"Flynn, I witnessed your love with Queenie along the way. I'd like to ask you—do you love her? Or do you only feel unreconciled because she chose to end the relationship?
"Are you just unwilling to let go of the memories from those five years? Do you assume you have a deep affection for her? Please answer me. What do you really care about?"
Flynn was stunned for a moment when he heard my question. He leaned against the tree trunk and sank deeply into thinking. He was frozen stiff like a stone.
His despair spread in his eyes until it submerged everything. There was no longer a trace of light.
Before that, he had been used to enjoying Queenie's deep love and dedication. He never considered their future.
In other words, he never included her in his plans. He had always regarded her as his appendage. Nothing else mattered as long as she was beside him.
He finally realized that Queenie was an independent individual. She was aware of her emotions and thoughts—as well as the pain. He couldn't bring her back any longer.
"See? You can't even figure out your feelings. So, how do you make Queenie feel your love, Flynn? Over the last five years, she has been willing to follow you without regrets. She never owed you anything. If there is any debt in this relationship, you're the one who owes her.
"She has suffered too much for you over the years. You only saw her suffer once. Do you realize how much pain she went through alone? Please put yourself in her shoes. If love only causes her grief, she'll always be in endless darkness. In this case, will she still want this relationship?
"I believe you love her. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been with her for many years. So what? You can't give her happiness or a home. Why do you want to keep her?
