In the Grey family mansion, Rowan stood outside the gate, getting ready to leave for school. His reincarnated form as Branson Grey had many limitations. He couldn't use his soul magic fully, and from the memories he had acquired, his life felt incomplete, fragmented.
Suddenly, his father, Edwin Grey, approached him from behind, his hands behind his back. He walked cautiously, like someone who was expecting a duel challenge.
Branson turned his head slightly after noticing someone approaching him but when he saw it was his fake father, he turned his head around again, acting as though he never noticed anyone.
"C'mon, son, you don't have to act so cold around me anymore. I know I've made my mistakes, but I'll try from now on to act properly as a father," Edwin said, his voice soft and almost sincere.
