"Crying for others is a noble act, but if you cry for him, aren't you crying for the wrong person?"
A third voice emerged in the space.
Roland wasn't surprised; instead, he felt a sense of "finally, it came" with a bit of calm.
The voice was Li Lin's, but compared to the voice he was used to hearing, it lacked elegance and composure, full of a sticky malice in its mocking tone.
"Do not sympathize with your enemy; it will only bring harm to yourself. Moreover, he cannot feel nor understand the meaning of tears."

"Gaia... no, a fragment of resentment?"
