Those Who Almost Lost a Loved One (1)
1.
Sharon was crouching in the corner.
Seeing her like this brought Siwoo back to the day when she got kicked out of her rooftop apartment.
Except that she looked more depressed than back then.
Even her once flowing and lively hair seemed limp and lifeless.
Siwoo
She called out to him with a shaky voice.
Her appearance looked incredibly frail.
I heard you got hurt because of meare you okay?
It had been a while since he had seen her looking so low-spirited.
Though Sharon had a slightly quirky side, there was always this lively and energetic aura around her, as if that was her life motto.
He wanted to comfort her, so Siwoo sat on the edge of the bed.
Meanwhile, Sharon shook her head after hearing his words.
Im fineIm not hurt or anything, b-but
After stuttering a few more times, her body shuddered as the shocking scene from earlier flashed in her mind.
Her voice and body trembled like a hypothermic patient as she clutched his hand tightly.
I-I thoughtsomething really bad would happen to you! I-I really thought you weregoing to die! H-Hic! Uhh
Her cry almost turned into wail as she snuggled into Siwoos arms.
Fresh scent wafted from her body, Siwoo could feel its softness when he embraced her.
He patted her back to comfort her as her shoulders shook due to her sobs.
It wassoso scary! I-I was so scared! Waaah!
Dont worry, in the end everything turns out fine, isnt it? See? Im perfectly healthy now.
B-But Icouldnt do anything!
Relief, powerlessness, fear and despair enveloped her heart all at once. Sharon found herself tightly clinging to Siwoo.
With him holding her close like this already brought her comfort.
Seeing her like this reminded Siwoo of his own helplessness at the moments when he almost died.
He could relate with her, and so his heart welled up in emotions.
Anger towards Duchess Tiphereth who made Sharon cry, and gratitude towards Sharon herself, who had cared so much for him; Both emotions engulfed his heart.
See? Im doing well. My injuries have all been healed already. So, stop worrying and relax, okay?
M-MmI-Ill try tocalm down
Meanwhile, the twins who had been following Siwoo all this while only watched the scene from behind.
Odile nudged Odettes side, grabbed her wrist and quietly closed the door.
Knowing that it wasnt a good time to make a fuss, Odette stayed silent for a good while before finally breaking the silence with a question.
Why?
Just let Unnie be. She needs to let her emotions out, more than us
But, I want to be hugged by Mr. Assistant too
Didnt you already do that with him yesterday?!
That was only to get even with you, Sis!
The twins settled onto the comfy living rooms couch.
It had been quite a day for them.
When they thought about Siwoo lying helplessly on the rooftop, their hearts started to race.
The memory brought back the traumatic experience of them having to face the Witch of Aquarius back in Gehenna.
Anyway, right now Unnie needs Mr. Assistant more than we do. We should be considerate.
But I have a bad feeling about all this! Something just doesnt feel right!
Same here, but what can we do? Mr. Assistant helped us before, and hell continue to do so.
Odile knew from her master of the state Siwoo was in when he returned to the modern world.
He was practically stranded, unable to form normal relationships with humans due to his ties to the world being severed.
Moreover, he had to face the danger of being targeted by Homunculi and Exiles.
When she first saw Sharon, she felt that she was being betrayed by Siwoo and she was a little bit angry at him, but at the same time, she felt thankful towards Sharon.

Eloa moved her gaze around with a blank expression on her face.
Just a hundred years ago, this eastern part of the world was merely a countryside. One could only see mountains and fields everywhere. But now, it has totally changed.
Tall buildings that stood tall, facing the heavens, bending the earth itself to accommodate dozens of their kinds. Millions of people that lived in the intricate cityscape that was akin to spider web.
Yet, she had no lenience to indulge in sentimental feelings toward this change. Let alone that, she didnt even have the spare energy to desperately search for the culprit of the incident, even though it was something that she had to do.
Instead, she simply went along with the flow, following where her feet would take her, all while concealing her true emotions.
She genuinely thought that she had found Ea Sadalmelik.
Put anyone else in the situation she was in back then, they would definitely share the same sentiment as her, or at least theyd feel suspicious towards the man called Siwoo.
Even after what happened, Eloa still wasnt able to drop her suspicion towards him.
However
Even though it was possible that her dying lifelong goal could be resurrected, she failed to find any motivation to actually resurrect it.
Because of the sharp voices that echoed from the depths of her worn-out heart.
[I-It isnt much! I-I dont really have muchbbut Ill give it all to you! S-Siwoo really isnt someone whod do something so heinousa-and I know youre a good person, Duchessy-youre just not in the right mind nowp-please dont do something that youll come to regret later]
Those were the words of a green-haired exile who offered her entire future to save the man as she pleaded desperately to her.
[Hes a guest of our household! Theres no way hes involved in this incident! Hes not the kind of man whod even start something like this!]
Those words came from the rare burst of anger from Countess Deneb as she confronted her.
[Did you do this?!]
Those were the words that came out of the apprentice witchs mouth as she accused her.
She could see her own reflection in that apprentices intense eyes.
At that moment, the image of Ravi overlapped with that apprentice.
And at the same time, it dawned upon her that she almost became a villain who was about take the life of someone dear to that apprentice.
I
Eloa sank down, wrapping her arms around herself.
I thought I did the right thing
Maybe, if I could at least offer a hand to those who lost someone precious to them, it would bring them solace
But noweverythingI dont know anymore
All sorts of boundaries became unclear.
What was the right thing to do and what wasnt.
The thing that she should have done and the thing she shouldnt.
Justice and revenge.
Victims and perpetrators.
Wisdom and hubris.
Compassion and selfishness.
As those boundaries dissolved, they churned within her in a form of nausea.
It felt like she was about to fall down.
I want to run away
Theres no need to pass on the brand anyway
Ravi Tipherethis my only apprentice
The name Tipherethwill end with me
No.
She slowly stood up.
With all her strength, she gathered the shards of her shattered heart and steeled her resolve.
She knew that this was futile. A lifeless puppet wouldnt come to life just because one attached some strings to it.
Theres something that needs to be done.
It wont be too late to wrap things up after everything has been confirmed.
I havent cleared all the suspicions yet.
Thats whyI need to find that man
Eloa soared into Seouls night sky.
To look for clues and bring everything to an end.
The pale moon that decorated the night looked as if it was weeping silently.nove(l)bi(n.)com
