Chapitre 430: The Set Sequence

The suffocating weight of dread permeated my very soul, threatening to overwhelm me. It felt as though I were on the precipice of death, teetering on the edge of sheer shock. My entire being had slowed to a crawl, and I feared that I might succumb to this oppressive emotion alone.

As I stood there, frozen by the enormity of the moment, I caught a glimpse of his face. He appeared initially frightened, and then a wave of confusion swept over him. Finally, his expression transformed into one of unbridled joy as the realization dawned upon him. Without a hint of arrogance, I knew that I was the revelation he had longed for. He enveloped me in a warm and tight embrace.

"It's so good to see you again..." he murmured, his voice trembling and barely audible, punctuated by the occasional hiccup caused by his tears. Tears welled up in my own eyes, and I found myself immersed in a surreal state of euphoria.
