I sat back in my armchair, the wine glass in my hand catching the dim light of the room.

Stirring the liquid absentmindedly, I found myself deep in thought.

Something about Y/N's death just didn't sit right with me.

She was a fighter, someone who valued her life above all else.

But on the other hand, nothing is more important to her than her close ones.

She would go to any extent to save them.

But would she truly give up her own existence so easily?

A touch on my shoulder jolted me slightly, and I turned to see Hana standing there with concern.

Hana: Uncle? Is everything alright? You look lost in thought.

I gestured for her to take a seat, and she did, her brows furrowing in worry.

Me: It's nothing, Hana. I was just wondering over Y/N's situation.

She let out a slow sigh.

Hana: She's gone, Uncle. We saw it ourselves.

I could detect a hint of sorrow in her eyes, something that caught me off guard.

She shouldn't feel any connection to Y/N.

No, this wasn't right. This wasn't how it should be.

Me: It seems like her death has affected you more.

I took a sip of my wine, my gaze steady on her.

Hana's expression shifted, a mix of guilt and hesitation crossing her face.

Hana: No, Uncle. I mean, it's not like I'm mourning her or anything.

But her stuttering words betrayed her true emotions.
