Chapter 131: For True Love (5)
A band made of shadows appeared. It was a simple one that consisted of just a piano and a violin. The shadow band began to play, and it was all for one person: Ailos.
-♬♩♪♩ - ♪♬-
The song was upbeat and fast-paced. Ailos didn't remain still either; he kept time with sharp, deliberate footwork.
Until death do us part.
Gone was the greasy tone from earlier. Ailos now sang in a husky voice, and his eyes gleamed like the night sky.
“I never thought we would part like that♪But hey, this is a new beginning—a completely new start♪I figured when I died, I would go straight to hell♪ But when I opened my eyes, I was here♪ Seems like this world is hell itself♪ A great being called out to me—said they'd give me a second chance♪
“Even death is just entertainment for a being like that♪So what? I’m gonna live however the hell I want♪The piano grew quieter, and the violin took center stage♪This world is a stage, and only entertainment belongs on stage♪I don’t care if I’m not the lead role♪I’ll live how I damn well please♪That’s what gives my life meaning♪”
The spotlight shut off, and the world’s color returned.
Ailos wiped his forehead and winked.
“How was it, darling?”
Clap, clap, clap...
