Clarence whispered, "Yeah, I’ve seen him."

Stella did not say anything. She could tell it was nothing pleasant just by thinking.

She gently raised her hand, patted his back and comforted him silently.

At length, she whispered, "Let’s go home. I'll cook for you. What do you want to eat?"

Clarence's voice was slightly raised and there was some obvious directivity. "Anything?"

“…”

She should not have pitied him!

Stella loosened her grip and retracted her hand. "Alright, let's go."

Sitting in the car, Clarence looked at her. "Let’s not go home."

Stella asked while driving, "Then where do you want to go?"

Clarence said, "Where do you want to go?"

Stella said seriously, "I want to go home and sleep."

"That’s okay though."

Stella regretted mentioning that and she simply shut her mouth up.

After a few seconds, Clarence entered an address into the navigation panel and said blandly, "Let’s go here."

Stella took a glimpse. "Sure."

That address belonged to somewhere in an old city.

City N was really huge, so huge that Stella felt that she had never been there.

The car drove for an hour before reaching their destination.

After stopping the car, Stella opened the door. What she saw were all dilapidated houses, surrounded by broken walls and were uninhabited. It seemed that no one had lived there for a long time.

The place was so old and desolate as if it had been forgotten, and it was incompatible with the prosperous city.

As Stella was wondering why Clarence would bring her there, he stopped next to her, leaned against the car, looked at the far end and said, "I’ve lived here before the Conrad’s take me back."

Stella was startled and she looked back at him. "You mean here?"

"Yes."
