[Sigh... Why do I keep bothering with coming here?]

[That's not it either... I could just not come here and pretend to do so, I mean, no one is forcing nor are they checking if I actually come...]

She mused and replaced the old container with a new one, opening it slightly, hoping the scent would entice Berkah.

[Maybe... I feel responsible for this?]
