Eunice glanced at Bard with a sense of urgency in her eyes.
Bard, realizing the futility of further secrecy, laid bare the truth.
It was only then that Kenneth and Louisa learned that their beloved daughter had endured hardships in the so-called "triangular zone" long ago, narrowly escaping death before emerging as the renowned Boss.
Tears welled up in their eyes in unison.
"She's been back for so long, never once mentioned it." Louisa wiped away her tears, her voice laden with heartache, "She was just a child when she went to that dreadful place."
The helplessness she must have felt, the despair.
Her skills, honed in such harsh conditions.
No wonder she always seemed as cold as ice.
Having danced with the Grim Reaper for so long, witnessed the darkest sides of humanity, and still grown into such a fine person with unshakable principles. it was nothing short of miraculous!
