0 – Ended Fate
A connection that lasted for 16 years.
I never thought our long-standing bond would end so easily with just one word saying she was tired of it.
No matter how much I tried to hold on, she left me in a cold-hearted manner, and I ended up being alone.

I cut off the conversation and conveyed what I had to say.
