Chapter 135

• "What do we do now?" The words escape Sophia, tinged with a sense of desperation akin to that of a shattered child, reflecting the overwhelming confusion and the daunting task ahead. She knows she can't remain stagnant, acknowledging that the heavy atmosphere of the past few days will continue to linger if she doesn't take action. She grapples with the aftermath of her history and the challenge of facing her own life head-on, realizing that she can no longer avoid it. Uncertain of how to mend her wounds and move forward.
• POLO looms in Sophia's mind, a significant but unresolved presence held back by fear. It represents a connection to her parents, a creation she nurtured and cherished.
• "We take it one day at a time. Slowly, as needed. No rush to make decisions, and we confront whatever challenges arise together, directly," Leon asserts confidently, suggesting that progress lies in small, deliberate steps. While she wishes for his confidence, she places her trust in his assurance, echoed by Glenda's advice.
