Keira Leaf, who had been holding back her tears, finally let them flow again at this moment. The great hall was too silent, and she was afraid of disturbing others and making Max Sully feel more grief. She decided to cover her mouth and run out, not wanting to stay in this suffocating place any longer.
Outside, it was still pouring rain that splashed high with every step Keira took.
Having reached the outside, Keira couldn't help but cry out loud, "Alice, I'm sorry...I'm sorry... If I had found someone to save you earlier, if I hadn't been so selfish, maybe you wouldn't have died... I'm truly sorry."
Keira's body was quickly drenched, her wet hair clinging to her small face, further highlighting her pale complexion.
Tears and rainwater mixed together, the occasional lightning that streaked across the sky made her feel even more guilty. The weight of Alice's death pressed heavily on her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.
