The night of the stars was cold .
It had been a long time since I stepped into this garden, but the garden consoled the traveler who returned from time to time in his memory with the same look . Assisi had to stand on top of it and endured the overflowing emotion with his teeth clenched .
Sss- I heard the sound of the wind blowing .
The sway of the winter trees in the wind makes it hard for him to hear things . He fell on his knees under it and suddenly looked up at the shining winter tree . The consolation of the silent tree resolved the soul of a knight in despair .
I didnāt remember when it happened . I couldnāt remember when I started sitting on my knees in front of this tree during this time of absence . I couldnāt remember at all when I began to do this . I knew that it had been a long time, but I didnāt know exactly how long it had been . Nevertheless, it didnāt matter . Assisi truly enjoyed this time .
Without thinking, just looking at the Winter tree always calmed his boiling thoughts like a lie . The endless questions and anguish also disappeared . Thus, he had always been near this tree .
Was this what death looked like?
āAre you still confessing to the winter tree?ā
With a strange voice, Assisi raised his head . He looked surprised, but soon, that expression disappeared . It came from Caitel, who somehow didnāt fall asleep . The knight smiled a little at the familiar look of his lord . However, he was in too much despair to smile .
āMy sins canāt be cleansed, no matter how many times I confess . ā
My sins would not be forgiven even if I repented a thousand times .
I would only feel guilty for the things that I had done . Still, I couldnāt stop confessing because I couldnāt let go of this futile hope that someday, this might all end .
A deep silence subsided between the two . The silence that no one would break and no one was thinking of breaking . He knew that the reason was all because of him, but Assisi knew that his lord did not like it when he opened his mouth .
Nevertheless, he felt strangely moved today .
āIāve seen your daughter . ā
Assisiās low voice echoed in the silence . Caitel turned his head indifferently .
Their eyes met in the air .
