She stared in disbelief, and at the same time, saw a hint of dismay in the man's eyes.
Immediately after, the two fell into the sea at the same time.
Natalia never knew that, long ago, she had lived and died with Archie.
Although it was not voluntary, the bullet did pass through their bodies at the same time.
She didn't know who the shooter was, and perhaps, Archie did.
All she knew was that at that moment, she suddenly remembered everything.
Thinking about the time she lived in the apartment, she was taken care of by Archie and had already fallen in love with this man.
She remembered that the man, though silent most of the time, was always gentle with her.
He would sit with her on the balcony in the middle of the night and talk a lot about his ideals and fervor.
He told her a lot of things about the world that she had never understood before.
For example, about nuclear, such as an undead monster that has lived for thousands of years, and then outer space ... and so on.
At that time, she felt like listening to a story, or listening to a book from heaven.
He was filled with admiration and immense respect.
Natalia thought to herself, perhaps at that time, she was actually willing to sacrifice for those ideals he spoke of.
After all, in his mouth, if there is no sacrifice there is no peace, no happiness for the people of the world.
But there are some things that it is not her turn to do in the end.
She was rescued, and along with her, Archie.
However, after that time, the two never saw each other again.
She was shot and wounded so badly that she almost didn't survive.
In a daze, I heard someone say, "She knows too much, she can't be allowed to live in this world anymore, she must die."
However, there was another person who stopped him.
"No, if she dies, when Archie wakes up he will definitely pursue the case, and when he finds out that we killed his people, we won't have a good time either."
"So what do you guys say?"
"Erase her memory, throw her into the sea, live or die, it's up to God."
"OK, then let's do it."
Natalia never expected that the result of her own pursuit for so long would be like this.
She saw her tears sliding down from the corners of her eyes, and in her hazy vision, the man was still lying there quietly, unaware of what was happening around him.
So that's it.
So, this is the truth she wants.
Everything is not what he wanted, but it is indeed because of him.
That's why, when they met again several years later, he was so eager to marry her, not because of love at first sight, but only because he wanted to make amends?
So, even after they had been together for so long, even though there were so many opportunities for him to confess to himself, he said nothing, choosing instead to bury it all in his heart?
So that's it.
