Dimensional Descent

Chapter 2978 Mental State

Leonel put Aina down and hugged her tightly. At that moment, silently, a burden that he had been holding onto for a long while was put down. He didn't even sense that his wife was naked, and there wasn't the slightest bit of lewd thoughts in his mind anymore.

The last lingering influence of his future self vanished like wisps in the air, and all of the guilt that wasn't his own to bear disappeared along with it.

He would never again be faced with losing his wife in this life.

He held onto her tightly, listening to her breathing, feeling the beat of her heart, the warmth of her skin.

Aina could feel Leonel's emotion and her eyes couldn't help but tear up. She silently laid on his chest, her breathing even and at peace.

She could also sense that the last lingering darkness in Leonel's heart had vanished.

Leonel's mental state was contradictory a lot of the time, but this was just how the human mind worked. He loved his father, but he had never felt as much guilt toward his death as compared to Aina's. That was because his father was his idol, a man he felt was above all things. If his father died, it was because he wanted to.

That idolization was a double-edged sword.

On the one hand, it made Leonel take his death hard, so much so that he had practically become an entirely different person.

But on the other hand, it helped him avoid the fate of falling into an endless pit of despair, facing off guilt because he hadn't been able to help his father in those final moments.

Sure, there were some feelings of inadequacy, but they were ultimately drowned out by that feeling of despair and unwillingness.
