บท 56: Departure

After the conversation with Arthur, Draven returns to the house, determined to start doing the right thing, at least from his perspective. But as soon as he enters the room and sees little Eve hugging Alicia, another thorn forms in his heart, hurting his ego further.

He can't help thinking about how Aria used a Ritual to have Eve, limiting his role to just the use of his seeds. 'Is that why my daughter was never close to me?' He wonders while thinking about how Eve has always been much closer to Aria and especially to Arthur. Their siblings' bond is more powerful than Draven's bond with Alicia at their best moments.

"Eve…" Draven calls his daughter, but as soon as she sees him, the little girl hides behind Aria. She still remembers when he shouted at her mother and brother, leaving a terrible impression of him in her heart.
