New horizon (Ch.22-3-R)
The whole Decept Inc. society was burning down.
Well, they got their just deserts.
As Ariel and Naya walked in the front, the rest of the team discussed what to do next.
"So that girl just left like that?"
"Have some empathy, would you? The family reunion is not an everyday thing."
"Feels a bit lonely, man."
We don't know if Patricia will ever come back or at least visit.
But it's the best outcome for all of them after all.
"Are you sure you don't have feelings for that girl?"
Miller just threw a question no one expected.
Now, the mood is up, and everyone turns their head to Raxical.
"What? Why are you all looking at me like that?"
"Come on, just admit it. You two look cute together."
"Yeah, the chemistry between you and her is a novelty."
Sighed, as Raxical covered his forehead with his hand.
"Seriously? Et tu, Ariel?"
"You were a perfectionist before, pursuing complete rationalism. It's a completely different case now. She helped you change a lot."
"Objectively!"
Naya's eyes shine with anticipation.
At this rate, even if Raxical doesn't have the will, people will still ship him and Patricia together.
"No, I have stated clearly with her. We will continue our life independently."
"What a pity."
"But you sure do hope for her to return, right?"
"Positive."
Enough with the drama. Since there are still things to do.
Looking at the sky, Raxical had never felt this way.
It's more than relieving.
What happened at the cliff will be branded in his head permanently.
At that moment, Raxical abandoned the idea of modeling his life after someone else's morals and chose instead to live authentically.
