The sound of a door closing echoed from outside.
Inside the room, Gloria, who had been awake for a while, let out a long sigh.
When she first woke up and heard Amara's voice outside, she thought she was having a nightmare. She pinched herself hard, and the pain confirmed she was indeed awake.
At the same time, Amara was indeed just a door away.
She heard Amara say that she had saved Sebastian when they were kids, and it all suddenly made sense to her.
No wonder, no matter how hard she tried to get Sebastian's attention, he never looked her way.
It turned out there was a deeper connection between them.
No wonder Sebastian had been so uncharacteristically quick to convict Amara in her case.
Thinking about her past self, Gloria suddenly felt a bit pathetic.
All her love had been poured into someone who was never a possibility.
How ridiculous.
The medicine bottle by her bed was empty. Gloria glanced at it and raised her hand to remove the needle.
