What am I to deserve this?
"You always save me... Yeonwoo."
"! Simon!"
With those words, Simon lost consciousness.
Ellie, barely managing to stay seated under Simon's weight, looked surprised. He knew the name that even she had forgotten. How?
The unconscious Simon remained silent. Seeing Simon with his eyes closed without any guard, suddenly a voice came to her.
'If you touch Yeonwoo, you'll all die!'
That voice from her childhood days, the only one who stood by her side, cold on the outside but always warm inside.

"Hey, Rachel Lee! I heard you got sent back again?"
"From now on, just stay cooped up in the attic! Don't take away our chances for nothing!"
Despite the words bordering on verbal abuse, Rachel could only quietly bow her head. It was her fault that she had been adopted, taking away her friends' chances, and that she had already been sent back three times after failing to please her new parents.
