yes… How could I have forgotten? The painful past that the girl was subject to. The sadness and loneliness she'd felt. And… The reason why I chose to stay with the girl. I wanted to make her happy. I wanted to make her whole again. I wanted…
To give her a soul. A new lease on life.
Yet, throughout these fifteen years, Rosa had been protecting me from the shadows. She'd faithfully protected me even when I had completely forgotten about her. Even when Irina pulled off her selfish stunt, Rosa was content to watch from obscurity.
