LOVED Novel

Iris possesses a rare and precious spirit that stands apart from the darkness surrounding him. He has come to realize that nothing beautiful can survive in his world, and he refuses to continue denying her the happiness she deserves—the same joy he has kept from her for so long. Now he wants to do right by her as a friend, recognizing this may be his final chance to perform a genuinely good act. As he gently touches her hair while she watches him in return, he marvels at the extraordinary depth of her forgiveness. Despite everything he has put her through, she still allows his presence, still permits this intimacy. Her capacity to pardon knows no bounds, a quality he has never witnessed in anyone else. The weight of his actions haunts him, driving him to apologize once more, though words seem painfully inadequate for the harm he has caused.
