Chapter 1456: Nostalgia
[Skyline Plaza: Finn’s]
Nina and Finn, idling on the balcony, looked up at the sky in awe. They hadn’t expected a meteor shower; they had just been chatting about what to do tomorrow.
"It’s so beautiful," she mused. "Finn, we should make a wish!"
Nina turned to Finn and playfully slapped his shoulder, making him flinch. She grinned before clasping her hands together and closing her eyes, thinking of a sincere wish.
Finn, however, just stared at her profile. Watching her make such a serious face with her eyes shut, he couldn’t help but smile to himself.
’A wish, huh?’ he thought, shifting his gaze back to the sky, watching the stunning celestial event unfold. ’What else could I wish for... when I already have everything I want?’
He had already been lucky enough to be reborn—to have this second chance at life. A chance he once feared he was wasting, but in the end, everything turned out alright. He might have failed at many things, but not this.
Not Nina.
Looking back at her, his expression softened with affection. Slowly, he closed his eyes and made a wish anyway. It felt a little silly, but if there was even the tiniest chance that wishes could come true, he would take it.
’I wish...’ His smile stretched slightly. ’...for Nina to always be safe and happy in this life.’
When he opened his eyes, Nina still had hers shut, lost in her thoughts. A moment later, she finally opened them, looking at him with a giggle.
"Did you make a wish?" he asked.
