When Leon Battleson spoke to this point, Charlotte Thompson noticed that his fingertips were actually trembling slightly.
This made Charlotte think of the wounds on his arm.
"Justin Battleson's mother died and he was brought to Stardust Garden. In the eyes of outsiders, Oliver Battleson almost gave all his love to me. But do you know? That's not the case."
Leon Battleson revealed to Charlotte things she hadn't investigated, speaking eerily calm words.
"Because he gradually realized what he had really done wrong, but he blamed me and my mother, and abuse and insults became commonplace for my mother and me."
When Leon Battleson looked up this time, the look in his eyes was one Charlotte had never seen.
Those once very beautiful eyes were now like a dried-up well, yet seemingly revealing a vortex that wanted to swallow everything it looked upon.
"On my sixth birthday, Oliver Battleson gave me a birthday gift I'll never be able to forget for the rest of my life."
