I furrowed my brow, the weight of the tension hanging in the air. I walked over to Yura, placing a hand gently on her shoulder, offering what little comfort I could. “Yura, don’t cry.”

I turned my attention to Timothy, still lying motionless on the stretcher. My voice came out cold, sharp. “Timothy, I didn’t want to say any of this, but you’ve crossed the line with your words.”

“You’ve been teaching in the mountains. The moment she heard about the earthquake, she begged me to come with her and find you. You know the situation there–aftershocks happening nonstop. We risked our lives to find you. Yura almost had an accident while searching for you. Don’t you understand? Can’t you see how much she cares for you?”

Timothy kept his head down, eyes fixed on the ground.

His lips barely moved, but after a moment, he lifted his gaze, his eyes dripping with disdain. “So what?”

He paused briefly, then coldly added, “We’ve broken up. I swore to the Moon Goddess to sever the link we have. The earthquake was my problem. I didn’t ask her to come. I didn’t beg her to risk her life for me. Even if she cried, even if she almost died–so what? That was her choice.”

“No! I can’t accept that!” Yura cried out, her voice frantic. “Why, Timothy? Why are you like this? Tell me why!”

I furrowed my brow again, opening my mouth to speak, but before I could, Ryan shot up, his rage barely contained. His eyes burned with fury as he glared at Timothy.

He pointed at Timothy, his voice seething. “You ungrateful bastard!”

Timothy scoffed, a look of disdain crossing his face. “What? You want to defend Yura now?”

Ryan’s face turned crimson, his fists clenched, ready to lash out. I quickly stepped in, grabbing his wrist before he could make a move.

“Calm down,” I said firmly. “Don’t make this worse. We’ll talk when we get back to Rivemon.”

Despite holding Ryan back, a nagging feeling lingered in my mind. What was really going on with Timothy? There had to be more to this.
