June was shrouded in black clouds over July, and the return journey was slowly approached between sunrise and sunset.

Germany, Berlin, war……

These familiar yet unfamiliar words seemed to had been lost in some hidden corner, and then, all of a sudden, appeared before your eyes from the depths of your memory, and leaving you unprepared.

The reality was very cruel, and the years were even more ruthless……

Time always seemed to foreshadow the shortness of happiness. It can heal the wounds in people’s hearts, but can’t comfort the injuries they once had suffered. Forgetting may be a temporary escape, but it can never be discarded……

Inevitably, there will always be that one moment when we suddenly thought of our past…and ourselves…

Perhaps, because it was nostalgia; Perhaps…..it was because we can’t bear to look back….

The country with snow-filled the whole sky every winter, and the cold and unforgettable city, became the scar that they don’t want to mention the most.

Now, the newly healed wound was facing the pain of being torn opened again……

Everything was marching in sorrow, it can’t be stopped or restrained…

It seemed like a depressing afternoon, when Gein had all his luggages ready; When he plodded up the squeaky staircase; And when he reached out and opened the cabinet on the 2nd floor in his study.

Everything before his eyes made his mind instantly went blank like snowflakes dancing in Berlin.

The letter….was gone……

The last letter his father left him……was gone….

His trembled hands kept rummaged through every nook and cranny in the drawer. The result of nothing made his heart beat wildly……

Impossible….there was no way….this letter……have been lost…..

However, apart from this assumption, the rest of the answer was one that he can’t accept in any case.

The place where this letter was kept, that was…only two people knew, one was him…the other….was someone who he had never guarded against…..

Silent spread across the quiet corridor, the sparse sunlight stretched the shadow behind him.

In the room with the piano, Alpha sat quietly by the window, in the distance, was a dreamlike peace……

“What…are you….looking at…”

A figure suddenly appeared in the doorway without a sound, and broke the silence like a ghost. The air was filled with restlessness, it brought an imperceptible sense of repression…

“I’m…looking at the sky over there….it’s really beautiful…no artillery rendering…it’s much more clear…”

“Yeah…there is always a layer of smoke hovering above Berlin…Alpha…if you are reluctant to leave…we can stay…at least…right now…there is no need to hurry to leave……”

“Gein…can you tell me….why….”

Although the news sounded like the wonderful gift to Alpha, the chill that emanated from Gein’s cold words made one shudder. Those gentle eyes flashed with more reproof and doubt.

“Actually…I have lost something very precious……that was the last letter my father ever wrote to me…..Alpha….do you know where it is….if you find it…..you must….tell me….because….I….have to find it……”

“………….”

As if tearing the scar from his heart, the secret hidden in the bottom of his heart was suddenly dug up and exposed.

The look of panic didn’t escape Gein’s eyes, an irreversible fact that proved the cruel conjecture.

“Alpha…why…aren’t you…saying anything…”

“……Gein….I’m sorry….”

The very light words echoed in his ears like the piercing roar of thunder, this was a confession, admission, and endless repentance……

“No!!!! I don’t want to hear you say sorry!!! I don’t want to hear it!!!! Alpha!! Tell me!! You didn’t take the letter!!! You….didn’t take it…right?….”

After hearing the answer he didn’t want to hear, the near-broken Gein fell to his knees in an instant. His face covered with a deep and melancholy sadness. Wave after wave spread like the rising tide of the sea, roared and drowned everything……

“How can you speak such cruel words!!! Alpha!! Even if you’re lying to me, it’s also okay!! How can you tell me such a cruel truth!!! What do you want me to do?!! How can I accept this fact!!!”

At last, it became clear that the contents of the letter had long been put to use, and that Normandy’s loss was not due to his father’s commands, but…because…the information…in his hand…was carelessly overlooked……

He couldn’t forgive his mistake, but what he couldn’t forgive even more…was that the traitor…was actually the one who he deeply loved to death.

He gave up everything for him, and he…yet took away….his only family……

Such injury was the most painful……

He looked at the vulnerable man who was in a complete mess in front of him, tears gradually blurred his eyes. He didn’t know what to say, for no words could comfort his wounded heart at this time.

He could only stay silent, listening in silence, and blamed himself in silence……

Tears, drop by drop across his cheek…fell to the ground…scattered into pieces and pieces of duckweed….

His chest….it seemed…there was something….broken……
