Reality

Hearing this, Fu Hao Xin absentmindedly thought for a moment and nodded, feeling like Di Tou's logic was quite right, but a moment later the biting pain that came from being a Shattered Core, the reminder of what he had lost stung from his chest. Clenching a first, Fu Hao Xin found that the cloth in his hand had long since become wet with tears, and as he scrunched into it, liquid began to seep out.

Once again, he was reminded of his harsh reality. Words were nice, thinking about it was nice. Sure, he had 'lived up' to what he wanted to live for, but look at him now. Could he still say he was happy? Could he still say he was able to defend himself? Could he even say he had a good heart anymore?

The current him was so sad, so pathetic, he had to hide behind his fellow students, he had to hide behind Teacher Li. Faced with the scathing words of those who had once praised him, he suddenly found that he wasn't so brave and bold, and could only hide away.
