Although I mixed quite a few lies among the truths... I hope Eva understood what I was actually trying to say.
Ash silently thought.
Whether those words were true or not doesn't matter.
As long as she never starts believing that taking a life is something ordinary... then today's conversation was worth it.
His eyes quietly drifted toward Eva.
Unlike me... she still has a chance to remain herself.
And if preserving that purity means I have to shoulder a few more sins in her place... then so be it.
Taking a slow breath, Ash pushed those thoughts to the back of his mind before his expression gradually became serious.
"There is one more thing we need to discuss."
Seeing the sudden change in his tone, Eva also composed herself as the smile on her face slowly faded, quietly waiting for Ash to continue.
