My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

I didn't know what to make of lan's situation, so I watched him open a bottle of wine and started drinking on his own.

Failing to hold back, I decided to join in for some sips and told him, "Why don't you settle in Ucrebury in the future? Monique and I are here. We can have each other's backs." What was gone was gone. Only a few people would stay with us for a lifetime.

lan took a few more swigs, and I could tell he was in a bad mood.

"We'll see what the future brings. I'm really envious of the relationship between you and Monique. Despite losing your family, you both really cared for each other."

What between Monique and me was no longer mere friendship. We only had each other. We were family.

The red wine was quite strong. I stopped drinking after a few sips, and it was before I realized lan had finished a bottle in a flash. "That's enough! This wine is strong." Worriedly, I warned him.

He was flushed, and he looked tipsy as he reached for another bottle of wine. But he sounded sober. "Don't worry, I won't die! It's not like anyone cares if I die anyway."
