The night grew deeper, and the sound of insects began.
Clara Smith talked about her acquaintance with Hayden Bell and her unending love for him, following him across thousands of miles only to find that Hayden had been lured into an abyss by others, and their mutual struggle.
At the end, Clara Smith truly apologized to Abigail Green for the first time, "Abigail, I'm sorry. Mom couldn't stay by your side back then, always thinking how lonely he was when he was alive, and how lonely he would be in death. So, I thought I had to stay with him no matter what. Later, things turned out this way, and I wanted to come back, but I couldn't..."
As she spoke, Clara thought about the time when her suicide attempt failed, but the doctor announced she would need an amputation. All her despair converged in that year. In those dark days, she constantly thought about death and had no strength to love anyone, even her own child.
So, I'm sorry, Abigail. I'm sorry.
