System vs Rebirth

"This is your room, Young Master." Elsa opened the door for Noel.

"Thanks." Noel smiled and entered the room, looking at the nostalgic room.

Elsa also felt the nostalgia from Noel and left the room. "Then, please excuse me."

"Mhm." Noel nodded while looking around. The familiar table, bed, and window position. He was small at that time, so he had to use the chair to look outside. But this time, he could simply reach for the window and look at the town.

This was one of the reasons why he loved being in this room. He could see the bustling street that was the exact opposite of his laziness.

Every time he visited, he would be with his parents. This time, however, he stood here alone, watching the bustling city.

Noel's expression contained his sorrow and loneliness. He thought that he should have spent more time with his family instead of lazing around. He should have accepted their invitation every time they visited this place.

Unfortunately, no one knew regret until they experienced it. And Noel was too late to realize it as his parents were no more.

He closed his eyes for a moment, recounting all those images in his mind. He subconsciously clenched his fists and muttered in a low voice, "Don't worry, Father, Mother. I'm going to exact my revenge. I'm sorry that I couldn't spend more time with both of you, but I have to move on. Sorry and thank you, Father, Mother."

He took a deep breath while trying to brush this thought so that he didn't show it to this family. Although it was fine, he believed it would just bother them.

Unbeknownst to him, there was an old man leaning his back on his room's door. He also had a sad expression. Despite Noel's volume, he could hear it just fine.

It took him a while before he straightened his back and knocked on Noel's door.
