After hearing the details of Young Aether's rebirth and survival, Jonny's eyes gradually turned red and teary. Before long, tears were freely streaming down his face. Sasha was in an even worse state, her shoulders trembling as she cried openly while clutching a cushion against her chest.
Honestly, the way Young Aether narrated the story, the way he conveyed every emotion and hardship he had experienced... damn, the bastard was frighteningly good at it.
"I-I can't believe you lived through something like that..." Sasha muttered between sniffles, wiping her tears with the back of her hand. "No one should have to go through all of that alone... it must have been so hard... so incredibly hard..."
Maiuri quietly nodded. Although she maintained her usual elegance, the moisture gathering in the corners of her eyes betrayed her emotions as she gently dabbed away her tears.
Meanwhile, the source of everyone's sorrow calmly sipped his tea and ate a cookie.
