Except for the sound of sobbing filled with agony, other sounds ceased to exist.
Lucas's eyes flashed with an unknown glint as Jay cried in his arms. He could feel the loneliness and trauma overshadowing the boy's life.
He had also been alone. He had also been afraid.
But it was not to such a degree that affected him drastically. Even though he faced some risky situations, there were always people who were warm to him, and at least he hadn't gone through torture and starvation.
It did not matter if all those were a facade or a pretense from the other side, as he had already moved forward accepting his situation and letting go of the past. So, he knew the weight of the chains of the past.
A few moments later, Jay stopped crying.
After crying so much, he felt embarrassed while wondering if this person would abandon him, finding him worrisome.
"Have you calmed down?"Lucas asked.
"Umm."
A soft sound escaped from his lips.
