It appeared that no one had ever made an effort to comprehend Bryson.
He was viewed as an impenetrable fortress.
Yet, in her perspective, this man was undeniably human, a well of emotions concealed beneath a stoic facade, eternally a solitary soul.
Bryson’s deep gaze locked onto Hannah’s, and he released a soft chuckle.
“After hearing all of this, you don’t consider me a miserable man, do you?”

Hannah offered a faint smile, saying, “I can’t help but think that if I were in your shoes, unable to save a loved one in time, I might not have coped as admirably as you did.”

Hannah’s memories appeared to awaken, and she offered a wistful smile as she spoke.

“I’ll head upstairs now. Goodbye.”
Upon returning home, an inexplicable urge nudged Hannah to peer downstairs. When she did, there stood Bryson, a steadfast figure in the community area beneath her.
