And so, even after my mission was complete, I stayed behind, searching for her reincarnation. But by the time I found her again, she was already dead; she had been born during a time of famine and had not even lived to see her first birthday. After burying the body that had been casually discarded in the wilderness, I continued to linger in that world.

"What truly made me decide to interfere with her fate was that one time—after countless cycles of reincarnation, she was finally born into a happy, loving family. She had an older brother and a younger brother. Her mother was a court recorder, and her father was a local nobleman. They had grown up as childhood sweethearts, their bond was strong, and they loved all three of their children equally." "I thought she would finally be able to live a peaceful life, but an accident occurred. On a warm Sunday afternoon, her father went to church, and her mother was at home with the three siblings.
