Chapter 180
"People write their wishes on paper and attach them to these hot air balloons. Then they send the balloons up to the sky. It symbolizes hoping our wishes reach the Supreme God."
"Ah, what a meaningful event."
"Even for those who cannot write, the officials here help them, so there’s no problem."
Indeed, people seemed to be gathering in one place to ask officials to write for them. Each held a piece of colored paper in their hands.
"Liv, do you have a wish you’d like to make?"
As Emmett, who had already gotten paper and a quill, asked this, Liv thought for a moment before answering.
"I used to have so many wishes..."
To be able to leave Abgrund, to see what green looks like, for Emmett to remember her, to be able to be with him, for people not to hate her, to live like a normal human, to defeat August... There was a time when Liv made wishes every day.
But now Liv had only one wish remaining. She took the quill from Emmett and began writing her wish on the paper.
May I be as happy as today
A smile settled on Liv’s face as she looked down at the wish she wrote. She wondered if wishing for this much happiness was greedy, but then thought it might be okay to be a bit greedy while making a wish. Emmett’s neck turned somewhat red after reading Liv’s wish.
"Were you that happy today?"
