Chapitre 60: Chapter 59

Hiro felt his eyes heat up once more as tears gathered within them, threatening to spill. It was like Raiden’s hug broke the dam keeping his emotions at bay and he hugged Raiden tightly, seeking solace in the safety of his arms. His tears flowed silently, yet his body trembled with the weight of his suppressed feelings. Raiden sensed Hiro's distress and enveloped him in a protective cocoon, holding him close as he cried.

For a while, Hiro sobbed unabashedly, the tears flowing like a torrential downpour. Memories of their parents' abandonment flooded his mind, reopening old wounds that had never fully healed. But gradually, as Raiden continued to stroke his hair with gentle reassurance, coupled with the comforting scent of Raiden's cologne enveloping him, he began to find a sense of calm amidst the turmoil. With each gentle stroke, a sense of peace washed over him, gradually easing the intensity of his tears.
