Forgive me, Emma. I truly apologize. I shouldn't have brought you back to face your past hell.

Upon reuniting with Bright, Emma came to a profound realization – the events of seven years ago weren't solely Bright's fault;
there was a share of culpability on her part as well.
Her own naivety played a crucial role, as she had elevated Bright to an almost divine status in her brain and her heart.
Consequently, when he left, it wasn't just her heart that shattered;
it was her soul,
her entire being.
The ruins of all the happiness and dreams she had built around him.
Everything she held dear crumbled.
Emma had placed an excessive amount of reliance on Bright for her happiness in the past.
This, she acknowledged, was a grave mistake – one that had far-reaching consequences.
