——What is the cruelest gift to the undead?
It's when you meet someone who makes you fear eternity.
*
A down-and-out aristocratic lady came to the church. She was beautiful and gentle, and Tong Mo felt very interested the moment he saw her.
But this beautiful sojourner planted the first seed called "attachment" in his empty world.
He learned to smile, look forward, and even not shed tears for misery.
And she learned how to love a lover who is not a human being.
The ending of this warmth with life as a candle has already been written at the beginning: she will eventually pass away, but he will stay forever. Or maybe they turn against each other and kill their lover.
Unless... She can rewrite the ending into another eternal prologue.
She did it, she is the greatest writer in the world - Tong Mo.

"Chiyoko."
"Huh?"
"What is the difference between the 'emotion'... And 'love' you write about in your book?"
"Love... Is like a stream, flowing naturally. It can be for mountains and rivers, for flowers and birds, for moonlight, for people or objects. It is a pure bond."
"And love... Maybe more like a small pond specially opened by a stream. You need to introduce the most precious water into it, take care of it carefully, and don't allow it to dry up, nor let the outside wind and rain easily disturb its purity. It is more focused, more exclusive, and requires more courage to admit and maintain."
He listened quietly without responding.
So, Chiyoko, which stream is this increasingly filling desire that I feel for you, to be close to, to possess, to protect, and which pond will it merge into?
