Chapitre 1888: Asna's Awakening.

Suddenly, his face broke into a foolish smile as the faces of the countless people who had died flashed before his eyes.

Children, families, and entire worlds were all snuffed out while he had convinced himself it was the "necessary" thing to do.

It chewed at him, this cold, calculated decision he had made...And for the first time in a long while, Felix felt something he hadn't allowed himself to feel, regret.

He turned, and his gaze fell on Asna. Then, he continued to speak with a voice lanced with self-reflection, "But now, I'm faced with a choice, a choice I should have seen before. I can be the bad guy who lets the universe burn to achieve a goal, or I can be the good guy who tries to protect those who need it, no matter the cost."

Asna listened quietly, her eyes never leaving his. Felix took a deep breath, his next words tinged with the bitterness of his own mistakes.
