Jeanne's Confession

Eleonore 2022-10-12 22:43:08

Whatever fates awaits me...it cannot compare to the pain that I...
When all you hold dear is taken...and you have nothing left, risk is of little consequence.
When a ray of hope came into view, I reached for it. With all my might.
I realize...I realize now that it is too late...that honor does not live in a name.
It comes from what you carry in your heart.

No matter what fate awaits me The misery can't match the pain I've endured.
When all the most precious things in my life are taken away, when I am left with nothing, adventures no longer have a price.
When the ray of hope flashed before my eyes for a moment, I grabbed it and did my best.
But I realize now, though it's too late, that honor doesn't live in surnames.
Honor comes from the abundance that people carry in their hearts.

What Jeanne said after being sentenced by the court led to my silence all night.
Many people who think they are wise make the mistake of having suffered unrighteously or unfairly, thinking that there is a reason to sin. But they don't know how to commit crimes against others, and they are also cruel to themselves.

It is not unforgivable, but it is precisely because no one can bear the final punishment for you.
In order to satisfy the greedy desire, whether it is fame, fortune or love, I finally realized one day that my heart really became empty and could no longer be filled.

not fated. You are right that we really have no fate. I was finally willing or dared to admit it. Just like a person can never step into the same river twice, after being separated for many years, I am no longer the original me, and my way of life and even my way of thinking have quietly changed. And so are you. So there is no longer the original me to love the original you. The previous plot and characters irretrievably faded a little bit, and finally disappeared into the whirlpool of time. I know it's a pity, and it's just a pity.

For four years, I have tried my best to build myself, hoping that there will be a chance to blink your eyes in the future, even naively thinking that the game between us has just begun. Actually really wrong. Having been playing games with Phantom from day one, he was caught in a lonely battle with only himself as an opponent. So it is destined to not win or lose.

Because of eating all kinds of stimulants for such a long time indiscriminately to support the mirage that he thinks is sacred and proud, he lost his appetite. When the real feelings came, I was very happy, but I didn't dare to swallow. It was so choked in his throat that he couldn't speak. Maybe this is the punishment I deserve. The more I like it, the more I appreciate it, the more I understand how severe the punishment is, it doesn't care about your original intention of committing a crime.

Effort is always necessary, but direction is the final verdict of life.
