'I' was floating.
My mind was muddy. A sense of lethargy filled me.
"I am Jae-sung."
My mouth moved on its own.
Huh? Why am I Jae-sung?
"I am Jae-sung."
I had to protect Lumine. But I'm weak. I'm far too weak.
Strength. I needed strength.
"I am Jae-sung."
The charm magic cleared my thoughts. It only left me with feelings for Lumine.
And I used them to trick myself.
With the charm controlling my consciousness and subconsciousness, my thoughts would perfectly align as long as it was for Lumine.
"I am Jae-sung."
Using that I altered my own ego with the help of Dream Tree.
Jae-sung was strong. As a reader of the novel, nobody knew about him more than me, not even he himself.
I knew he hated himself.
He wanted the warmth of others but he was afraid he wouldn't be able to protect them.
He wanted to be with everyone but he was afraid of being betrayed again.
