The cry that lasted almost an entire minute came to an end as the two girls sat side by side on the swing that creaked each time they wiped the tears on their faces. After letting out the sorrow, pain, anger, and regret that accumulated in their heart, Hina's face regained a bit of its color.
Opposite of what happened to Hina. Kaede's face still retains its gloomy appearance, for she still carries the guilt that crushed her heart. She kept her gaze down, not having any courage to lift it. Her limbs lost strength as she prepared for what would come before her.
The thing that she had done was truly unforgivable, even from her perspective. So even though Hina wouldn't forgive her, she will accept it and live the rest of her life holding onto that sin.
