Everyone who knew her said she was warm, cheerful, outgoing, and thick-skinned. But one peaceful evening, she quietly passed away after swallowing a bottle of sleeping pills she'd been saving for who knows how long. Nobody knew why, and nobody knew about her past. It was only then that her friends remembered: they had never heard her tell her own story.
Tang Nuo opened her eyes. All around her was darkness, but the striking figure in the dark stood out: a little girl dressed in a long black dress, with big waves of hair and bright red lips. "Kid, what are you doing here? And why are you dressed so maturely?" she asked in confusion.
The child's voice was unexpectedly cool. "This is my territory. Everyone who makes the choice you did comes here. I can choose to make you disappear forever or let you be reborn as a human. As long as your story is moving enough. What about you? Will you use your story to move me?"
