With a feeling like a prayer, I was following close behind the two of them as they walked together looking happy.
And then, I saw it.
—Yuzuki entering a hotel with another man.
Time stopped. This is not the Yuzuki I know. I wanted to believe that. I wanted to keep believing it.
However, the sight right in front of me denies everything.
A pain like a cold blade stabbing deep into my chest ran through me. Air will not enter my lungs. The feeling in my legs from the knees down gradually fades away.
(It is over, isn’t it?)
I had no energy left to shout anything, nor any energy left to confront them. Only despair was there.
—However.
“I cannot let it end like this.”
I do not even know who those words were meant for.
However, the moment I spoke them, something snapped deep inside my chest. Just sinking down like this is no joke!
If there is nothing left to believe in, then I will live for my own sake.
If I am betrayed, I will crawl my way back up. From the bottom of despair, using my own strength.
I took a step forward.
To repaint everything.
