Sunflowers have seen the sun, so they say the sun is warm.

But the wild grass in the corner hasn’t, so it doesn’t understand, nor does it dare to yearn. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"I’m sorry, Arnold," she looked up at him, then smiled gently, "I’m really sorry."

Besides that, she didn’t know what else to say.

At that moment, Arnold felt like he was seeing the childlike Hannah again.

Apologizing, as if bewildered like a child.

His heart ached dully, and he reached out to embrace her, "It’s me who should be sorry."

He should have been more careful.

Hannah closed her eyes and leaned into his embrace, "Arnold, is loving me a tiring thing?"

She really wanted to tell him to stop loving her.

She was a very selfish person, she was ill, mentally and emotionally, she couldn’t even give him equal affection.

But Arnold said he wouldn’t.

He said, "Meeting you, liking you, loving you, are the most correct and happiest things I’ve done in my life."

He loved her, so he never demanded anything from her.

Just being able to stay by her side was already very good for him.

It was also the only thing he wanted to do in his life.

"I know you have many things to do, I respect you, and I understand you, my only hope is that you allow me to stay by your side."

He looked into her eyes and asked seriously, "Can I?"

Just like he said, he was respecting her.

Respecting all her insecurities, understanding all her defenses.

His love asked for nothing more, just for a chance to stay by her side.

The dark clouds seemed to have cleared because the starlight had fallen again.

But this time, the starlight fell into Arnold’s eyes.

She finally saw her own reflection in his eyes again, "Alright."

She said alright.

For Arnold, this "alright" meant more than many things.

Fireworks burst in his heart.

Hannah reached out and grasped Arnold’s hand.

Their fingers intertwined.

Then she said, "Arnold, I like you too."

So, your affection is not one-sided.

The wild grass growing in the corner doesn’t disbelieve in the world’s love and warmth.

It’s just... it feels such beautiful warmth and love couldn’t possibly touch it.

She shouldn’t be so lucky.

Hannah thought.

But in fact, she seemed to be a little lucky.

Because she had met Arnold.

No matter what the future held, at this moment, they were together.

...

When Hannah and Arnold returned to the cave, solitude was guarding the entrance.

He didn’t know when he had woken up, still holding his long sword.

Following his gaze, Hannah saw the night sky and the moon.

On Blue Star, it’s said, "The moon is fullest on the sixteenth."

The same was true in space.

However, the former is natural, while the latter is a programmed setting.

Today just happened to be the sixteenth.

Hannah withdrew her gaze and tiptoed to whisper to Arnold.

Arnold accommodated her, bending down first.

"Have you ever asked Solitude why he wanted to enter the white fog?"

Arnold shook his head, "No, I haven’t."

"Should I go ask?" Hannah was curious.

She felt there must be some story with Solitude.

Arnold gently pinched Hannah’s hand, "If you ask him and he doesn’t tell you, you’ll get upset again."

Hannah thought about it, "True, if he doesn’t tell me, I might get angry and try to take his sword again."
