While things were unfolding with Shin Noya and Yusa in the distance,
events were also taking place at the park.
A woman, having been grabbed by the arm, turned around.
Our eyes met.
For a moment, both the woman and I fell into silence, caught off guard by the sudden encounter.
The cold sensation in my hand and the eyes staring at me—
seeing them made me swallow involuntarily.
I had prepared so many things to say,
but now that I was face-to-face with her, I couldn’t bring myself to speak.
‘Mother.’
My guess was right.
The moment I saw her, I knew.
This woman was undoubtedly my mother.
