He sighs and sits down onto the couch, staring down at his feet.“I feel hopeless.”“If I am a freeloader, why am I even staying at this house?

Noir texted Henry that she has already gone out.They stopped by the flower shop. Noir went first. Then Robin followed behind her.She looked around the group of white lilies. The yellow ones.

That’s how I used to do housework along with raising her also.”“I’m now the principal of my school.
