Chapter 123 Iris’s ue

After Tanya prepared my bed for me, I lay down for a bit

And then after she left, I went to the balcony

Although it was a bit unseeht…at least that’s what I told ht sky, and looked at the street

It was quite dark I couldn’t make much out

It was the darkness of a world without electricity

But even that kind of darkness made me happy

“…a wish that I can’t abandon, hm? Like an idiot…”

I clenched ly tears It was only because I didn’t have to worry about being seen by others that I could allow an expression like that onto my face

My whispers echoed, then dissipated in the darkness

More and more tears flowed down my face

With the tears came the sobs that I triedwhat Tanya said

It was actually the opposite

Tanya’s words were a signal todeep within my heart was…a wish that I couldn’t abandon

I was the idiot

I had encountered painful, awful experiences, and the emotions that should have been locked away spilled out so easily

How fragile

I had realized it Even though I pretended I hadn’t

I made up excuses, even lied to my own heart
