"But we just got our reunion, bro!" Harvey let out a long and deep sigh, "We oodbye, that's not cool, bro!"

"" Van was slightly taken aback by Beatrice's words Was it really like that? Even he himself did not realize it
"Someday…" Beatrice took in a deep breath as she closed her eyes And after a few seconds, she let out her breath, looking at Van straight in the eyes,
"I will make it up to you"
