......
Celeste knew that Gary was depressed and that a proud person like him would definitely be hurt, but she didn't expect him to mind it so much.
She didn't care about her emotions, nor her tired body and mind. She hurried to comfort Gary.
"Don't be like this. I don't mind," She looked at him with reddened eyes, "Gary, don't be so down, okay?"
Upon hearing Celeste's cry, Gary immediately came back to his senses. When he looked into Celeste's reddened eyes that were filled with sparkling tears, he was slightly taken aback.
"It's normal for it to be like this at the very beginning," Celeste explained softly, "In the books, it's stated that you're only like this because you lack experience."
Her face turned red as tears welled up in her eyes.
She felt sorry for him. She was afraid that he would blame himself, and was even more worried that he would not be able to recover from this setback. After all, he was a proud boy.
