His best friend slept in his arms. Disaster Rogue glanced at her peaceful face, his thoughts drifting to the other version of himself.

He and Ard Meteor were the same person. However, there was one significant difference.

One was a man in the middle of a story. The other had reached his story’s end.

That caused a great difference in the way they thought.

Thus, Rogue believed that Ard Meteor’s choice was a grave error.

“He ordered me to protect you…so I agreed. And yet…”

Now I think it was wrong to listen.

The shared sense that came from being the same person brought tidings of his end.

“So, in the end, we’re both failures,” he muttered.

“Nn…mm…”

As Ireena started to wake, Rogue froze, as did his comrades.

They were in the middle of a field. The campus-turned-battlefield and the capital city that held it were already far in the distance.

They’d all run nonstop to get there. In silence. Only running.

Surely, that was because they were all in mental turmoil.

Is this really for the best?

Sprinting was all they could do to shake off that thought.

They’d stopped at the first reason they were given.

Ireena Olhyde blinked her eyes open in Rogue’s arms.

“A-Ard?!” she cried, looking up at the man carrying her.

When Rogue saw the look of relief wash over her young, pretty face, he wanted to say yes. But instead…

“I am…Disaster Rogue. Not Ard Meteor.”

…he told the truth.

The intense guilt and self-loathing wouldn’t let him say what he wanted.

I am no longer her best friend. I’m just a failure, nothing more. I failed to protect her, so I’m no longer worthy.

He fed himself these curses as he looked down at Ireena.

She looked around, a wrinkle between her brows, and folded her arms. Ireena clearly wished to say something. She was probably trying to analyze and understand the situation. Upon taking everything in, she paused for a breath and said, “I know what happened. Ard sacrificed himself to save us.”

She clenched her fist and gritted her teeth. Elzard was the first to speak to her.

“None of us like the decision, but…it was the only way.”

Alvarto and Lizer nodded.

“He tried to preserve his hopes for the future.”

“We need to accept it and move on.”

Olivia, Ginny, and Sylphy held their silence. They’d all been tempted to reject Ard’s choice. However, they’d convinced themselves that accepting his decision was the only recourse.

No matter how the three justified it, they’d abandoned Ard. That fact hadn’t changed. And that knowledge rendered them incapable of giving an opinion on the matter. They understood this and so remained silent with anguished expressions.

Ireena didn’t comment on the group’s opinions. Instead, she watched the sky. “You know…for the first time in my life, I want to punch Ard,” she whispered, clenching her fist. “You’re just gonna sacrifice yourself for us? Don’t give me that crap… Is your trust in us really that shallow?”

Rogue sympathized with Ireena. She was right. Ultimately, Ard didn’t trust his friends. He claimed he trusted them, and he acted accordingly to prove it.

However, his love and attachment
