Chapter 608: The Sevenfold Path of Multiverse - The Order of Immortal Lotus! (III)
For the first time after refusing to become the Indigo Seat, Albus realized why the Order had refused to help him years ago.
Understanding their decision didn't mean he agreed with them.

As the Headmaster of Hogwarts, he also tried his best to oversee the development of all students, while being as impartial as he could be.
Yet, there were indeed circumstances where he had found himself favoring one event over another, resulting in unintended feelings of guilt and regret.
He had often questioned whether his decisions, influenced by his own biases and values, truly served the greater good.
Now, as he stood on the precipice of a new conflict, Albus couldn't help but feel the weight of all those choices, the unseen forces that had shaped his path, and the many lives intertwined with his own.
