Are you sure?
A familiar voice pulled Little Lisop's thoughts back to an earlier time, a time when he was asked the same question, a time when he saw pity on the face of the voice's owner.
Back then, he did not understand where this pity came from.
Now he...
understood.
His destiny had been sealed at that time.
And the Master who saw his destiny was trying… trying to stop him!
Yes!
That kind Master was trying to stop him.
But he did not listen!
He regretted it!
Little Lisop cried.
A loud cry under regret!
Self-healing after the breakdown!
"Cry, after you've cried—tell me how you decide to choose."
In a gentle voice, Arthur sat down beside the bound Little Lisop, allowing Little Lisop to cry loudly while leaning on his knees.
In the middle of crying, Arthur's palm gently caressed Little Lisop's head and back.
"Bluff" sparkled to its peak at this moment.
Like a light in the darkness, it lit up the cellar.
