But I didn’t want to leave. Then, the system appeared, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor and Caius lost his memories.
One night, Poppy sent me a photo of Caius. He was working out, shirtless and there was a faded mark on his chest where a tattoo had been removed. That tattoo had once been of the character "Deer," because he said he wanted to keep me close to his heart forever.
["I will erase every trace of you from his life. Next time, he’ll have the character for ‘Rose’ tattooed there. And don’t worry—when they send out the wedding invitations, you’ll definitely get yours."]
Now, that bright red invitation had been delivered to me. I held it in my hand and said, "I’ll be there at their wedding."
Seeing my determination, the system finally panicked.
["Tiara, you’re dying. Are you really going to ruin Caius’s chance at happiness? Have you thought about what would happen if he remembered you?"]
I froze, clutching the dress in my hands.
["Look at yourself in the mirror. The day you passed by him, did he even recognize you?"]
