Chapter 53 The Terrifying Freya

Pannis remained silent, unsure whether he didn't want to answer or couldn't answer Freya's question. He just stared at Christo's statue without a word, as if he were so engrossed in thought it was as if he hadn't heard at all. However, Freya had not expected an answer either; she just smiled casually and whispered, "You don't need to answer. Actually, your behavior has already explained everything, hasn't it? When you find you can't make every person in the play happy, your choice is to refuse to take part in the performance, even if you're already in it. You try your best to isolate yourself from the interactions of the characters, striving to become an observer, watching from a detached perspective as the characters experience sadness and joy. That way, even if the people in the play cannot find happiness, you can reassure yourself that none of this is my fault; their sorrow is not my doing."
