Bittersweet Memories Part 1

[: Daniel POV :]

As I saw their faces, memories of the post-apocalypse days with the Branch Leaders flooded my mind.

Each recollection brought a bittersweet mix of happiness and regret.

I couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow for not having known them earlier.

Their kindness and care had woven their way into my heart, leaving an indelible mark.

It was a heartache to think that I had missed out on their presence in my life for so long.

The pain of their untimely departure weighed heavily on my soul.

It was as if a part of me crumbled with their passing.

However, the knowledge that the Branch Leaders were still alive fueled my resolve to shield them from that unwanted future.

I was committed to doing everything in my power to ensure their safety and well-being.

For the past year, I have been donating 10% of my drips to the Organization.

It was just a small drop, and none of it was as precious.
