บท 98: The creator of great system

Vio caressed L's head.

Such soft gesture soothed L's panic instantly. She felt safe with him. Was it because he was the developer of the system? Or maybe he was someone she used to know? Without any words, L leaned in, wrapping arms around his back tightly. Vio also caught her in his arms.

And in that embrace, the woman felt a deep, calming warmth that melted away the turmoil of past moments. Her tears flowed freely now, not from fear but from the sheer relief of finally being with Vio. Despite the tears streaming down her cheeks, L's expression was cold.

"I didn't die, right? Tell me I wasn't killed by Caleb Rowane" Death held no fear in her mind; instead, it was the specter of loss that troubled her. She was haunted not by the end itself, but by the dread of defeat. The thought of failing to fulfill her purpose was what truly tormented her.
