But Annan grew quiet instead.
He understood everything.
Like "Ingrid the Spare Chariot"...
Gerenz Nuha was the "spare savior."
He looked at Gerenz Nuha, his gaze turning complicated.
That look made Gerenz Nuha sensitive.
He furrowed his brows but refrained from saying pointless words like "Don't look at me that way."
Gerenz Nuha simply returned the sharp gaze toward Annan, waiting to see what he would say—
Annan spoke, slowly reciting:
"'But when I gaze upon the sun, all that falls are tears... I know in my heart that I am but mortal.'"
Upon hearing this, Gerenz Nuha froze, his body trembling.
Of course, he knew where these words came from.
From the "Odes to the Celestial Chariot," the most famous lines.
But he had never thought that at this moment, these words could be so fitting...
Was he not someone who gazed at the sun and wept... a man driven mad by his insignificance?
