Why?
Why had she made the journey harder?
The question echoed relentlessly inside Yuuta's heart long after the notebook had crumbled into dust. He stood there motionless, unable to tear his eyes away from the empty space where Erza's notes had once been. A hollow feeling slowly spread through his chest, leaving him strangely numb. He couldn't understand it. Erza had been the one who encouraged him to grow stronger. She had entrusted those notes to him herself. Then why would she deliberately make them difficult to understand? The thought gnawed at him until another emotion quietly surfaced.
Betrayal.
It was small at first, but with every passing second it grew heavier.
Why...?
Why would she do this to me?
