Reunion After Mess II

Brittany sat beside Lily, her gaze fixed on the grave. King Roderick, maintaining a respectful distance, stood behind the two women.

"You know, Brittany?" Lily said, her voice soft and contemplative. "I was never this close to Sebastian, yet I feel his loss so deeply."

"Even as a fellow hero, I always kept a certain distance from him. I was the only one who could calm him down when he lost control, but I always felt so far from him, even when I stood right beside him," Lily continued, her voice tinged with a hint of sadness.

Brittany remained silent, allowing Lily to express her feelings. She understood the complexities of their relationship, the delicate balance between duty and affection. She had witnessed firsthand the bond between Lily and Sebastian, a bond forged in shared battles and mutual respect. But she had also sensed the distance, the unspoken emotions that lingered beneath the surface.
