   I couldn't take it anymore! I thought it was going to be a sweet romance, but I cried my eyes out later. It still had a happy ending, though. The most heartbreaking part was the line, "He carefully preserved his lover's body, took a piece of her heart and sewed it into his own soul, leaving behind a reincarnation array that he didn't know when he'd need it." That twist, that sudden ending, it was so bittersweet.

Seven people were on board—three women and four men—each slumped in their seats. Some clung to the windows, their fingertips white from the effort, trying to make out shapes in the fog; others hung their heads, their shoulders trembling uncontrollably; still others stared at the blurry road ahead, their eyes empty as if they had lost their souls. The same fear lurked in their different expressions. Even more eerie, all seven faces were deathly pale, as if they were no longer "alive," but merely shells trapped in the fog, waiting to be awakened.
