“Well, now I can ask you. What happened after that? Why would that brother of mine take you in as a disciple?”
“……”
That question made a cold feeling of dread settle in my heart.
It was what I had escaped from. What I kept trying to avoid.
Something I definitely would not touch after I came to London.
I took a deep breath. I needed to be brave. At least, I should tell her about it. But how? My mind was still a mess. With much difficulty, I managed to get the words out of my throat.
“Someone… died.”
Hearing this, Reines frowned.
“Died? Who?”
“……”
After a few seconds of silence, I uttered two more words.
“…I …Did.”
Reines’ expression froze for a few seconds. Trimmau still poured tea for me as usual. It was the only time that the aroma did nothing to calm me.
“At the… Case in my hometown, I… Died.”
“Wait, this isn’t a metaphor for saying that the ‘you of the past’ died, right?” Reines asked.

Seeing my nod, she sighed.
