"I fell in love, mama." Coco repeated, her voice breathy and shaky as she pulled her hands away from her eyes.
"I realized that I fell in love." She whispered, a quiet giggle escaping her lips. "Then, suddenly, everything became bright again.. I don't feel pain anymore, I found a reason to live.. You know, the cringe and cliche things that happen in movies?"
Cleora swallowed thickly, shifting her weight to her other leg.
Just what is happening?
Is Coco saying all these things because she wanted her mother to know what happened all these months? Is Coco saying everything that had happened because she wanted to prove something?
Cleora doesn't know what Coco wanted, but she stayed quiet and listened.
"I was so hurt when I found out that Quizen probably has someone he likes." Coco laughed bitterly, shaking her head. "So, I stayed at the guild and just hunted monsters after monsters."
She raised her head and looked at her mother, making Cleora flinch.
