Bab 219: Henceforth

"You just did the one thing that you shouldn't have done," I said.

This single sentence of someone I once considered a friend was enough. 

In this world, in this new life of mine, I only had one thing that I valued above the rest. 

And it was my care for Mia. 

Maybe I was just a simpleton who fell for the first skirt that fluttered on the wind before my eyes. Maybe I was just so tired of the lonesome life that I latched to the first form of intimacy and idolized it beyond any reason. 

I was aware of how dishonest the foundation of my relationship with Mia could be. 

I was aware... but that didn't mean jackshit. 

No matter what kind of dark or untrue feelings caused me to bring Mia to the pedestal of my life, I cared not. Because for the first time in both of my lives, I finally had someone to care about. 

"Still," I shook my head, forcing all those thoughts to the back of my head.
