Third Arc (Fallen Heart) - 314. Support
Angel squeezed her hand in reassurance. "I promise, Rose. We'll be cautious and strategic. We won't walk into any traps. We'll uncover the truth, but we'll do it on our terms."
He felt an immense happiness wash over him, not just because he had finally uncovered some crucial clues, but also because of Rose's unwavering support and belief in him. Her acceptance and willingness to help meant more to him than words could express. The fact that she trusted him completely, even when his words might have sounded delusional to others, filled him with gratitude.
Rose had not only listened to his account of the vision but had also provided valuable input and guidance without a hint of doubt or skepticism. This was something he desperately needed. Trust. In the years since his father's death, he had been on a relentless quest for answers, often feeling isolated and misunderstood. The trauma of witnessing his father's death had marked him deeply, and his early attempts to share what he had seen had been met with doubt and disbelief.
His uncle had been the first to question him, casting suspicion on his account and his identity was a fake. Those doubts had cut deeply, making Angel hesitant to speak of the incident to anyone else. He had carried his knowledge and his quest for justice alone for so long that Rose's belief in him now felt like a lifeline.
Rose flicked her eyes over Angel's face, noting the unusual tranquility that had settled there. It was a rare sight—Angel looked peaceful and calm. Her gaze traveled down to his hand, seeing how he gripped his own hand tightly, almost as if holding on to something precious. She couldn't ignore the soft, contented smile that played on his lips, a contrast to his usual intense and brooding demeanor.
"Angel, what happened?" she asked gently, her voice filled with curiosity and concern.
Angel glanced up at her, the smile widening slightly. "Nothing," he replied, his tone light and almost playful.
Rose arched an eyebrow, clearly not convinced. "Nothing?" she echoed, a hint of skepticism in her voice. "You don't usually look this... serene. Something must have happened."
Angel let out a soft chuckle, shaking his head slightly. "It's just... everything feels right, for once. The clues we've found, your support—it's more than I could have hoped for."
Rose's expression softened, and she reached out to place a comforting hand on his arm. "You've been carrying this burden for so long. It's no wonder you feel a sense of relief. But I can tell there's more to it than that."
Angel took a deep breath, feeling the warmth of her touch. "You're right," he admitted. "I've spent so many years searching for answers, doubting myself, and facing disbelief. But now, with you by my side, I feel like I'm finally on the right path. Your belief in me, your willingness to help—it means everything." Those words flowed out of Angel's mouth smoothly, almost effortlessly, yet they sounded strange even to his own ears. He had never made such a heartfelt confession before, not to anyone. The raw honesty of his feelings, the vulnerability he was showing, was foreign territory for him.
Rose's eyes softened as she took in his words. She had always known there was a depth to Angel that he rarely showed, a core of emotions that he kept tightly guarded. To see him open up like this was both surprising and profoundly moving.
"Angel," she said gently, "I think you need to take a rest. You've been through a lot today, and you deserve a break. Let's continue this tomorrow with fresh minds."
Angel considered her suggestion. The emotional rollercoaster of the day, combined with the mental strain of examining the bracelet and reliving old traumas, had taken its toll. He nodded, acknowledging the wisdom in her words. "You're right. I could use some rest."
He reached for the bracelet one last time, his fingers lingering on its cool surface. Carefully, he placed it in a drawer on his desk, ensuring it was safe and out of sight. The bracelet had revealed much, but there were still many unanswered questions, and he knew the journey was far from over.
