“Lilac, I'm warning you, I'll tear you apart if you dare to falsely accuseagain. | never did any of the things you think I did, so | don’t have to take any responsibility. If you don’t want to lose your dignity, you'd better apologize to me!” Although | wasn’t thinking straight at the time, that slap was delivered with full force, making my palm numb.
After 22 years, the obedient Lumma who was usually gentle and kind finally resorted to violence.
But it was Lilac who pushedtoo far. Otherwise, | would never have done such a thing.
I had to admit, though, taking matters into your own hands was incredibly satisfying.
Lilac probably didn’t expect my retaliation to be so fierce and decisive. She was covering the side of her face with tears flowing down her cheeks as she stared atwith a mix of shock and anger.

I hid the hand that struck her behind my back, trying to maintain my composure.
“How dare you hit me?” Lilac asked in a trembling voice.
“So what if | hit you? You falsely accused me, so consider this a lesson. | won't hold back if you provokeagain,” | retorted angrily, showing no mercy.
When she attackedverbally, she didn’t consider my feelings, so why should | spare hers? Lilac lowered her hand from her face and clenched her jaw. Even though it was dark, the red mark on her face were clearly visible.
A wave of hatred and malice surged from her eyes. She said with gritted teeth, “Luna Lawson, just you wait.” As | watched her hurriedly leave, her words echoed in my mind. They sent a chill down my spine, Given her narrow-minded personality, what was awaiting me? Rumors? Headlines on the confession wall? Or verbal attacks on the school’s forums? | didn’t care what she wanted to do. She had said something right. We had to take
responsibility for our actions. | did hit her, but only because she provokedfor no reason. If there were any consequences, I'd just take full responsibility.
As | turned back to enter the apartment building, | heard someone chuckling behind me.
The voice was deep and hoarse, clearly teasing but still sounding melodious. “You sang well, played the guitar wonderfully, and ran away so quickly. And it turns out you're also a tough. little kitten. Lulu, you've really surprised me.” Colin suddenly appeared about without making a sound. He had obviously witnessed the entire scene between Lilac and me.

This greatly aroused my rebelliousness.
“I just hate her. What's wrong with that? Am | not allowed to? I've hated her since the day | met her. Is that not okay? If she provokes again because of Felix, I'll hit her all the same.”
I'm not sure which part of my statement was wrong, but Colin’s smile faded as a hint of sadness appeared. “Do you like him that much? You can’t forget him after all these years, and you're willing to make enemies for him?” Unexpectedly, | felt a strong sense of melancholy from him.
But why was he thinking along those lines? It was weird.
None of the things I just said had anything to do with not forgetting someone.
Colin's thought process was quite unique.
Ignoring the fact that I had just run away from him, | didn’t want to analyze the meaning behind his words. Anger made me single-mindedly focused on getting an explanation for myself
