Ethan repeatedly banged his head against the floor, apologizing so fervently that the entire room seemed to vibrate with each impact. I couldn’t help but sit up on the bed, alarmed by his intense behavior.

“I’m sorry! I’m so sorry, Lilith! I doubted you! I was so full of suspicion because I couldn’t trust you! And if I had just spoken up in the first place, none of this would have happened!”

“I-I understand, Young Lord Ethan, so please get up! I... I’m really fine. If anything, it was my own foolish misunderstanding that led to all this...”

“That’s because I never told you the truth! Please, I’m begging you, don’t apologize!”
