Healing Trip (part 2)

I said very sternly at him, and Nico was still silent.

 

Even last night, Nico came under the heavy rain with the same grim expression on his face. He has been blaming himself for leaving me alone with the psychopath, and ended up causing my mother's death. He firmly believes that he can change things if he was present, and I know that will not be the case.

 

Whether or not Nico was present when I fought Ezekiel didn't matter. The outcome will still be the same, only that Nico might also end up getting killed alongside Mom.

 

It wasn't that Nico was useless. It's that there was nothing he could've done any better than what happened. In terms of uselessness, I am even more useless. Nico is just no better than me.

 

So… it was not his fault. It never was.
