Grim reality

On the side of the hospital's corridor, the apparition of Jun's soul was watching everything transpiring just like Ai was on her parents' side. They couldn't see each other as it was the journey of their own past, but Jun strongly felt Ai's presence. He knew she was there too.

He wished to see her because he craved nothing but the warmth of her embrace. He desperately needed that warmth because the chilliness of realization left his heart barren and irreparable.

All this time, Jun simply 'knew' that his death must have hurt the family.

But it was now he was seeing it with his own eyes just what degree of suffering he had put them through.

Jun trembled hard upon seeing his mighty father bow for the first time. The Liu Jinhai he knew never bowed in front of anyone. It was always the whole world who had its gaze lowered in fear and respect before him.
