Chapitre 87: Winter

"So, what exactly does it actually feel like?" Julian asked out of curiosity.

"Like the biggest epiphany possible in the human experience." Rui replied. "For a moment you no longer care about anything in this world. You experience true happiness and satisfaction, and your mind has absolute clarity."

"Hmmm..." Julian hummed, engrossed in Rui's explanation. "Remarkable, really."

"Yes yes." Rui laughed.

"You're as strict as ever." Julian sighed with a resigned smile.

Rui proceeded to inquire about the Orphanage affairs, wanting to catch up on having missed a whole year of their lives.
