Chapter 50: Alessandro’s Arrival

When Teresa left the room, leaving me alone after her call to Alessandro, I collapsed again onto the chair, my heart heavy. Everything seemed confusing, unreal, as if I were stuck between two lives.

The faint creak of the door startled me. Ezran entered quietly, closing it behind him with care. He observed me for a moment, motionless, as if hesitating to approach.

"Hey," he finally murmured, his voice soft as a caress.

I looked up at him, but I didn't know what to say. I was too overwhelmed by the chaos in my mind.

Ezran approached slowly, crouching down in front of me. He placed his hands on mine, gently squeezing them. "Murielle... I'm here."

His words were simple, but they carried a comforting weight.

And at that moment, everything collapsed. As if all the emotions I had been holding back for hours suddenly poured out at once. The tears began to flow, silent at first, then unstoppable.
