บท 141: Preparing to Leave

"You-" I stopped, looking at her bright smile and teary eyes. "Why though?" I cried out in confusion. I couldn't fathom why and how she'd follow me here.

I forced a faint smile. I wasn't lying – if I gave myself any more time to mourn, I'd never be able to pull myself together in time.

"I see." Mona smiled and stood up. "I guess everyone grieves in a different way." She glanced at the tomb. "The same could be said about that demon, couldn't it?" She asked.
