The white void collapsed like a castle of cards.

​

​

​

From the beginning it shouldn't have existed in his mind, it was natural that it happened when he began to erase every trace of his presence.

​

​

​

A necessary sacrifice, a way to make sure he wouldn't change his mind at the last minute.

​

​

​

There's no way to repent.

​

​

​

Even when the data transfer was over and there was nothing left to do, Nathan continued to cry.

​

​

​

Why?

​

​

​

There was no point in asking that question, the person in front of him had the same memories, they both knew what had happened and what was going to happen.

​

​

​

And yet, Nathan couldn't help thinking about how cruel this ending was.

​

​

​

Eden will be happy with him, he will be happy with Eden, he will strive to make that happen.

​

​

​

But what about the figure in front of him?

​

​

​

Still smiling after separating from that desperate hug, he began to back away with steps that seemed to float in the void.

​

​

​

They both hated each other, they knew it perfectly, and yet there was Nathan trying to take his hand.

​

​

​

Lotus's smile didn't diminish.

​

​

​

"Thank you."

​

​

​

Was that a hidden "I'm sorry."?

​

​

​

He's really a fool, isn't he?

​

​

​

Yes, they both always were...
