Kane's voice trembled slightly . " Little wolf , will you truly never forgive me ? " Phoenix nodded without hesitation . " That's right . Never ." Without waiting for Kane's reaction , she turned and walked into the house . The next day , she had plans with Vincent to attend a concert . Ever since her heightened perception had awakened , she'd developed a deep appreciation for experiencing emotions - be it the serenity of nature , the passion of music , or the sincerity or deceit in people's words . Vincent , being a classical music enthusiast , always enriched these outings with his knowledge , making each concert an enlightening experience . Meanwhile , Kane stood outside the Ambrose family estate all night . Phoenix's words from the day before echoed relentlessly in his mind . The relief he'd felt after his first encounter with Julia now returned to haunt him like a boomerang , striking deep . Yet , he wasn't ready to give up . He couldn't believe that Phoenix could let go of their five - year relationship so completely . The following morning , a cheerful Phoenix hummed a tune as she descended the stairs after receiving a message from Vincent . Her mother , who was having breakfast downstairs , couldn't resist teasing her . " Weren't you the one saying you wouldn't meet him ? Now look at you , happier than ever . I wouldn't be surprised if the engagement becomes a done deal ! " Though she and Vincent were purely friends , for some reason , Phoenix felt a blush creep across her face at her mother's words . " Mom , we're just friends ! " she protested before dashing out of the house . Today's concert tickets were hard to come by . Vincent had mentioned that his favorite cellist would also be performing . As soon as Phoenix stepped outside , she spotted Kane standing motionless nearby . Ignoring him completely , she ran straight toward Vincent . He greeted her with a sandwich in hand , offering it naturally . " My mom insisted I bring this for you , " he said . Phoenix took a bite , and her eyes lit up . " Grace's cooking is amazing , as always ! " " Let's get going . The concert's about to start . " Unlocked You still haven't told me who else is performing today . " Kane remained rooted to the spot , watching Phoenix's figure grow smaller and smaller in the distance . When she had stepped out of the house , he had wanted to call out to her , to plead with her one last time . But then , he saw the light in her eyes - expectant and joyful . It was a light he knew all too well from their time together . Phoenix used to look at him with that same expression . But now , it had been nearly two months since he'd last seen it . As he revisited the memories from before Phoenix's staged death and departure , he recalled how her eyes back then had been as still and lifeless as a stagnant pool of water . Nothing seemed to stir her emotions . But Kane remembered vividly how , in the early days of their relationship , she had looked at him with the same brightness she now directed at Vincent . He realized that all he had left Phoenix with in the end was pain and heartbreak . He couldn't bring himself to ask for her forgiveness anymore . That afternoon , he booked a flight back to his home country . Before leaving , he borrowed a piece of paper and a pen from a passerby , not knowing her current number . He wrote a short message , placed the note in a visible spot near the gate , and took one last look at the place where Phoenix would live out the rest of her life . Then , he got into the car and left . A gust of wind swept the paper off the ground , carrying it into the air . On it was a single line . " Little wolf , allow me to call you that one last time . I just want to say - I'm sorry . I wish you a life filled with happiness and joy . "
