End and Beginning Footsteps 8

"Ellie?

"Nogi...?

In the dark, I give a horrible voice to her crying. Even though there was no light, Aili's appearance was clearly visible. The kimono was like a princess, wearing something luxurious. It's not a pull shaker like the one worn in the peach verse, it's a kimono with an elegant stand.

She noticed my voice and looked at this one with her face up, which was annoying.

Her eyes are bright red and her forehead is a bunch because she is wet with tears.

I got one step closer to her again. Then whenever I get closer, Eric's expression gets stronger. "Don't come, don't come," he mutters like every wow, but it never moved from there.

I take my steps, bewildered, but then I pick up a sound like a jarrah and a metal noise in my ear. Sounds like an iron chain dragging the ground. If you look closely, she had a silver footprint on her ankle.

I was cautiously approaching every step of the way, and when I made sure of it in my eyes, I was running.

"Ellie!? What's wrong!?

"No! Don't come! Nogi shouldn't be here."

"What's this chain? Where am I?

I gently stroked my round, leaning back to relieve my frightened girlfriend. Touch it, but I'm a little relieved that I normally touched it. Because I was wondering if maybe it had become transparent and I couldn't even touch things anymore.

Raise and lower the hands placed on Aili's back. I rubbed it many times, but didn't feel the temperature on its back. Very cold.

Speaking of which, I wonder if I have a temperature now, too. I tried one hand on my cheek. But honestly, I don't know. I felt Aili's cold, but I didn't feel my temperature. There was heat running around my body earlier.

Doing so, Aili gently takes her hand off my face and turns towards me. The hands I put down stood in front of my chest and looked at me with an indescribably sad, lonely, painful look.

"Nogi, stop. You shouldn't be here forever."

"I can't leave you."

"I can't go, okay?"

I don't know what she meant by saying that I shouldn't be here forever, but even if she told me to go that way, I couldn't really walk away with Aili like this. Besides, she called me "Nogi." He called me the way he used to call me. I've thought about it since then, but that Aili now must be someone I don't know just like me, and the previous Aili... And before that, her presence was naughty.

"Is it true, Eric?

"... I don't know"

Shake your head.

"Don't you see?

"I don't know if I'm who I really am anymore."

Aili grabbed her forehead with one hand and shook her head again.

I touch my own hair dripping beside me. Below my ear was a hair decoration I received from Brother Ribbon Yi. My body shouldn't be here, but it's hard and sturdy. It was stung in my hair.

There are parts of this hair decoration that are as sharp as a tweezer. Just a thought, I pulled it out of my hair. Hair that has lost its clasp flows down to its shoulders and back.

"Wait."

He pressed the chain on Aili's leg with one hand against the invisible ground, lowering the sharp part of the hair decoration, and shook up his thoughtful arm.

She figured out what I meant by my actions, trying to pull my legs slightly, but I can't pull either, so I'm forced to pull the chain toward myself.

- Kakin, Gakin.

Focus on one point and beat it.

Without feeling tired, I just waved my arm to break it.

"Nogi, you can't. Stop it."

"It's okay. 'Cause I'm gonna take you off now."

I wonder where this chain is connected. It's connected to the black ground and I don't know where it's coming from directly.

"Why, why, you won't abandon me"

"Aili......"

"Why don't you abandon such a lousy woman (one)!?

She leans over again. I was moving my arms to break the chain without resting, and I stopped the hair decoration once.

"Nothing, not a wacko who didn't abandon that guy"

After I say that, I move my arms again.

"Because I didn't want to abandon you (Ayi) who might still be in that woman (one)"

The voice of 'Nogi' I heard in the backyard was my only hope.

"But in the end, I gave up. It's like I'm dead too."

The last one, in the voices around me and myself, thought I might not be able to do it anymore. That's why I didn't abandon you, that's different. In the end, I gave up. I gave up.

"Nogi... she's not dead."

Lifting her face that was leaning down, Aili looked at me. I lowered my eyebrows like I was in trouble, but my mouth is smiling gently.

"Huh?"

"What's Still Here"

"What do you mean..."

- Kickin ',

While I was doing that, I saw a change in the sound of tapping the chain.

Use all your strength to shake up your hair decorations. The shock broke the tip of the skin and hair decorations, but her chains could be broken at the same time. The shackles remain attached to my legs, but the chains are broken so I can walk around. At least, he didn't want to leave her here alone.

"Here we go"

I stand up and give Aili my hand.

But you're lost in taking your hand, Aili was following the motion repeatedly to raise her hand or pull it in.

"Aili."

……

"I'm sure I have to remember something. But I'm scared by myself, and I can't walk further. But if someone could stay next to me,"

"I..."

"Let's go together"

Aili grinned softly at the pinky finger of my offered hand.
