"This is not what we want to hear, Panis." Listening to Panis' apology, Catherine seemed to gradually recover from her former strength and rationality. The despair and pain in her eyes disappeared a little bit, and her spine also returned to straightening. She approached Panis with a solemn expression: "You should understand that we don't need to apologize. A pale and powerless sorry cannot solve any problem. What we want to hear is other words."

"But I can't say what you want to hear." Panis smiled self-deprecatingly and shook his head, "Nothing can be changed anymore. What's the point of saying those words that are destined to be impossible to achieve? I have broken my promise and don't want to break it again, so I'm sorry, I can't meet your request."

"Can't say it?" Catherine finally completely walked out of her loss, took another step forward, and said with a sneer: "You would think so because you don't know what we want to hear."

"Hmm?" Panis subconsciously looked up and found that Catherine was close to her. He couldn't help but take a step back weakly, and asked in confusion: "I don't know?"

"Yes, you don't know at all." It seemed that Panis's performance gave Catherine a great encouragement. A confident smile reopened the corner of her mouth and stared at Panis and said, "We all know what you are thinking. You feel sorry for us, you feel disappointed us, you feel guilty for not being able to distance us as soon as possible, you are even reviewing why you entered our lives and why you had to plant the oak tree representing you on the lawn of the Western Paradise. Did I guess wrong? Oh, you think you shouldn't give us hope from the beginning. You feel that you have broken your promise. You think we must blame you. You think that what we want to hear is that you promised again, promised to let go of your responsibilities and return to us. Did I guess wrong? That's why I said, you don't know what we want to hear, because you don't know what we want now."

Looking at Catherine who suddenly became stronger, Panis felt that his brain could not react. He took a step back and said stammeringly: "No, isn't that true? Ru, if it weren't for me, you, you, you, wouldn't have to bear the pain of... separation, and you wouldn't have to be sad about it."

"That's right, that's it. Of course we don't need to bear the pain of separation, because we are already dead." Catherine followed up without hesitation, almost facing Pannis, and said with gritted teeth: "Do I need me to think about it for you? I need me to tell you what Vivian would become without your existence, what would Lina become, and what would I become? As for the idiot over there, she has become a ball anyway, so I don't need to talk about her anymore."

"You can't say that." Panis had no way to retreat, so he could only scratch his head with a wry smile: "No one can predict such things as fate. Without my existence, maybe you will live a better life."

"Just say that, because I'm talking about facts, not what you say 'maybe'." Catherine interrupted Panis's quibbling, stretched out her arm, and thumped on the wall of the corridor next to Panis's face, and said with a momentum: "Do you think we will blame you? Hum? Do you think we will regret it? Hum? You have to not exist on your own? Hum? Who do you think of us as? Hum?"

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I shouldn't think so." Panis no longer cared about guilt and regret. Catherine's current performance was completely different from her previous rational and firm attitude. With such a strong attitude, Panis wanted to ask her if she was crazy. However, the only remaining wisdom prevented Panis from asking this stupid question. He just tried to squeeze himself into the wall, and said with a twitching corner of his mouth: "Calm down, we can communicate more peacefully."

"Hmph, I tell you, you were wrong, you were completely wrong." Catherine snorted coldly, without changing her posture, and still maintained enough oppression. Although her voice was still fierce, a gentle light flashed in her eyes: "You don't understand us at all, you don't know that you are like a gift from a god to us. We thank the gods countless times and sent you to us. Do you think we just said this? No, we do think so. As for the reason, it is not just because you have saved each of us's lives, not just because you have taught us your most precious experience, nor just because you share the interpersonal relationships that everyone envies. The biggest reason is because you have brought us countless happy days, your existence makes every adventure, and even every day in our lives full of laughter and joy."

"Uh, actually, I think you can be so happy even without me." Panis said stubbornly: "I only bring endless troubles. For example, if you don't have me, you don't need to be involved in this trouble after another."

"But we just like these troubles, we just like you." Catherine himself admired that she did not blush and could say such strong words smoothly: "We like your appearance, we like your character, we like your pranks, we like everything about you, for several years, we have never regretted you, letting you enter our lives, never, but now you want to tell us, you regret it? The past we cherish so much, the memories we never want to forget, you regret bringing them to us now? Is that true?"

"That, that." Panis was at a loss when he experienced such a scene for the first time, so he could only say embarrassedly: "You know I didn't mean that, I just..."

"I don't care what you mean." Catherine's eyes were fierce and leaning closer together, and gritted her teeth and said word by word: "What we want to hear you now is that sentence me, no, no, regret it."

"I, I, I, of course, don't regret the happy memories I brought to you." Panis stammered and explained: "I just..."
