When I confirmed that every last one of the enemies around me is dead, my wooden sword drops to the ground from my shaking fingers.
I turn and gaze at my mother's prone body, her back towards me, on the ground. As I head closer to her, I pass by Father's dead body and stopped in my tracks.
I clench my jaw and close my eyes shut for a moment, feeling a pinch in my heart.
Despite conditioning myself not to feel when it comes to these two people, to save myself from further hurt, I guess I haven't conditioned myself well enough for this moment. Because I can feel the pain inside in my chest that I just lost Father, it just shows that I still harbor their affection until the very end.
Even though, I know I won't be able to achieve it no matter how much or how hard I try.
But...this is no
