At that moment, Matthew realized that his mother let herself be killed to give her heart to her son in the future. She was willing to die so that Matthew could have his happiness, even if the consequence were to be hated by her own son for thousands of years.

"Oh, dear, how could you say that? Although I can only see your life through my future vision, I never cease to be proud of you." Aurey looked at her son with her gentle eyes, making Matthew feel overwhelmed by his mother's love.
