"..."
Walking beside felt... odd.
It felt as if I were a puzzle piece, being forced in the wrong place.
I had nothing to show for my time in this world: no true connections, relationships, or memories, didn't I?
So then, what was this?
Why did I feel part of something?
I had helped Leo, only to save myself. If he hadn't unlocked the ability to use his mana sword during our time in the dungeon, Carissa would have likely died, destroying the future.
I had also saved Carissa for the same reason, just to help myself.
I had used Haerin to clear the vault so that I could get rich.
I had manipulated Serena so that, in the future, I could reap the benefits of her amazing inventions.
Yet...all these people seemed to see it a different way?
Is it ok?
Is ok for me to be with them?
It wasn't like I truly cared for any of these people, was it?
Lost in my thoughts, I began to trail behind the group as we walked to the dining hall, until finally a voice snapped me back to reality.
