My eyes are burning—so hot I can barely focus. This world I tried to protect, these people I fought for... am I about to lose them all over again? And for what, in the end?
I don't know. The words catch in my throat, refusing to come out. No matter how I try, it's impossible to say what I truly feel.
Maybe I made a mistake believing she wouldn't drag everything down with her into hell. Maybe I should have chosen more carefully, acted with more caution. What I should have done... it doesn't matter now. It might already be too late.
I'm sorry, Seong-hoon...
Now, everything I did for you feels like it was all in vain... I thought I'd have a life with you. You know—just you, me, and our friends.
So how... how did I fail again?
"Ice embrace..." Cold words echo in my ears. They come from nowhere, yet everywhere at the same time.
"Seong-hoon...?"
