"The 3 stages of empathy,,,"

김예원 image

김예원

"Emotional contagion, sympathy, empathy"

김예원 image

김예원

"The third level, empathy, is a uniquely human ability."

김예원 image

김예원

"But I think most people don't understand empathy, and humans are just animals, too."

"Well written.."

Yewon is smiling happily while looking at her notes.

The cover of the notebook says [Handwritten Note],

In fact, I secretly wrote it and cherished it like a treasure.

This is Kim Ye-won's emotional note.

That note led to Yewon's death,

Even now, that notebook is still Yewon's treasure.

"Where should I write again after such a long time?"

<Wait>

[I'm waiting for you]

[I will wait for you without forgetting you]

[I wait, thinking of you]

[I wait, remembering you]

[Always here,]

[Waiting for you]

[I remember you]

김예원

"Not really,,,"

김예원 image

김예원

"The more you write, the more you increase, and the less you write, the less you decrease."

김예원 image

김예원

"Oh, no, the more you use it, the more it doesn't increase."

I feel like I'm having a lonely conversation about this and that.

I was laughing alone.

김예원

"What is this?"

김예원 image

김예원

"<Friend>,,?"

김예원 image

김예원

"You showed up after all the waiting"

김예원 image

김예원

"You showed up after I expected you to."

김예원 image

김예원

"You who gave me a chance"

김예원 image

김예원

"I lost you like that"

김예원 image

김예원

"what,,"

김예원 image

김예원

"I wrote this when I was in elementary school,"

김예원 image

김예원

"Did I have a friend, lol"

김예원 image

김예원

"I'm so sorry I don't remember,"

김예원 image

김예원

".. friend,, friend,,,"

김예원 image

김예원

",, um,,,?"

What caught Yewon's eye was something in the corner of the page.

[Eunbi, I'm sorry]

The text is spread out like this,

Perhaps, as I was writing, my tear ducts burst and tears fell onto the notebook.

김예원 image

김예원

"Eunbi, I guess we were friends when we were young,"

김예원 image

김예원

"I didn't even remember and I just got angry again,"

김예원 image

김예원

"I'm sorry, what should I do?"

김예원 image

김예원

"I'm always sorry, Eunbi.. hehe"

김예원 image

김예원

"And thank you,"

김예원 image

김예원

"Come back again, and I'll tell you everything I feel."

김예원 image

김예원

"I also want to apologize,"

김예원 image

김예원

"I have a lot to ask,

김예원 image

김예원

"Until the angel comes again,"

김예원 image

김예원

"Come back,"

김예원 image

김예원

"No, let's promise to come back,, hehe"
