Chapter 75
***
After weeks filled with highs and lows, considering the outcome alone, it was a considerable success. I had managed to confront my trauma to some extent, and here I was, having successfully reached the palace!
Truthfully, I had been a bit apprehensive that even the palace might trigger fear within me. However, seeing that I didn't have any particular thoughts about it, it seemed I was doing alright.
'Well, the palace is rather enormous, isn't it? Besides, the strange sensation only started as I was leaving the palace. I might still hesitate when I come across the west gate. As for that place... well, I have no intentions of visiting there, so I'll make sure I steer clear.'
It was okay even if I wasn’t completely alright. This much progress was good enough for me.
At any rate, everything had gone smoothly so far, and I expected that it would continue on a positive trajectory...
"What? Why won't they let me in?"
