"Jo-Pil," Seo-Jun called. "Please look at me."

"I'll just tell you anyway, since I'm the storyteller," I said, laughing drying. "He apologized for leaving the boy alone in a world filled with cruelty. He apologized for not being with him a bit longer and then warned him about reality."
"Reality is full of cruelty, my boy. But I hope you don't live on the cruel side of reality and live happily. I... I will make sure you at least do not struggle after I am gone."
