The crescent moon high in the sky was gradually covered by dark, drifting clouds.
Inside of a large park, the night lamps lit the surroundings, disconnecting the darkness that had spread throughout the environment.
"hu..."
Sitting on a bench, the faint rhythmical breathing of a youth disrupted the tranquil and silent surroundings.
"ah!"
Waking up, I found myself sitting on a bench in the middle of the park.
Squinting my eyes to familiarize myself with the lighting coming from the lamps, I rubbed my forehead.
Instantly, I recalled everything that had happened inside of my consciousness...
"Fuuuu..."
As I did, I took a deep breath.
To think Ren's story was so tragic...
To have his own best friend turn into a villain and in the process have him curse his very own parents as well as blackmailing him into doing his bidding...
'Tragic' was the perfect word to describe what he went through.
Remembering Ren's lonely figure as he went through his memories inside of my consciousness, I recalled focusing my attention towards his eyes.
...Those eyes filled with sorrow and loneliness as he shared his memories with me.
Thinking back, all of this wouldn't have happened if Matthew didn't sign a pact with a demon and became a villain...
As soon as he made a pact with a demon in exchange for power, Matthew lost control of his emotions...and by letting his emotions overtake his sanity, Matthew must've discarded all his previous feelings for Ren and the people he was close with for the sake of that power
...In doing so, he chose to destroy Ren's life.
The one person that never abandoned him...

As I was staring at the moon in deep thought, my phone rang.
"..hm?"
Looking at the phone log, I instantly noticed a large notification appearing before me.
