Please do not deplore yourself.
Even if the world does not forgive you, I will forgive you.

Please do not deplore yourself.
Even if you do not forgive the world, I will forgive you.

So please tell me.

Synopsis

As a new addition to your team as your subordinate, Wanderer does not fit in. It takes all your strength to pull him out of his shell, get him to open up to you and finally accept kindness. But when he is ready, he embraces and greedily takes everything you have to offer.

Another mountain to overcome, however, is his past, as it emerges from the shadows and threatens to drown both of you. What will you do?

Will forgiveness be chosen?
