In general, I don’t like the idea of settling the matter of failure with execution as a way of taking responsibility for it. I find it troubling that people’s lives can be treated so casually.
For the first time, I saw Finn reacting as he heard my lines. As I was trying to decipher his indescribable emotions, the source of all evils emerged from the depths of the staircase.
“Oh, I see you’ve woken up. I was getting worried because you were sleeping for so long. Well then, your job ends here. You should ask the people outside for information.”
“…”
“Hmm? What’s the matter? If you’re worried that I might kill Lilius, please rest assured. He’s my very precious only family member. I wouldn’t do such a thing as killing him. Or are you going to abandon your family and comrades again to take this child away?”

“…I see. In that case, I will take my leave. We will probably never meet again.”
Leaving those words behind, Finn vanished as if melting into the dim light. Silence returned to the room, and my sister walked up to me, tied up like a fool in the center of the room.
“Now then, it’s only family members present. Shall we talk?”
“What’s there to talk about? Just because you were jealous of me, you came back? You’re such a pitiful person.”
“Even if you say hurtful things, they’re just cute. My beloved doll, it’s just the two of us here. Stop pretending not to remember and let’s have a real conversation.”
“…What? I haven’t been pretending.”
“…”
Why? While it’s a fact that I don’t remember, my sister seemed slightly flustered by my words.
Note from the Author: From here, various things will become clear, so heavy topics from the past will also come up. If it’s difficult for you, I would appreciate it if you could skip over them smoothly. I plan to compile and respond to comments and comments’ side notes after the completion. (Thank you very much for your cooperation.)
