- I thought I’d never see Elijah again.
- But I ran into him on the street.
- He wore a clean shirt, his hair neatly cut.
- He walked toward me, his eyes gentle.
- “Mary, you’re really alive.”
- I tried to leave, but he hugged me.
- “I know you hate me. I’m sorry, but can we
- talk?”
- “I used my remaining lifespan to see you.”
- I was surprised and didn’t struggle.
- He released me, saying bitterly, “The system
- told me everything. I know I broke your heart.”
- “I was a jerk for eight years!”
- “When I fell for you, you no longer loved me.
- It’s cruel fate.”
- His eyes welled up.
- “Elijah, there’s no need to say more.”
- “We can’t go back.”
- “Your heart really doesn’t hold any place for
- me anymore?”
- く
- He stared at me, searching for an answer.
- “There is still…”
- He became hopeful.
- “But I don’t want to be with you.”
- “Elijah, we’re not right for each other.”
- “I’m sorry.”
- He cried, clutching his chest, trembling.
- “I regret treating you that way. I lost someone
- who truly loved me.”
- “Mary, there’s something I didn’t tell you.”
- “That night, I knew it was you. I called Raina’s
- name because I was afraid you’d be angry.”
- I froze.
- “What… do you mean?”
- He smiled, “I think I loved you then. Some
- feelings can’t be detected by the system.”
- “I don’t understand the complexity of human
- emotions. If only I’d realized my feelings
- sooner.”
- He handed me the ring.
- “Next life, I’ll marry you.”
- His body faded.
- Only the ring remained.
- I didn’t pick it up; I turned and walked away.
- Elijah, let’s end this.
