As the morning light washed over me, I stared at my reflection in the river that was between Hanazora and the barbarian lands.
There were many things I regret in life.
One of them was having so much knowledge about the future.
Why was I the only one with such a curse?
Why couldn't Kevin also have knowledge of the game?
Why not anyone else?
Am I even on the right side here...?
Should I just join the demons and let everything fall just so I could be with Clementine?
As if on cue, I glanced ahead to Hanazora's side of the river and spotted Clementine.
She merely stood there with her arms crossed.
Morr was also perched on her shoulder nonchalantly.
At first, I thought she might judge me, but instead, she hopped over to my side and hugged me tightly.
Feeling her warmth, I felt like a lump had formed in my throat.
And so, all I could do was hug her back silently.
The silence lasted for a while.
But so did the hug.
