Chapter 101 Last Book

I'm not sure how wise it is for me to share this fond memory right before discussing what I've always referred to as 'my living nightmare' over the years, but I've decided to do it anyway. I've been postponing it, trying to spare myself the chest-pounding pain that still haunts me to this day.

I'm not sure if I'll ever find the right words to describe the emotions I felt then and what I understand now.
