Chapter 66: For The One Who Cares For Me (2)
I thought about this every now and then.
Would things have been different if I had gone to med school instead of into physics?
Sourness wafted from a raw memory. That time when I had just entered university and right before I became a legal adult, I was told I was stupid more than ever.

My older sister who had told me not to think about money and do what I wanted.

I changed Lotte’s towel and sat down.
