Chapter 79

"I'm sorry."

The brothers said nothing. They simply stared at their father, unable to utter a single word.

Their father continued, "If I hadn't gotten carried away, things wouldn't have ended this way. I shouldn't have used my own sons as experiments…"

"It was also my fault," said Isuru. "After all, I started Aqua Chrysalis in the first place. I began this whole mess. I didn't realize it would ruin our family like this."

"I have wronged both of you. Forgive me…"

"Father…"

"Live peacefully. Don't be bound to the past. It's not something you can change."

He looked at me and smiled before closing his eyes. He stopped moving afterwards.

Isuru checked for his pulse. There was none. He was gone.

The brothers remained silent. As they stood still, I watched them from a short distance. After several minutes, Mako walked out of the room and never returned. None of us bothered to run after him. Isuru, on the other hand, just stood frozen in place.

I waited for him to finally move.
