บท 148: So the Medicine is Bitter

When Alla saw the letter perfectly preserved, her expression slightly faltered.

When did she become disappointed in him?

It was when he held her, doing intimate things with her, yet he told her, "Do not delude yourself into thinking I will love you." That sentence made her understand that she was nothing to him, just a tool to vent his frustration.

But now…

She raised her eyes and looked at the now out-of-control Casiano. In her memory, he was always aloof, never like this. This made Alla unable to understand him; when they were together, he was unloving towards her. 

Now, however, he was holding the snippets of sentences she had written and questioning her, "What do these represent?"

What do they represent?

They represent termination. 

She wrote these to warn herself that he did not love her. When her pen stopped, it was over.
