Plot
A fleeting romance of just one night.
From that single night, Lincia carried the child of the man she had secretly loved for so long.
She begged him countless times.
“It’s your child.
Why won’t you believe me?”
A night he could not remember.
Harvich could not bring himself to trust the woman who claimed she bore his child from that night.
“How can I call a lie the truth?”
“When delusion goes too far, it becomes an illness.”
Perhaps that was why, at some point, Lincia stopped pleading.
Harvich only realized it far too late.
***
His belated realisation became his sin.
“I’m sorry.”
It became a wall between them.
“I love you.”
And in the end, it turned into another painful truth his regret had come too late.
“So now you’ve finally decided to play along with my delusion?”
When Lincia, who had never once given up on explaining herself, finally grew quiet and composed, Harvich understood.
“It’s too late.”
That unspoken love, left unacknowledged, had turned into a crime.
