Noelle's 'Dream'
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Although Emilia felt a little wronged, she still decided to clearly explain herself to avoid any misunderstandings. "It's true that in cases like Michelle's there were 'people' we need to take care of. But that was only because those people were the source of her trauma, and they were the ones responsible for making her sink into depression in the first place."
Noelle pursed her lips in thought. "Although I understand your concern, and I'm always there to follow your orders, you should still know that there are better ways to handle such situations."
Emilia nodded begrudgingly. "I understand. But for those who hurt her, how could I have let them go? Only a clean wound can heal properly, while a dirty one will eventually fester and lead to bigger issues later. Since I planned to give Michelle a fresh start, I naturally had to do it properly!"
