[Father is calling you!]
[ACCEPT]
[DECLINE]
Exhaustion caught on Ren when he stopped working, and he alround from the sudden dizziness For a time, he saw burn spots before he took a deep breath and cal He huffed a shaky breath as he looked at his screen Ren had to ad his father He was thinking of calling hiold, and he couldn’t stop now
However, his past memories interfered with his decision, and he pressed the [ACCEPT] button It ive hi happened to his family because he prioritizedthebreaths
There was silence for a moment before his father said in a serious tone, “Ren, are you okay?”
Ren was baffled why his father’s question and asked, “Yeah Why?”
“Leonel toldhard”
“” Ren shut his eyes tight
LEO!
He should have known that friend of his would go to his father if he wouldn’t get his ith him
“I’m not, dad Don’t worry”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes”
“Then tell ht now?”
Ren couldn’t speak for seconds before he said in a low voice, testing the waters, “I’ht?”
“Yes” Ren wasn’t sure if Leonel spoke about the game with his parents, so he was careful with his replies
There was a slight pause on the other line, and Ren heard his father sigh
“Working hard is good, and all but do reuilty about taking breaks You deserve it”
“” Ren knew his father to be straightforward and didn’t show any e to him, and the last time they talked for more than a minute was before he left Zone C It was usually his mother who always spoke with hi from his father cut deep into his heart
It was only then that Ren’s whole body stopped, and his muscles relaxed The tension in his bones and the pressure in his heart dissipated at his father’s rare words of co to s that big lump but failed miserably as he choked “AhI’ll keep that in mind”
“Good ThenWe’ll see you when your mother and I couys a ticket Call et your leave”
What caered some more before Ren ended the call
Father and son didn’t say their feelings often but didn’t need words to convey them That was their relationshi+p, and Ren was satisfied with it
Ren released a long breath before he raised his head to the ceiling A minute passed, and he just looked at the stone-covered walls He thought about his past actions, and he got to adry and pressured because of what happened in Illusion Forest
He didn’t knohy he got that rattled Though there was a s Evie’s beautiful face before he is away
What he felt towards her was guilt She was the person he owed the most because he ruined her life And orse, it was intentional because of his own selfish desires He kneas going to happen to her but he still went and exposed her identity anyway
She deserved sonar not a person as selfish as hiht His adrenaline was doused, and his oal for the day was sated
He felt like he only wanted to be subed in a hot bath and enjoy a e of the festival struck his head
Maybe he would go after all?
