A long silence carried on after my words. It was a silence that seemed to drag on for a long time as the girls processed everything that I had revealed to them.
I let them be.
There were a lot of things that I needed to process myself. At the same time, I also needed some time to properly recover from everything that had happened.
I was mentally exhausted.
'I'm still struggling to come to terms with the fact that I'm in the future…'
Looking at the girls and Leon, they really had changed quite a bit since the last time that I had seen them. The difference wasn't huge, but there was an air of maturity in them that felt weird.
It was almost as if…
They had all grown up without me. In some way, I almost felt left behind, but at the same time, I also understood that I was originally older than they.
Haa.
I sighed, closing my eyes.
What sort of weird thoughts was I even having? While it was true that they had changed compared to how I knew them, they were still the same.
