I've really made a colossal joke of myself, having spent all this time trying to find Ella Johnson, only to discover she was hiding in my own house. No wonder Atlas Hallow and Charlotte Miller couldn't find her.
Back then, Hailey Hill always dressed in white, her gaze constantly following him. He thought Vivian Hill was a simple girl, never realizing her mind was so complex.
In truth, Atlas Hallow realized it wasn't that he hadn't thought of these things, but rather he had never focused his attention on Hailey Hill.
He never considered what Hailey wanted from him, because Atlas Hallow knew that all he could offer was money.
Before meeting Charlotte Miller, he thought perhaps giving her a child would be enough to atone for his debts in life. This was an extreme expression of his subconscious desire to rid himself of guilt.
Reflecting on this, Atlas Hallow's palms were slick with cold sweat, thankful that he hadn't actually done something so absurd, as he'd regret it for life.
