239 ※ His Straightforwardness [I]

Check out the characters and the spirits' arts in the auxiliary chapters, and let me know if you wish for the art of another character I haven't done yet.

Thank you for the 500k, guys.

I'll update daily until the end of book 1, hopefully you'll stay with me and Nat 🤗

{"Why did you leave like that?"} Chaos asked after three minutes as I got to the inner garden in a rush, needing some oxygen, clean oxygen away from other... humans.

"I'm overwhelmed and uncomfortable," I sat down, being honest for once. "Dad was right, I don't know how to accept other people, how to let them in, I'm broken in that department and I don't know how to fix it. For wherever reason, all these powerful kids want to get closer to me and I... I don't know what to do. They are not people I can be bluntly rude to just to keep them away, and having them close in a way, will be advantageous to me, but I... I'm not made for this."
