In My Next Life I'll Win the Heart of the Male Lead
There's nothing wrong with Adelaide's life. There's nothing wrong with being cheated on. After all, half of marriages end in divorce and most end from infidelity. There's nothing wrong with getting addicted to an otome game. After all, everybody has something they're obsessed with. There's nothing wrong with reincarnating as the villainess instead of the heroine. After all, the villainess is richer and more powerful. There's nothing wrong with the villainess chasing after one of the love interests. After all, it's not like he's the canon route. There's nothing wrong with Ophelia's life.
Roland's Rescue
The crowd pushes in around us as they try to flee, careless of what they trample on the way. And why should they? Anyone who can't find their own way out of this blaze is already as good as gone anyway.
No one can afford to look out for anyone but themselves.
And I...
I....
I can't move.
I can't bring myself to move now that I've slumped against him.
But...Roland doesn't just give up.
He doesn't leave me here for being too weak to make it out on my own.
Of course not.
"Diane, focus on me. Only me. Got it?" He tells me quietly.
I nod dumbly, numb, unable to do anything but obey. If I try to think, my thoughts will only tumble over themselves and fall into a snare forever again.
But it's Roland. I don't have to think to listen to him. I don't have to justify it to myself to trust him.
I...
Simply do it.
