"Later on, they'll meet new true loves."
"After people from the past have left, there will still be others coming towards you."
Albert understood Evelyn's feelings at this moment, and at this stage of his life, hearing such words, he should actually be happy.
But he refused.
"I'm not like them. My road is too long; I long for companions, yet I can't stop and wait for anyone."
Evelyn understood too, she masked her emotions with a smile:
"So, before you walk through that road... is there no one who can make you pause, even for a moment?"
Albert nodded firmly:
"Yes, no one."
Light sparkled in Evelyn's eyes as she gazed at Albert and asked:
"What if it's the girl you used to love?"
"For years, you've never hesitated to praise me during our meetings, but I know I've never been able to enter your heart or Old Jin's."
"I'm not a great charmer; at least the two men I admire don't seem to be very fond of me."
"Is it because... there's someone irreplaceable?"
