After hearing those words from Al's lips, tears that have already run dry from my eyes resurface to blur my vision. The tip of my nose stings as those crystal droplets fight to come out, and the lumps form all over my throat, preventing me from uttering even a single word. Not that I have anything to say to begin with. His words just now numb my entire body inside and out. My heart feels like having millions of arrows shooting through it and refusing to come out. Those weapons keep penetrating my organ deeper and torment me with pain.
Like his words just now.
When Eric brought up his past, it hurts me to think that I might have fallen for his trick. Nevertheless, I still had faith in him, for I didn't believe it completely. I planned to ask him about it more when we had time alone.
