In the solitude of my bed, enveloped in my pajamas and blankets, I succumbed to a torrent of tears.
When I awoke, I was confronted with the realization of what had transpired with her. Initially, I struggled to accept the truth, as we had previously discussed our intentions of returning together.
Despite the presence and attempts of comfort from my parents and siblings in recent days, I remained inconsolable, releasing screams of despair.
I can't bear the loss of a loved one.
Controlling my emotions has proven to be a formidable task, especially when love is involved.
Love, an emotion I find myself unable to dictate.
Moreover, this experience has provided valuable insight into my character, revealing my innocence and penchant for prioritizing others above myself. Regardless of my manners towards them, I always strive to give my best. However, everything changed when I encountered her.
"It's you, just stay the way you are and there are something you get to know over time. As there are certain aspects that you have yet to discover with time."
The words you utter resonate deeply within me.
"Sena, you appear as exquisite as ever." To be truly honest, I had not deemed myself to possess such attractiveness. I simply remain true to my authentic self.
However, your flattering words bring me immense joy and contentment, as they reassure me that you only have eyes for me and I am yours.
From the moment we mutually acknowledged our feelings, you demonstrated that I am not alone.
I fondly recall our initial outing together, during which you charmingly consulted a book to navigate the various locations, I find it endearing. Each day spent with you has been an absolute delight.
Every day it's so fun with you.
Is it impossible to return?
I already yearn for your genuine smile and your embrace, which are truly unparalleled.
The gentle way in which you touch me is something I deeply miss.
I always desired to be by your side, engaging in activities and experiences together. I wanted to be by your side as much as possible so I did things with you.
"Rin, I still remember all the memories we spent together and we shared. ...You... assured me that you would forever remain by my side."
Though we may hold on with great strength, there inevitably comes a time when we stumble and falter.
It is not that we are not meant for one another, but rather that we yearn to be together for eternity.
Is this situation unfair, or is it simply a reflection of life's complexities?
Where did our paths diverge? We share a deep love for each other, yet somehow find ourselves at a crossroads.
I am at a loss of what steps to take next, but I have resolved that she will be my last love.
Lost in thought, I was interrupted by a knock on my door.
"Sister-in-law?" I rose from my seat cautiously, making my way to answer the door.
"Istera... how... may I be of service to you?"
"...Ayla wishes to see you."
In the midst of it all, I had forgotten about our precious child.
I feel immense shame in myself.
"I will go see her... By any chance, have you seen any of Rin's belongings?"
My parents had informed me that they had ventured into the dungeon.
"We used our ability and capabilities to search through the sands, only to come across dangerous monsters but no sign of her."
"...Thank you for sharing this information."
"Yes... I shall take my leave now."
Asen's POVThose dearest to us can disappear in an instant, leaving behind only the lingering ache.
Saying goodbye is never easy.
Sometimes, I wish I had never been brought into existence, for the world seems to revolve in an endless cycle of joy and sorrow.
It can be challenging to confront reality. Despite our deep love for our siblings, there are moments where we struggle to connect with them. All we can do is demonstrate our good intentions and assure them that we are on their side, through both the good and bad times, much like the ebb and flow of the tide.
The morning has already arrived, and today we find ourselves comforting Ayla, despite our inner turmoil.
My brother, who serves as a Holy Knight, has neglected his duty due to something he overheard from us.
Originally, we intended to keep the incident hidden from Ayla since she is just a child, and it would not be beneficial for her well-being to be aware of such events.
Nevertheless, we cannot expect her to be oblivious to our conversations.
Fort: "We are here, Ayla... Everything will be alright, your mom will be here soon."
I was informed by my sister that our sister-in-law would be arriving at Arcadia land, and so we waited in the living room, standing, while I held Ayla in my arms.
"waahh... un... wahhhh..."
"...Ayla, we are here."
"How is she?"
She has now arrived, and I passed the child over to her.
"Ayla, I am present. Please refrain from shedding tears," she uttered while embracing her.
"...Mom... please, let's go to the dungeon... I can perceive the flow of mana," she said while whimpering.
"Pardon me?"
We fell into a brief silence, overwhelmed by a glimmer of hope.
Now that I contemplate upon it, she can perceive the mana flow, even in the absence of sight.
Why did we only consider this now?
Even at present, I find it difficult to accept the demise of my sibling.
Is it imperative for us to ascertain the validity of every aspect?
"Brother! Communicate this matter to our parents and grandparents associated with the esteemed Lucifer Family! They were convening a meeting today. We must revisit the 30th floor of the Dungeon!" I exclaimed to my brother, who promptly teleported as a surge of optimism embraced us.
Is it necessary for us to witness the veracity firsthand?
