On the other side, Alix watched Ai gently wiping her eyelashes as she sniffled and composed herself.
"Shui is such an amazing artist, right?"
Alix then moved her gaze towards the painting too, expressionless. "Too amazing of an artist I must say. But she is wrong."
"Wrong?"
"...Nothing," she then glanced at her. "Did the painting have that much effect on you?"
Ai held a faraway gaze. "Yes, it has. Time…It's strange, right? We don't realize its passing until it gets too late. We are only filled with regrets when we turn and face our lives and the decisions we made. I have been in that place. I have been very lucky that I got a golden chance to change my life. It was something very important bestowed upon me. That's why, I don't take my life and my blessings for granted anymore."
Alix said nothing.
"Pastry aunt!!!"
A euphoric ball of energy landed straight towards Alix's legs. She blinked down to see Ailun sparkling at her.
