Tears froze on her cheeks, and the raging wind filled her mouth, leaving Kala unable to speak.
She felt as if someone were holding her and throwing her down from a very, very high place. The culprit before her wore an apologetic expression.
The woman's face looked familiar, yet somehow Kala felt she couldn't recognize her.
"Inherit my dream and make it come true, the future you promised me in your far-sighted dream."
The woman before her turned away and looked up at the starry sky:
"From now on, whenever you miss me, just think, 'Three, two, one,' then look up. I'll be there, quietly shining as your guiding star."
"...Was it a dream?"
That was a pretty heartbreaking dream.
PS: Half-Life + Arknights + a touch of Escape from Tarkov. Come on in and give it a try.
PS2: The first few volumes are being rewritten (the ones marked 'Old'). I've decided to rewrite them completely, and the Lungmen chapters will be scrapped too. My apologies to all readers. The parts where I betrayed your trust really need rewriting, and even the official timeline has changed.
