Noah's eyes became cold as he regained control of his mental faculties.
"Do you know what were her last words to me?"
Lily's expression became confused and she tried to retreat but Noah's grip on her arm was firm and unmoving.
"She said: don't care about me. That woman managed to endure any kind of pain in order to give me enough time to develop."
A warm smile appeared on his face as he thought about her.
Lily panicked and spoke.
"How did you manage to break free from the illusion? Your mind was lost in guilt!"
Noah shook his head.
"I didn't, it's just that she always smiled every time she looked at me."
She replied in a confused voice.
"Then, how did you regain control of yourself?"
"Because you tried to ruin my image of her and that made me angry."
Black smoke came out from the hand holding her arm.
"So angry that all the guilt disappeared and I could think clearly again."
