Kosma: ...Sorry!

The next day.

Kosma opened the door to his temporary residence and saw Disaster standing in front of it. Kosma paused for a moment, then closed the door.

Disaster: "???"

Amo, what do you mean? She finally came to apologize after much thought!

She pounded on the door, yelling, "Amo, open the door! What do you mean by closing the door when I'm standing here as a girl? Amo!"

Inside the door, Kosma leaned against it, his pupils dilating in shock. Hadn't Disaster given him a severe scolding yesterday? She even said he had changed his mind. He had spent the entire night preparing himself, thinking of all sorts of lines to have a proper talk with Disaster that day.

For example. "Just consider me changed. One cannot drown in meaningless ideals."

Or perhaps. "I don't care what you think, but I hope you know that sometimes, for some reasons, you have to choose between two evils, and in the future, there will only be more such situations."

For example. "You are not yet the Present to seek the answer."

Upon seeing Disaster, Kosma instantly lost his nerve, and all the "bold words" he had conceived the previous night vanished without a trace.

With trembling hands, he took out his phone and typed a message to Zhu Yufeng, who had already left the house. "Feng, Disaster the Present blocking our room door. What should I do?"

Kosmo originally wanted to ask Kevin for advice, but then he thought about it. Kevin couldn't handle the kind of relationship he had with his girlfriend May. As someone who could be liked by Alice, Mebius, and others, how could Kosmo be any less dense than Kevin?

The reason why only Kosma was left in the room was that he had been thinking about it all night and had gone to bed late and gotten up late. Zhu Yufeng and Su had to get up early to arrange the treatment of the infected people, and Kevin would naturally go with them to keep an eye on Elysia. So now the Present Kosma was left in the room.

The same applies to Disaster. She also thought about it all night. The thought that Kosma was pretending to be tough like Kevin to take care of her feelings, while he buried his own helpless struggle deep in his heart, and then she, as his childhood friend, didn't see it and even scolded him, made her unable to sleep. She thought that she must apologize to Amo properly.

So she didn't sleep well all night, but she got up very early the next day. After Kevin and the others went out, she stood alone at the door waiting for Kosma to come out.

Pardo originally wanted to stay with her, but she refused. She wanted to apologize to Amo alone, because she was afraid that Amo would think that she would bring her sisters to bully him.

She glared at Kevin before Kevin left, but Kevin just glanced at her expressionlessly and walked away.

This made Disaster believe Elysia's story even more, and her resentment towards Kevin began to deepen.

Look what you've done to my Amo!

Seeing that Kosma still didn't respond, Disaster stomped her foot and said, "Amo, if you're so capable, then don't come out! If you don't come out, I'll just stand here forever!"

An apology can be said through a door, but she wanted to apologize to Kosma face to face.

Kosma stared intently at his phone screen in the room, he had never prayed so much that Zhu Yufeng would see his message in time.

Soon, Zhu Yufeng replied, "This girl really went to great lengths to come and have a proper talk with you, so you can't let her down~"

Kosma: "..."

He checked several times to make sure the person he messaged was indeed Feng, so why did the reply look so obviously from Elysia? Come to think of it Elysia and Feng's relationship had become quite close after that vacation, hadn't it? Could it be that they've really...

Never mind, since that's how it is, Kosma felt he needed to be firm. He typed a message with great determination. "Elysia, give the phone back to Maple."

A reply came quickly, "Dream on~ I'm keeping Tianfeng's phone safe~"

Kosma: "..."

Elysia!

Kosma took a deep breath. Since he could no longer count on Feng, he could only force himself to calm down and think about how to deal with the Present situation.

(Disaster is very serious; if she says she'll wait for me outside, she definitely will... Should I leave through the window? No, although that's an option, what if someone sees me...? Besides, Elysia definitely knows about this. If she and the Present are really in that kind of relationship, she might tell Kaede a different story if I do that. Hmm... should I really go ask Kevin for advice...?)

After much deliberation, Kosma chose to send a message to Su for help.

After a long wait for Kosma's words, Sue's reply came, "You really need to have a good talk. Don't be afraid of this, Kosma."

Just as Kosma was about to type that he really couldn't help, Sue's second message arrived. "This is a situation you have to face yourself, none of us can help you. Besides, don't ask Kevin, his phone is with me."

Kosma: "..."

This must be Elysia's doing again, right?! I really can't handle this situation!

He decided to go find Michael ahead of time, even though he didn't know where Michael the Present, he could learn from Kevin.

However, his the Present priority is to resolve the current situation; he cannot remain here doing nothing.

After a long period of contemplation about his current situation, Kosma opened the door. Disaster was still there waiting for him. The girl's eyes showed some fatigue, indicating that she had not slept well last night.

Disaster looked at Kosma's somewhat tired eyes, and her guilt for doubting Amo deepened.

"Amo ..."

"I'm sorry." X2

The two spoke almost simultaneously, both paused for a moment, and then moved in perfect unison once more:

"Let me speak first."

The two were taken aback again. Knowing that Kosma was prone to hesitation, Disaster quickly prepared to seize the opportunity to speak, but to her surprise, Kosma spoke first this time, "Disaster, you don't need to apologize to me. I've been thinking about it all night, and perhaps to you, I really have changed the Present, so I should be the one saying sorry."

"No, Amo, actually..."

Kosma interrupted Disaster with unusual firmness, "Let me finish, okay? I... I've thought about this for a long time, and I've realized I never imagined you might be so resistant to this, never... But, Disaster, you know, since joining the Fire Moth, I've learned a lot. If you say I've changed, then I really have. Because I've realized something: in this world called reality, we often face choices between two evils. To reach a bright future, someone always has to bear the darkness. The definition of Heroes... is no longer important to me."

"Amo ..."

"I'm sorry, Disaster," Kosma said, looking at Disaster. "This is my answer. I'm sorry to disappoint you."

After saying that, Kosma prepared to leave.

Disaster reached out and grabbed Kosma's hand. "Amo, listen to me! I... I'm the one who should be apologizing!"

"No, you're not wrong." Kosma didn't shake his head, but instead chose to remove Disaster's hand from his grasp. "We've already gone down different paths, and there's no point in discussing this further."

After saying that, he left without lingering.

Disaster stood there, watching the young man's departing figure. After a long while, tears streamed down her cheeks. She knew Kosma too well, so she knew Kosma was serious.

"Idiot Amo! Idiot, idiot, big idiot! Waaah..." She covered her face and squatted down.

She originally came to Changkong City with Kosma and joined the Fire Moth with Kosma. She just wanted to stay by Kosma's side forever...

Why did it end up like this?

Kosma walked to a corner and let out a long sigh.

(That's good. She doesn't need to waste any more time on me. I've decided to be with Feng. She will never accept the path Feng is taking. Rather than both of us suffering because of this, it's better to part ways sooner rather than later.)

Kosma never truly understood Disaster.
