Chapter 560: Nightmare (8) [Bonus Image]
Eugene gazed at Noir's face against the backdrop of the trembling twilight. Her face, facing away from the setting sun, was shadowed and dark, yet her expression was clearly visible even in the dim light.
There was no smile on Noir's lips. There was not even a hint of playfulness in her at that moment.
"In this dream, we can kill and be killed forever," Noir whispered. "Death here might not be the death I have longed to understand all my life. But if I'm with you, I can give up such things."
Noir slowly raised her hand. The ring on her ring finger caught the twilight and emitted a faint glow. She caressed her neck with her left hand and continued softly, "Beyond killing and being killed, there is much more we can do. In this dream, we can dream many dreams, not just nightmares. Hamel, having experienced many dreams, you know my words are neither false nor pretentious."
Of course, he knew. Without the awareness of it being a dream, this world would be no different from reality. In fact, it could be better than reality. If he did not desire nightmares, if he wished for joyful and happy dreams — this world could fulfill all the fantasies Eugene could ever want.
"We can do anything here,” Noir promised.
Noir's hand clasped her throat as she felt the pulsing of her heartbeat and continued, "Here, we can dream endless dreams forever. If you wish, ahaha, Hamel, if you truly wish, I will gladly become Aria for you. With Aria's face, with Aria's voice, I will serve you as my god."
Eugene still gazed at Noir without uttering a word.
"But ideally, I would rather you wanted me instead. You don't have to love me. It's okay to kill me hundreds of thousands of times. If you want me, that is enough for me," Noir voiced her desire.
