Chapter 0379

After that long conversation, Theodore felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from his shoulders. Alden, on the other hand, was in shock. What kind of man had his father been to endure something like this? The whole story sounded absurd, yet it had to be true–after all, the man standing before him was his mirror image, or rather, he was a reflection of that man.

It was fascinating to think about who his father had been in the past, but it was clear that neither Peter nor Theodore would tell him.
