What is love, as the world asks? What is love, and what is a thing?
How many people have promised, "We'll stay together until our hair turns white," only to end up hearing a cold "I'm sorry"?
Ever since that day, he has had the same nightmare every night.
Everything around him is pitch-black, a darkness that seems to have no end. He is dreaming again.
"So it really was you?"
A blaze of fire suddenly erupts, accompanied by a despairing, trembling voice.
A long, ice-blue sword pierces his chest. Blood trickles down the tip of the blade, drop by drop, falling onto the scorching ground.
And standing before him is... her.
"Why did you betray me?"
His voice is so faint it's almost lost beneath the roar of the flames. He wants to know, but he is afraid... afraid she really will tell him. So he doesn't want her to answer.
But she hears him anyway.
She smiles, a smile full of sorrow.
"If I didn't betray you, was I supposed to betray the whole world?"
"My people, my parents, my siblings, my fame and fortune... Ha, I can't let them go."
"I can't become the greatest sinner in history!"
Plop.
A piercing pain shoots through his chest. It hurts so much. Something has shattered.
Suddenly, he bursts into laughter. Ha, hahahaha!
What a fool. He really was such a fool.
He actually thought she loved him? In the face of the whole world, he was nothing!
"Ha... So that's your reason? I see."
How wonderful. He was willing to love her for all eternity and did everything for her, yet she destroyed his city, killed his people, and even drove him into a corner.
Mother, was I really wrong?
I hate this! I refuse to accept it!
O Seven-Star Moon Chain, let me return to her side once more. Even if heaven and earth collapse and the world falls into chaos, I will grind her bones to dust!
