All the alters stared at him fixedly. Usually, Rion would look down dejectedly or even feel annoyed when they talked, but this time, his reaction was more positive and bright.
After seeing Jack, he turned to look at Lucifer. “What happened to Rose is my fault. I admit it and regret it, but I don’t do it intentionally. I didn’t stay silent when she was accused. I did everything I could to find out the truth.”
“But, you failed to save her! You didn’t believe her. Rose cried and knelt before you, saying that she was innocent and didn’t betray you, but you feigned ignorance. You even screamed at her and slapped her delicate cheek.” Lucifer dug into Rion’s deepest regret, gnawing at the positive aura that the man had just woken up.
“I…” Rion lost his words for a moment. He couldn’t do anything to erase his guilt for what he had done to Rose, and it seemed like he would carry that guilt for the rest of his life.
