Sad and Disappointed

Every time something occurred, Eldest Uncle convinced himself that his brothers didn't intend it, that they must have had their reasons. Perhaps they were unaware of how things would escalate and didn't mean any harm…

After all, despite women being known for their pettiness and scheming, the three of them were blood relatives! In their youth, Second Brother and Third Brother had respected and listened to him so much. Though they often quarreled, they never dared to lay a hand on him. He would always step in to mediate. Those were good times.

How did it all change?

He refused to believe it, or rather, he didn't want to believe it.

Yet, with each passing event, his confidence teetered on the brink of collapse. He relied on his own convictions and support, but his two brothers repeatedly undermined him. He could no longer contain his emotions.

As much as he wished to trust them, he had no choice but to surrender to the truth.
