章 245: Brief Respite

"I... what the hell are you two getting sad over?"

Kairos tilted his head down before pinching the bridge of his nose. Despite his words, the emotions of both the wolf and Azami didn't change. Eventually, he let out a long breath.

"It's not like your problem or anything."

They didn't respond. In reality, Kairos was mostly talking just to stave off an overwhelming feeling that came over him. But the lack of response made it too hard for him to continue on.

He began silently crying. Something he couldn't even remember the last time he did.

At some point in time, Azami had gone over to him and gave a small hug. At least for a short moment, nobody was able to hold any secrets from each other. And in that same vein, nobody could accuse others of lying.

After all, they all had the proof they needed, whether it was knowing their genuine thoughts or their genuine emotions.
