Bab 184: CH. 183: Now I Finally Understand

Seeing as she has finally calmed down, he let her go and sat down while leaning on the tree.

"I finally have the answer..."

She tilted her head to the side.

He took out his handkerchief and handed it to her.

"I had been asking you over and over again why you kept running away. Now I finally understand."

At this moment, Heather looks like a child that was being coerced by the adults to stop crying. That was how she looks as she wiped her eyes and face with the handkerchief he had given.

"I also understand what you meant a while ago. That you are scared. You are scared of the past aren't you? Scared of the present, scared of the future. You are scared of all the uncertainty of the world. Especially our world that was filled with nothing but plots behind the backs."

She looked down, he saw through her instantly. Just with her crying like that, breaking down. He had seen through all the emotions she had been trying to hide.
