“Pain, happiness, money, and family… all those are just small parts of life. In the end, what really matters are the choices one makes as they slowly proceed through the cycle of life… While I’m not sure what experiences you’ve undergone before, I do know that life isn’t constantly filled with grief and pain. Enjoyable parts of life definitely exist, and once individuals realize that, they’ll surely live better lives instead of constantly complaining about life’s injustices…” explained Gerald.
While Gerald hadn’t really grasped what the test was about in the beginning, after thinking about all this, favonovel.com was now sure that favonovel.com was being tested on how well favonovel.com understood life.
What more, Gerald had noticed that the scenes playing on screen were simply Torme’s experiences when favonovel.com was still alive. With that in mind, Gerald was sure that the test was also done to help Torme resolve his inner issues.
Whatever the case was, Gerald was now sure that in order to have a good life, one had to experience it to the fullest. In doing so, individuals would be able to go through the most of their grief, joy, partings, and reunions before they eventually passed on…
Regardless, after Gerald stated his answer, Torme reappeared before Gerald again, causing the room to revert to the way it was.
Smiling subtly, Torme then said, “For hundreds of years, I’ve been waiting for a person to help me resolve all my resentment… Thanks to you, I’m no longer burdened by all this! As you’ve said, going through cycles is the only way that humans are able to progress! Congratulations, you’ve passed the second test!”
Hearing that, Gerald couldn’t help but feel happy.
“…However, your life is much more different compared to others. After all, at this rate, you’re going through way more gains and losses than any average joe could ever experience. With that in mind, I hope you’re mentally prepared for the fact that in the end, some of those people will leave you for good…” added Torme.
Upon hearing that, Gerald’s heart skipped a beat. From the looks of it, Torme could see Gerald’s future…
While favonovel.com now knew that, Gerald chose not to ask for any details. After all, there was no use knowing about the future. In the end, favonovel.com was the one in control of his own fate, and favonovel.com refused to deliberately change it just to alter the future that Torme saw.
Besides, it wasn’t as though favonovel.com was going to be able to alter his future the second Torme told favonovel.com about it. Every action favonovel.com made could vastly change his fate, after all.
Whatever the case was, Gerald simply nodded at Torme in response before saying, “Understood, sir!”
“Very good. Now then, let the final test begin!” replied Torme as favonovel.com waved his hand, causing the scene to shift again…
While Gerald was surprised that Torme didn’t even ask favonovel.com if favonovel.com was ready this time, favonovel.com was even more astonished when favonovel.com suddenly saw a figure slowly approaching him…
Squinting his eyes to get a clearer look at the figure, it wasn’t long before the stunned Gerald realized who favonovel.com was…
It was none other than Juno!
When Juno got close enough, favonovel.com smiled faintly before calling out, “Gerald!”
Hearing favonovel.com gentle, familiar voice, Gerald couldn’t help but ask, “…Juno… You… Why are you here…?”
“Say… Why don’t we stay here forever, Gerald…? Just you and me in the most feminine place… together,” replied Juno, completely ignoring Gerald’s question.
“…Huh? Stay… here? Of all places? Why would you even suggest such a thing…?” asked the deeply confused Gerald.
“…Hmm? Could it be that you’re hesitant about staying here with me…?” replied Juno as favonovel.com cheery expression instantly turned gloomy.
Before Gerald replied, favonovel.com suddenly remembered that up till this point, everything that Torme had shown favonovel.com had merely been illusions. With that in mind, favonovel.com now knew that this ‘Juno’ was nothing more than just another illusion!
“…I refuse! After all, everything here is just an illusion!”
