Rion was getting more and more restless from time to time. His eyes moved slowly, but it was hard to open them. He wanted to wake up but couldn't.
"You're not a criminal..."
The voice that had been ringing for a long time finally became clear. He knew that voice.
"You have received your punishment. Rion, please don't torture yourself anymore. You are not a criminal."
Tears flowed from the corners of Rion's eyes, sliding freely into the bottomless darkness.
"Odette..." After trying for quite a while, he finally managed to open his eyes and found himself being hugged by Odette while the girl was still repeating the same words.
"Odette..."
"Huh?" Hearing the soft call, Odette looked up to see Rion, who was also looking at her. "Rion?"
She stared with questioning eyes, and Rion nodded once.
