Philip quietly listened. Conrad thought for a moment before speaking again. "How about looking at it this way?"
Philip raised his head. Conrad continued,
"Don't force yourself to forget those memories. Instead, accept that the person in those memories no longer exists. The Thessy you loved belonged to your past. The Thessy standing in front of you today... is no longer the same person."
Philip gave a helpless smile. "Easy for you to say."
He leaned his head against the window. As he closed his eyes, countless memories flashed through his mind.
Thessy laughed and sometimes cried. She called him 'Brother.'
But mixed among those memories... another face gradually appeared. Lana.
Her calm expression. Her maturity. The countless times she had quietly endured everything without asking anyone for help.
His emotions became even more complicated.
