Did you know that because of what you did there, Petunia sacrificed all of her resources into making that reverse potion that could potentially save her?" Gem asked but Heize could not answer because she just had access to these memories and it was not a good one.

She thought she deserves a beating for it and what other way to get a beating from something bad you caused than getting scolded by a literal child?
