“Cheon Mun walked that path throughout his life. Someone else was always first, another’s words were prioritized over his own.

If sacrifice was needed, he sacrificed himself first, and if someone else had to be sacrificed, he sacrificed the one he cherished most.”-ch.1390

“‘If burning oneself is one’s own will, it is a self-immolation.’

A painful and arduous path, yet that was why it was considered the highest form of self-sacrifice.

‘But if it is not oneself igniting that flame… it is just punishment.’

A single tear rolled down his closed eyes.

‘Ah,child.’

He only hoped and prayed.

May he not realize the meaning of ‘relationship’ too late.

May that relationship not become too painful for him.”-ch.1527
