"I'm no genius. I know that very well..."
Shen Yu lowered his head as the tears on his face fell under the force of gravity.
"I'm not the protagonist of a novel. I'm just an ordinary person who has bad luck now and then, gets up early and works late every day for a meager salary, worries his parents, and hears them nag about when he'll find a girlfriend. Just another face in the crowd, an ordinary human who runs from forces beyond his control."
"Even now, I don't understand why it chose me, and I don't understand why you love me and protect me at all costs."
"But no matter how much I run away, I'll still end up hurting my family. And no matter how much I give up resisting, my enemies won't let me go."
"...I have to live, and then get stronger."
Shen Yu wiped away his tears, looked at Monica, and picked up the fragment from the ground.
"I won't run anymore. I'll face all of this head-on."
"Leave the rest to me, Monica..."
No outline. I just write whatever comes to mind.
