"Let's forget everything that just happened,' Mia said.
Jensen looked up at her.
In the moonlight, his eyes were deep and complex, profound and unfathomable.
Mia tried to muster a smile.
"You don't have to feel burdened.

Jensen, from now on...
take care." With that, she walked away, fearing that if she lingered any longer, she would not be able to leave.
But after only a few steps, she was embraced from behind.
Jensen's voice was low and hoarse.
"Stay with me." Mia trembled at his words.
Jensen continued.

He thought to himself, she was a stubborn and easily contented foolish woman.
But Mia believed that as long as she truly gave her all, one day she would receive a satisfactory answer.
Time passed like a fleeting cloud, and in the blink of an eye, several years had gone by.
Mia silently watched the man on the bed, dead drunk and unconscious.
