Even if Your Regret Holds Me Back (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 111

Bakery, blueberry, balcony, baobab tree, and bell.

Natasha particularly liked words that started with ‘B’ among many letters. It was because they had a similar pronunciation to that person’s name.

Even if the words ended differently, the moment they started with the same sound, she felt inexplicably good.
