Chapter 314: The Ash-gray Girl (6)
On the street where a soft blue light spreads, visible only at dawn.
The Ash-gray Girl was walking endlessly towards her destination, giving a gentle smile to the Yellow Reaper.
Inside the Ash-gray Girl’s heart, complex emotions were swirling.
‘Perhaps today might be the last day we talk to each other.’
Somehow, she had a sad premonition that today would be the last day with the Yellow Reaper.
Surely, they were going to return everything to ‘how it was originally’…
But as if trying to shake off such sad thoughts, the girl started bringing up cheerful and light-hearted topics.
If she were to have a serious conversation here, it would really feel like the end.
While talking about family, school, and the enjoyable times spent with the Yellow Reaper, a bittersweet emotion was evident in the girl’s will.
‘Come to think of it, I feel like I can understand the will that the Yellow Reaper expresses now.’
Was she getting closer to becoming an Object?
The thought of becoming increasingly closer to an Object also made the girl anxious.
‘It’s okay.’
As if sensing the Ash-gray Girl’s anxiety, the Yellow Reaper patted her cheek and conveyed its will.
The Yellow Reaper conveying such will had its usual wrinkled, timid expression.
But the Ash-gray Girl, who had seen the Yellow Reaper often, could tell.
That expression was the result of trying its best to look as confident as possible.
As they approached the apartment complex, the Ash-gray Girl’s heart grew heavier.
Holding tightly to the ‘doll’ that the Yellow Reaper had insisted she must never lose, the girl struggled to suppress the sadness welling up inside her.
Though it was just an ordinary doll, that gift from the Yellow Reaper was incredibly precious to the girl.
‘Never. I’ll never let go of it.’
The Ash-gray Girl still felt that this was her last moment with the Yellow Reaper.
And paradoxically, it also felt like the moment when everything would return to ‘how it was originally’.
Walking down the street tinged blue by the dawn light, the Ash-gray Girl etched her last moments with the Yellow Reaper deep in her heart.
