The next morning, Isabella woke with puffy eyes and a sore heart. The wounds of the past, which had healed, were torn open and bleeding again.
"Why... must it happen again?" she muttered hoarsely, staring blankly at the ceiling.
[DING!!!]
[There are still many people who love Host, so don't ever feel alone. A traitor doesn't deserve Host's tears]
Phoenix's words reminded Isabella that life must go on. No one can stop her from moving forward and doing good for everyone.
"You're right, System. I don't want to be depressed just because of this," Isabella said firmly, that this was nothing and couldn't stop her from moving forward and spreading her wings. "I'm Isabella Clark. I won't be defeated by this pain."
"System, I want to check in today. And, please display my panel status," Isabella ordered, sitting on the edge of the bed, trying to gather her mental strength.
