"Do you know how much I miss you?" Persephone lowered her head, her voice gradually fading. "I really want to see you."

"I'm sorry." He felt full of guilt.

"You don't have to apologize." She smiled. "I'm already happy that you video-called me today. By the way, I've had too many design projects recently. I have dark circles now. It's quite ugly, isn't it?"

"Hey, why did you suddenly call? I was hesitating. If I picked up, you'd see this ugly mess. If I didn't pick up... I don't know when you'd call next time. I didn't want to miss this chance..."
