Chapter 7

Lucas had always been good to me and truly had my best interests at heart.

But childhood friends, close friends - they all inevitably fade away on the long road of life.

Just like in my past life.

He found a lover, had children, and learned to keep his distance from me. So even when I was later trapped in the mountains with an expedition team and called him for help, his wife berated me, calling me an old maid who couldn't get married.

Lucas was right beside his wife when she insulted me, silent and unresponsive.

I ended up dying there in the mountains. I wonder how he felt about that.
