Runa's cries filled the air, her sobs echoing in the dream world. Henrie's heart ached as he watched her. Her silver hair cascaded down to conceal her face while her shoulders trembled with emotion.
Unable to resist the urge to comfort her, Henrie reached out and gently patted her back. "There, there. What's troubling you?" he asked softly.
These dreams had become a recurring occurrence for Henrie, and rather than fighting against them, he had decided to follow their flow, hoping to uncover their true meaning.
Seemingly waiting for his question, Runa looked up at him with a pout and explained, "There's this beautiful girl, and she's getting close to Neils. I know he's a kind and gentle man to everyone, but it hurts to see him showering her with his kindness."
