113 – In the Yard

That night, accompanied by a small bonfire, Eric huddled near the grave he had just made. His gaze blankly stared at the makeshift gravestone from the tomb of Hans, his former comrade in the Congraylham colony.

"Will you forgive me, Hans?" After being silent for a long time, he finally whispered. "I just want to be with my dad again, you know..."

Erich stopped his speech, then lowered his head, fell silent again.

Maybe what he felt now was the same as how I felt about losing Pif.

Perhaps Hans didn't deserve it because he just wanted to survive and was forced to steal. However, what can I do? If I hadn't told Kat to kill him, this guy would probably still have died from blood loss and many arrows in his body. By finishing him off immediately, I gave him mercy instead. He didn't have to suffer before his life was completely lost.
