章節 164: The Brother I buried Underground

It was more difficult than I thought.

Every cell in my body wanted me to rip into a blood vessel and have my brother drink. But Arthur's voice stopped me.

How could I argue with that when I knew that they'd side with Arthur and ask me to do the same had they been in his shoes?
