"It took living again for me to realize that saving her would cost me everything: I would disappear forever."
Lu Mingfei is reborn atop Tokyo Tower, carrying a promise from the System:
"When the countdown ends, you'll be able to save Erii!"
But when he risks his life to complete the mission
The System suddenly sneers: "You're the sacrifice."
For her to live, he has to die completely, without even a soul left behind.
The boy smashes the System and wraps his bloodstained uniform tight around a strawberry pendant.
"I'll save her and refuse to stay dead, no matter what!"
Three years later, a flower woven from rust and silver blooms amid the ruins.
Kneeling before it, the girl whispers, "Computer-kun, has Sakura come home today?"
The electronic screens across the city suddenly flicker wildly
"Password accepted... Returning home..."
✦ One iron flower, two fools, and the whole world at stake to say, "Welcome home."
