Scalding tears streamed down Ilana's cheeks, one after another falling onto Ophelia's face.
"Stop talking... I never blamed you at all! It wasn't your fault! If you were at fault, then I am as well, for failing to notice Anjie's and Miss Lassitina's plot and instead dragging you into such a dangerous situation because of my own problems!"
Why did the one who truly should apologize never say sorry, even preferring to die rather than bear their own mistakes?
Instead, it's the kind-hearted who generously bear the guilt that isn't theirs, even fearing that the little time left is insufficient for repentance.
Is there justice in this world?
Ilana had never prayed so earnestly.
She prayed for the God's blessing—
She was willing to offer eternal devotion, only hoping for a miracle to descend, taking Miss Ophelia and Bain, Senior Hard away from here!
Watching as that always calm face was blurred by tears, a soft smile suddenly appeared on Ophelia's face.
