The Charismatic Charlie Wade – Chapter 5816

Lily understood that the sorrows and joys of people could never truly intertwine.

It was only when everyone found themselves in the same situation that they could share in the same happiness or sadness. But once someone succeeded and left others behind, those left behind would only feel increasingly lonely.

But if others were able to wait for the opportunity to be enrolled in university, leaving only one person to board a southbound train for a job in the sweltering heat at the end of August, even though this person would be happy for their friends' circumstances, deep down, they would only feel more lonely and helpless.
