"So, that means you have uncovered the secret plan of the evil organisation and yet failed to do anything against it, right?" Momentarily, Alex's sharp words choked Ethan. He was never expecting a question like that when he was revealing his deepest, darkest experience.
For a moment, he didn't know how to respond. Yet, he took a breath and calmly explained his situation.
"Hm… It is the reality that I have to live with. Not a day goes by without me thinking about my failures. Each time, I wish I could have done more. But in the end, I cannot rewind back time. No one can." Ethan accepted the blame wholeheartedly.
Alex didn't know Ethan quite well. And he had no reason to completely believe every one of his words. So, he was cautious when dealing with him.
