"I learned a lot while I worked in the Cory Manor." His expressions didn't say much but his confession made my heart drop to the pit of my stomach.
I felt awful and I couldn't stop myself from crying but I tried not to make any sounds as he told his story. The weather was lovely, pleasant wind blew past us, fluttering our clothes and hair.
I stared at him when he looked ahead but at nothing in particular. His eyes were distant.
But it made sense to me.
It made my heart tremble as it dawned upon me, why Rika's 'treasure' perplexed him so much. His experience with his mother was so bad, he couldn't comprehend that there are people who are so attached to their mothers that they keep the things their moms left behind as a 'treasure'
Tears rolled down my cheeks uncontrollably. He has done things so nonchalantly. I could never even have guessed the cruel story behind it.
