The Author's POV

Chapter 391

'What happened to me?'

I don't quite remember. My mind was hazy, and my body hurt all over.

"Haaa…"

I breathed out, and my eyes slowly opened up.

The first thing I saw once I opened my eyes, was the full moon hanging in the sky. Next to it were the millions of stars sorrounding it.

'Beautiful'

I thought.

Alone in the sky surrounded by many different stars, a deep sense of tranquility enshrouded my mind.

"You back to normal?"

It was faint, but I could hear a familiar voice next to my ears.

I turned my head, and my eyes soon paused on a figure. Leaning against a broken tree, with his arm on his knee, Kevin looked at me.

"Looks like you've recovered."

A fait smile hung on his face.

'Ah…'

It was then that fragments of memories started flooding my mind, and I was able to understand what had just happened.

Without saying anything, I covered my face with my arm and proceeded to turn my head back to its previous position.

'I lost it.'

I knew that there was going to be a chance that I would lose myself when confronting Aaron. It was also because of this that I chose to handle the situation as quickly as possible.

Rather than losing myself then, in front of everyone and the Union, I would've rather have lost myself alone, but…

'Why were they here? How could they suddenly show up out of nowhere?'

They weren't supposed to be here.

They weren't supposed to see me in this state...

"Are you not going to say anything?"

Kevin's voice sounded once again.

I wanted to say something. I wanted to tell him a lot of things...but the words just wouldn't come out of my mouth.

"We haven't seen each other for over three years. Everyone here thought you were dead…and the first time we see you again, you suddenly go into this crazy rampage…"

Kevin's words sounded calm. But, as I laid on the ground with my eyes closed, I could feel the sadness hidden within his voice.

'Why is he sad?'

I wondered as my chest stung.

Does he perhaps feel betrayed by what I did? Disillusioned that I was not the same Ren that he previously knew? Maybe.

Silence enveloped the surroundings.

"…You really don't have anything to say?"

Kevin asked as he disrupted the silence.

I shook my head.

What did I have to say? Do I tell them that I'm broken?…That the me that they used to know was no longer there?

'I…I don't know what to do.'

"I somewhat know how you're feeling."

His words made my brows furrow slightly.

Moving my arm down, I peeked through the narrow gap.

Letting out a deep sigh, Kevin lifted his head and stared at the moon in the sky.

"Haa…Ren…I've got many things that I want to say to you…but…"
