The Truth
In the cave, Agata realized Theo had been staring at a letter for so long, making her a bit worried. The size of the paper was enough for her to know that he could read the entire message in just two minutes. Yet, it took him so long to look away.
"What's wrong?" Agata tilted her head while approaching him. Although she wanted to look at his expression, she stopped not far behind him so as to not accidentally glance at Theo's letter.
Theo turned his head for a second and said with a wry smile. "It's okay. I need some time alone."
"Okay." Agata nodded and stepped back.
"Thanks." Theo let out a long sigh, never expecting to be influenced by a single letter. He decided to read it again to make sure he didn't miss a single word.
'Theo, everything I wrote in this letter is true. It's up to you whether you want to believe it or not. And also, this letter is not my way to ask for your forgiveness… It's just I believe you deserve to know the truth.'
