Moving

[Joseph's P.O.V]

I understand that they've been replaced by a new batch, taking the place of my previous equipment that were destroyed.

What should my feelings be? Excitement, anticipation, and joy. I had undoubtedly shattered my dreams with my own hands, but the woman I loved, Amanda, slowly began picking up the pieces, silently assembling them back together for me.

"Amanda, you... I..." I started to stammer. In her presence, I truly didn't know how to express my gratitude. However, I couldn't hold back my tears. "But I can't use my knowledge to save you."

Guilt and self-blame consumed me. I felt undeserving of these tools. I had used them to create many treatments for complex diseases, but when it came to Amanda's condition, I was utterly helpless.
