"Why are you apologizing?"

"Because… I forgot about mom…"

"She's never existed, so it doesn't count as you forgetting. You don't need to apologize for this," Shingo said calmly.

'I'm the one who should be apologizing,' he thought to himself. However, he was unable to bring himself to say it out loud.

Shingo didn't want to see his daughter also being confused by these "memories". It was more than enough that he was the only "abnormal" one.

Yet, a tiny part within him was actually happy that his daughter said so. This caused him to feel self-loathing, which was why his tone was so icy.
