บท 900: Rose's Growth

-----

Gustaf smiled back at Rose, as he caressed her head.

"How much has it changed? Tell me… Get all those emotions out, dear… You've been holding them for too long."

"I… I've been holding them, I guess. I've been truly caging them inside of my heart… As I saw everybody talk and interact, deep down, I always wished to join their conversations… I…" Ros cried. "Maybe I truly want to go back to them…"

"Then do it, Rose. Without hesitation… You must let me go."

Rose looked at Gustaf one last time, as her tears were constantly being clean by his handkerchief.

"Will I see you after this? Will I ever see you again?"

"I don't know… I don't know if I am truly real or not. But I know that… I will always be there, watching over you, Rose. Whatever you've done in the past, whatever you regret doing… Make sure to make up for it with good and better actions. Always remember… you are a lady raised by me."
