Despite knowing that it wasn't real and that its real body was far away, under its gaze, I felt utterly powerless. The top of my head ached, and my vision blurred slightly.
Thankfully, the sensation didn't last for very long and I was able to come back to myself shortly after.
"Haa… haaa…"
Unknowingly, my breath was heavy, and my lips were dry.
Licking my lips, I looked back at the owl that was resting calmly on the table while looking at me. Its eyes glowed with a serene, almost dispassionate curiosity.
It didn't say anything, but it had already said all that it needed to say.
'As expected, another twisted relationship.'
Leon, Delilah, Atlas, and now the tree… I really had a knack for this type of stuff.
I bitterly laughed to myself while taking a seat.
"I get it. You don't need to remind me."
