Chapter 145
It was over.
Yuuki Minami got up from the bed. The bedroom was dim, and he couldn’t find his slippers, so he walked barefoot across the cold floor to the desk, where the kettle was.
Pouring himself a glass of water, he took a sip. The warmth lifted his spirits slightly.
He drew open the nearby curtains, letting the moonlight spill into the bedroom. In this serene glow, he located his slippers, slipped them on, and sat by the bed.
He thought of Mako.
After he had fallen into despair, it was Mako who had helped him. The girl had given her entire life to him, enabling him to perform that perfect surgery.
Was this really okay? She should have had a life of her own.
The image of the girl’s serious expression flashed through his mind. He reflected: in the simulated life, he had adopted Mako at the age of 41 when she was 11. That meant the girl had been born when he was 30.
He noted this timeline down and began pondering another urgent matter.
