Neron seemed to have it all.
Power, looks, talent… the list went on.
Sure, I was more innovative in many ways, but even without me, Neron seemed to be able to do whatever he desired.
Most of all, even though I had faltered many times, he never seemed to make a mistake. He was always calm, unassuming, and completely dependable.
In addition to his power and love for Magic, Neron was able to balance a life of romance… and he was going to get married soon too.
It made me realize...
… Just how empty I was.
Watching Neron also got me thinking.
'If he could balance all of this alongside having a partner… shouldn't I be able to do the same?'
But, I knew the sad truth, and the difference between me and him.
'Neron has no limits. He can do anything. He can achieve both Magic and Love…'
Only one of the above could be mine. Wasn't that the truth?
