It felt like Tilda had to let out all the pain, anger, and sadness she’d bottled up over so many years.
In Dane’s arms, she broke down, crying her heart out.
Ever since she was reborn, she hadn’t shed a single tear.
But now, finally, in the arms of her senior, whom she had found after years of searching, Tilda could cry as much as she needed.
In herst life, Tilda was na?ve, foolish, and hopeless.
After Tilda was reborn, she saw through everything and fought her way forward.
Tilda wasn’t a machine. She was a person with a real heart.
Being mistreated by the Jensons hurt even more since they were family–bound by blood.
All Tilda could do was fight back with everything she had. She hid the pain deep inside her heart, determined never to make the same mistake again.
This time, she wanted to live with dignity, not like before–begging for scraps of affection like a stray dog.
When the world was quiet at night and she saw other families together, while she sat alone, she couldn’t help but wonder.
Why did her family turn out to be a group of demons?
Why did other parents love their children so much?
And those parents who spent years searching for their missing kids–what were they really feeling?
Were they like Russell and ir, who only brought Tilda home to avoid regrets?
No, real parents would give up everything for their child.
They would cry, grieve, and pour their hearts out.
The Jensons imed they searched for Tilda for years, but with all their money and power, did ir really suffer?
Typically, they just paid agencies to look for her.
<b>Because </b>she’d never really suffered. ir couldn’t understand what it meant to be torn apart by pain.
She <b>had </b><b>never </b><b>tasted </b>that kind of heartbreak. So, she could stand there acting high and mighty, as if she <b>were </b><b>doing </b>Tilda <b>a </b><b>huge </b><b>favor</b>.

Instead of showing understanding, ir just med Tilda for being soft.

Her parents always med Tilda for being weak whenever she faced injustice or bad treatment. They’dpare her to K, saying she wasn’t even worth as much as K’s little toe.
Some things, once you see through them, do make you stronger.
But that doesn’t mean you have to ept them withoutint.
Tilda still felt unwilling to ept her fate. She still wished things could have been different.
If only her mentor had never left.
If that old man had been there when Tilda realized the Jensons would never truly ept her–that they were monsters through and through–she would have walked away without a second thought.
She never would have given them a chance to hurt her.
“Professor Kerrigan!”
Manfred and River burst into the office, tense and worried.
But Dane shot them a look, warning them to stay back.

He held Tilda close. Dane gave her the safe harbor she so desperately needed. He let her cry as much as she wanted.
Dane could feel the deep sadness inside her. A grief that had haunted Tilda for far too long, like a nightmare that refused to end.
It was something that had haunted Tilda for far too long.
<i>Tilda </i><i>is </i><i>my </i><i>family </i>now.
<i>My </i><i>junior</i>.
Even though there was no real bond between them, both of them could sense something familiar in each other.
It was a special feeling, they found it hard to exin.
When Dane shot them a look to stay back, Manfred and River froze in ce, too afraid to approach.
All they could do was watch, tense and uneasy, as Tilda cried in Dane’s arms.
River’s hand instinctively went to the gun at his waist. If Tilda made even the slightest move to hurt Dane, he’d be ready to stop her.
<b>It </b>would be a huge <b>loss </b>for their nation if Dane is harmed.
<b>Tilda </b>quickly <b>pulled </b>herself together.
<b>She </b><b>lifted </b><b>her </b><b>head </b><b>from </b><b>Dane’s </b>shoulder and let go. Tilda met his worried eyes with a small<b>, </b>crooked smile.

“Sorry, Dane. I lost it there for a moment, but I’m okay now.”
After crying her heart out, she felt a whole lot better.
Besides, she’d finally found someone important to her.
Dane gently patted her back. He picked up his writing board and scribbled a message.
“I’m here. Don’t be afraid.”
Tilda spoke up in gratitude, “Thank you, Dane.”

Then she turned to Manfred and River, who were still standing there. Those two were visibly on edge.
“Don’t worry. I have no intention of hurting Professor Kerrigan. I know it’s hard for you to believe me, and I sort of lost control just now. I’m sorry.”
She gave them a deep, sincere bow.
Manfred and River didn’t know what to say.
Queen’s humility made their earlier overreactions seem somewhat ridiculous.
Manfred gave River a subtle nod, telling him to stand down.

After all, Queen was soon to join Lab Seven, and they couldn’t offend her.
Manfred tried to smooth things over. He cleared his throat and said, “Don’t take it the wrong way, Queen. Ahem, it’s just… well, you understand.”
