The butler left submissively.

Michael stroked the cat in his arms every once in a while. His hair had turned grey as his world descended thoroughly into the boundless darkness. He would spend the rest of his life year after year in endless suffering that he couldn’t free himself from… until a silvery voice spoke.

The owner of the only bookstore in town was a Caucasian lady.

Businesses that made the most money in such circumstances would always be hospitals, funeral homes, and shops that sold firearms. The bookstore barely had any customers, but it had been operating for many years; meanwhile, the beautiful Caucasian lady had been here for two years.

The young lady was reading a book with great concentration in front of the French window.

Her soft, jet-black hair was as fluffy as the clouds, and it was so long that it touched the polished floor.

She knew that her name was Sophia and her husband was called Quinton, but she knew nothing else.
