Bab 105

1. "Doyeon!" 2. "Food's ready!"

1. "..." 2. "Sorry..."

1. "...but I'm alright!"

1. It's been days, and I've barely seen her face... 2. It's like she won't come out of her room until I'm gone. 3. Is she avoiding me...?

1. Does she really have to go that far? 2. You'd think I was contagious or something...

1. "If you say so."

1. "And so..." 2. "...we've made sure there's always space available..." 3. "..."

1. "..." 2. "..."

1. "..." 2. "If thy brother sins..." 3. Go and

1. "...go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone." 2. (Matthew 18:15-20) 3. To respect... 4. ...to

1. Forgive... 2. ... And to accept.

1. ""Love thy neighbor as thyself."" 2. (Matthew 22:39) 3. I thought it wouldn't matter who I was or what I'd done...

1. That some things would stay with me regardless. 2. But looking back, I see how blind I truly was.

1. I lasted twenty years and assumed other people could do the same... 2. "But you..." 3. "Of all people, I thought you would stay."

1. It never crossed my mind that you'd be someone who'd leave first.

1. Then again... I'm the one who walked away, aren't I?

1. "Doyeon...?" 2. "I'm home."

1. "I can't tell if she's still ignoring me, or if she's not here at all." 2. I pack up my things and leave tomorrow... 3. "...!"

1. "..." 2. Maybe this is for the best. 3. Leaves no room for what-ifs.

1. "Well..." 2. "Goodbye."

1. "..." 2. "...bye."

1. "..." 2. "Haa..."

1. "Haa..."

1. "Ungh..."

1. No water... 2. I don't think I can swallow the pills without it, though...

1. "Haa..." 2. I feel worse than I did when I got kidnapped... 3. Still, I managed to hold it together. 4. Maybe this'll hurt way less... Not having to say goodbye in person makes it easier.

1. "Haa..." 2. If she saw me now, would she pity me? 3. Maybe that would've kept her here a bit longer.

1. What am I doing? After all that effort to let go, here I am, acting like a kid.

1. "Speaking of "Kids.""

1. "Kinda messed up to act like we're already dead." 2. "Yeah!" 3. "Wow..."

1. "That's right!"

1. "You cut us off! For all you know, we got adopted... Or died out there." 2. "Harsh!" 3. "So much for orphanage friendships!" 4. "Still,"

1. "Still, it makes me happy to see you guys." 2. "Oh, give me a break!" 3. "You think that line's gonna get you off the hook?!" 4. "I do kinda feel bad for her, though..." 5. "Right...?"

1. "Jeez, stop talking to hallucinations, doyeon." 2. "You sound insane."

1. "Pfft..." 2. "But seriously..."

1. "...why didn't you look for us?" 2. "After everything?"

1. "Isn't it obvious?" 2. "I was scared... Scared of what I'd find." 3. "And I was afraid you'd turn me away, and all I'd get was resentment..."

1. "...since you guys are my original sin."

1. "Whoa..." 2. "Dang, she's going full gospel on us now." 3. "Calm down." 4. ""Original sin"? Is that even the right term here?" 5. "...at this point, it's less faith and more of a weird"
