Chapter 296- The Second Trial
. Now that those memories that he locked up deep inside his heart flooded out, he couldn't help but regret. A friend who genuinely cared about your health and wellbeing, was hard to come by but no, the him at that time had to adopt a personality that pushed others back and shun one of the few people who showed him kindness.
The more he thought about how he fell into that pathetic state due to his own negligence and denial, the more the regret welled up within him.
Simon took a deep breath, a strong musty scent of the ruins went inside through his nostrils and calmed his beating heart and dissipated that wistful feeling. He cannot right the wrongs that he committed back on earth now that he was dead.
However, he can still make up for his regrets now that he had a fresh new start in this world. Never again would he fall back into that state where he rejected the world and shut himself to his work.
