After that, I went straight home.
Unusually, both my father and mother were there.
Relationships within the Cain Valencia family have long since grown cold.
My parents get along well, but they’ve never had a proper conversation with me.
I figured they’d come just to tell me about the revocation of my title.
I felt a little guilty, but all I could do was wait for them to speak.
“Cain…”
Is that… my mother’s voice?
“I’m so sorry…”
Just as she said that, my vision was obscured by magic.
For a moment, I thought I’d been cast under a spell, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
My mother was holding me in her arms.
“Cain, no matter what happens, you’re still our son… It’s all because we weren’t there for you… I’m sorry. We’ll always be waiting for you, so please come home.”
My mother is crying.
It would have been better if she’d at least cursed me one last time.
That would have been easier.
This way… I’m starting to lose track of whether what I’m doing is right or wrong.
“Thank you for everything.”
Leaving those words behind, I walk further and further away from home.
There is still light.
No matter what happened to me, it was warm.
I don’t know that several drops of tears have fallen behind me—me, who thought I had forgotten all emotion.
