37. Fall (3/4)
What truthfully happened after that faithful bike ride is that my master fell into… I do not wish to call it a 'depression.' That is far too strong a word. Rather, he lost some of his vitality; weighted once again by the knowledge that his family had so little respect for him and I – the one who was meant to rise above this prevalent view – had instead encouraged it. I humiliated him, and far from becoming angry he directed his doubts inward, finally convinced that he may well be as useless as he'd always been told…
This is a lie.
