Chapter 649: Anywhere With You

"I… killed everyone."

Aerith chuckled. She didn't know why, but the only thing that was escaping her lips right now was a chuckle—she couldn't even get herself to cry anymore. She… wasn't really even blaming herself.

"You didn't kill anyone, Aerith…please, don't believe that."

"..." Aerith only scoffed; the wry smile on her face, not disappearing as she turned to look at Paige, "I can hear it… all of your thoughts."

"...What?" Paige could really only take in a deep breath as she saw the look on Aerith's face.

"I did this… me."

Paige recognized her face instantly—she had seen hundreds of them before back in her orphanage—the look of someone completely lost.

Lost from hope.

…Lost from reality.

And someone like Megawoman—for someone she idolized ever since she was a child, the only thing that Paige could really do was shake her head; trying her best not to cry as she looked away from Aerith.
