later on in life.”
Speaking of the past, Celine became a little taciturn. “Sometimes I can’t help but wonder if I should hate the world for what happened. Our family has encountered so many misfortunes throughout life, and even though my father passed away very early on, we still worked extremely hard and tried to live life to the fullest, but my family received another huge blow when my sister went missing years later.
“Since then, my mother’s mental state has been rather under the weather. She might sometimes recognize me as my younger sister, but she can still go out of the house and hold conversations. normally. It’s just that she can get a little confused at times.” Celine lowered her head. “But she’s been struggling and deteriorating these past few years, she might not even recognize me from time to time.

When she arrived at the restaurant, the doors were Indeed open. She had traveled there by herself. a few times before this, but the restaurant was always closed as if the fact that she had eaten there was a complete illusion.
The wind chime hanging on the door frame rang, and Hesper subconsciously took a glance
