" Past Can't Be Forget And You Can't Just Move On "

Standing on the balcony, Kyo's mind wandered deep into thought. "I'm trying hard to be a better person, but at what price?" he pondered quietly. "I want to be happy and kind, but does it come with sacrifices? I used to be selfish, treating people like tools. Why do I feel guilty about it now, even though everyone seems selfish too? No matter what I do, I can't change my past. People say you can shape your future and forget the past, but I wish I could just forget everything, start fresh. Even though I've built good relationships with Emily, my mom, and my butler, my mind still first jumps to thinking about profit, not people. All this pursuit of money, power, and fame—what does it truly cost? Well, it seems it costs your soul and humanity."

Despite the heaviness of his thoughts, a faint smile crossed Kyo's lips. "Well, it is what it is," he murmured softly to himself. "I truly wish this memory would just fade away. Or maybe... no, I shouldn't even think about that. I'm not that weak. Or am I?"

As he dwelled on these thoughts, Kyo's mom called out for Emily, pulling her back from his contemplation.

As Emily sat down with Kyo's mom, her heart raced with apprehension. "What could be the matter?" she wondered, her nerves tingling with a sense of unease.

Kyo's mom began to speak, her words laced with a mix of understanding and concern. "Humans are complex beings," she began, her voice tinged with a hint of resignation. "But someone like Kyo... he's like trying to grasp a color you've never seen. You can't fully comprehend what he feels, what he thinks. Even after all these years, I still struggle to understand him. And his past... it still torments him, though he seems to brush it off with indifference. In truth, he doesn't seem to care about much at all."

Emily listened intently, her heart heavy with empathy for Kyo and his inner struggles. "But he's begun to care about us," she thought to herself, a glimmer of hope flickering within her. "He's not like anyone else, that's for sure," she mused silently, absorbing Kyo's mother's words.

"I love him," Kyo's mom continued, her voice filled with unwavering devotion. "And I just want you to understand that he's different, even abnormal in some ways. But despite everything, I just want to be by his side. Please, don't leave him. He's already sacrificed so much, and losing one more person might not affect him, but it could extinguish what little caring he has left."

As Kyo's mother's words sank in, Emily couldn't help but feel a renewed sense of determination. "I won't leave him," she vowed silently, her resolve solidifying with each passing moment. "No matter how complex or different he may be, I'll stand by his side, offering him the support and understanding he needs."

With a newfound clarity of purpose, Emily rose from her seat, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead in her relationship with Kyo.

As Kyo's mom shared her concerns, she found a measure of relief in Emily's apparent understanding. Yet, beneath the surface, she harbored a silent worry, one she chose not to voice aloud. Standing beside her, the butler pondered her words, his expression thoughtful and contemplative.

Emily, fueled by a newfound determination, resolved to weather any storms that might threaten her relationship with Kyo. She promised herself to stand by his side through thick and thin, come what may.

Meanwhile, Kyo wrestled with his own inner turmoil, burdened by thoughts he couldn't articulate. As he grappled with his emotions, the weight of unspoken worries bore down upon him.

Despite the personal struggles unfolding within their midst, time continued its relentless march forward, indifferent to the individual trials faced by those it touched. Others in Kyo's orbit seemed oblivious to his well-being, focusing solely on his skills and abilities.

With each passing year, Kyo's father persisted in his efforts to reclaim his son, refusing to relent in his pursuit.

Even amidst these personal and familial challenges, the shadowy figure of Demus loomed ominously. His clandestine scheme to undermine Kyo's standing at the upcoming sports festival threatened to unravel everything, setting in motion a chain of events with potentially dire consequences
