"Do you understand now?" Nathaniel's voice trembled slightly. He lowered his head like a man carrying the pain of the entire world on his shoulders.
"What you heard earlier… that burden has been crushing me for years."
He let out a long sigh before speaking again in a quieter voice.
"You saw Kathlyin, right? She still has feelings for me…" Nathaniel slowly pressed one hand against his chest dramatically.
"But because she remembers Eli as her own twin sister, she keeps suppressing those feelings deep inside her heart."
He closed his eyes painfully. "Only I know the truth…"
Rosel's small face instantly became emotional.
Nathaniel looked so lonely at that moment that even the sunlight entering from the window seemed sad for him.
"Alas…" Nathaniel whispered while staring toward the ceiling like a tragic hero from an old movie. "I truly do not know what to do with this burden of lo…"
Suddenly Rosel stood up.
