Too Late, Hayes — The Sunflower's Resolve

I watched that scene for a long time, until everything before my eyes turned Why are you crying? An eyelash got in my eye. I always thought Mr. Hayes would never fall for anyone else.

He used to dote on you so much. I thought he would protect you forever. Everyone has their own life. We can't be tied together forever.

What a shame. I used to think you two would end up together. Perhaps the bonds between people have their limits. Hugo and I were destined to remain only guardian and ward.

It's the middle of the night and you're still not home. You're getting more and more out of line. Come on, don't be so harsh. Ellidoid has you to protect her now, and she'll have a boyfriend to protect her in the future.

He used to hold the umbrella for me like that too, always tilting it towards me, saying I was a delicate rose that couldn't get wet. A rose can't get wet, but I no longer want to be a rose. I will be a sunflower. Even if no one holds an umbrella for me, I will grow towards the light.

Over the next few days, I barely saw Hugo or Morgana. I was slowly getting used to the silence of this house. What are you doing now?
