Persephone paused for a moment, then shook her head with a smile.
Wynn looked somewhat surprised, quietly gazing at her.
"You're not a monster." Persephone's voice was soft yet firm. "You're a good person."
"You..."
"And who says you're disgusting? It's just your lifestyle that's different from others. How's that disgusting? It's not
your fault that you like dressing in women's clothes and pretending to be one."
Wynn was stunned for a while, his eyes gradually turning red. His lips moved, but nothing came out. Instead, he

"I... I have something else." He sobbed, "After you hear it, maybe you'll find it disgusting... My family is poor, and I
had to start working early to support them. But being so peculiar, no one wanted to hire me. Then, I accidentally

me... so I just..."
Persephone froze, not knowing what he hadn't finished saying. But it probably wasn't something good.
Seeing Wynn's avoiding gaze, her heart ached. Her upbringing had been too sheltered. She didn't know the

"Now there's you too!"
He burst into loud sobs and drew attention from passersby, startling Persephone.
"Don't... Don't cry..." Persephone gently pushed him. "Hey, stop crying..."
"You and Morpheus are truly the best to me in this whole town!"
"Could you stop crying, please?"

Persephone shielded her face with her hand.
"I swear!" Wynn suddenly lifted his tear-stained face, solemnly declaring, "I'll give my all for both of you, even if it

"Please, no, no, no!" Persephone was taken aback. "That's too intense."
"Not at all." Wynn wiped away his tears. "If anyone dares to harm you two, I won't stand by!"
Persephone awkwardly laughed.
His sudden enthusiasm was like a tornado, making it a bit hard for her to handle.
"Let's go!" Wynn grabbed her again.
"Where to?"
