Chapter 26: A hidden allies
"Great..." I muttered under my breath, rubbing the back of my neck. "Just great."
Not only had I inherited Rin’s life, but apparently, I had also inherited his tangled mess of unresolved family drama.
And, by the looks of it, I had already made things worse without even realizing it.
A cold pit had settled in my stomach ever since Lena brought it up—Rin’s parents, their attempts to reach out, and my silence in return. All of it painted a pretty depressing picture. To them, I probably looked like a wounded, angry kid who was lashing out by ignoring the people who cared about him.
Which, ironically, wasn’t too far from the truth.
But...
Things were still manageable.
For now.
After all, all I had to do was apologize, right?
Just show up, mumble something half-decent, pretend I meant it, and move on.
Simple enough.
