The Unstoppable Sinking Heart

In the past, when Joe saw Naomi crying with a pitiful look, he would comfort her immediately. However, now Joe's mood was truly terrible, and he had no intention of consoling Naomi. He stood with his back to Naomi, silently smoking, allowing Naomi to cry in his arms.

"Joe, I'm really useless. I'm nowhere near as good as Cynthia, but I genuinely wanted to help you..."

"I just didn't expect Cynthia to hate me so much, to vent this hatred on you, and even to vent her anger on the entire Louise Corporation. It's all my fault. If it weren't for me suddenly appearing, she wouldn't have ended up like this. If it weren't for me, your relationship wouldn't have become so tense..."

Naomi lay in Joe's arms, silently calculating the time, waiting for Joe's comfort. However, the prolonged waiting made her heart extremely tortured, and an unprecedented uneasiness arose within her.
