System vs Rebirth

In the border town, Sandra and Tristan were packing their luggage, ready for their ultimate trip. Sandra couldn't help but take a look at the sky, saying, "It's about to start, Tristan."

"Yeah. I'm sorry that because of me, you have to go through such a dangerous situation." Tristan nodded while putting the clothes inside his bag.

"Why are you saying it like that?" Sandra shook her head. "When I was sold to the slave merchant, I knew that my fate had been sealed. I would either go to the brothel or become a toy of a rich person. It was so awful that I wanted to die before he even got a chance to sell me. That stopped when I saw you…"

Sandra recalled their memory with the slave merchant. "I saw you continuously looking at something. I couldn't help but wonder why you would do something like that even though you would end up getting beaten every day. When we finally met Master, that was the time I realized that you had never given up. Unlike me, who resigned to my fate, you were trying to become stronger so that you could live a better life."

"That's—" Tristan wanted to say that he could do that because of her, who kept treating his injury.

However, Sandra continued, "When I saw you doing everything to save me, I felt like I should also do something. Unlike you, who have the goal of becoming a great person as Master's disciple, I don't know what I want to do in the future."

Tristan suddenly walked to her and grabbed her hand.

"Eh?" Sandra was startled, but she soon found Tristan's solemn face.

"Don't say that. If you don't know, then keep walking forward. We will survive this and live a long life. I'm sure that you can think of what you want to do even if it's not now."

Facing Tristan's sincere feelings, Sandra couldn't help but smile, saying, "Yes. It seems that I have become too sentimental. Let's continue packing our luggage. We have to reach the edge of the town in one hour."

Tristan nodded with a serious expression. For Tristan, Sandra's help was something like a miracle. Without her, he might have died or been severely injured to the point he could only wait for his death. On the other hand, Tristan had been an inspiration for Sandra.

Without them realizing it, they had both leaned on each other.
