403 Life's Harsh, Isn't It?

-----

"Life's harsh, isn't it?" Asked Celeste. "Life's shit sometimes, honestly."

"Hm…" I couldn't help but remain in silence.

I really didn't knew what to tell her. It felt like she had opened to us but I couldn't bring myself to tell her what I had gone through. Telling her that I was torn apart by a former Demon Lord would need way too many explanations to feel credible after all.

"What did you do after that?" Wondered Zack.

"What did I do? Well, due to my mother's sacrifice, I somehow managed to escape..." She said while the entire atmosphere remained in silence.
