After the Ending of a Rofan Novel

When I reached a dead end by endlessly retracing the past, the first memory etched into me was the sharp scream of a glass being shattered.

“Why is this brat staring at me like that and causing a scene? Just yesterday, she was crawling around like a scared mouse.”

The man beneath the shadowed eyes was a ruffian whose unkempt hair and sharp teeth contrasted with his appearance. Despite his disheveled appearance, his golden hair would surely shine beautifully with a little cleaning. He was a man with such contradictory looks.

“If you’ve gotten used to being a drunkard, should I keep quiet? Please, stop this nonsense!”

“Are you trying to play the role of a mother now, after being a loudmouth to everyone else? Control yourself a bit.”

The man sneered. In response, the woman, clutching her tattered clothes tightly, screamed.

“Even if others don’t know, you shouldn’t speak to me like that…!!!”

“What’s wrong with that? You wanted it, so we had sex and even made a child, but your greed knows no bounds…”

“Ugh…!”

The woman, struck dumb by his words, was beautiful. She had put on makeup even with cheap products, and her slim figure lacked unnecessary fat. At least she had preserved her youthful beauty better than the man.
