- I hit the ground hard, a torrent of blood
- gushing from my mouth.
- I thought I’d finally escaped.
- But I woke up in a hospital.
- Elijah clutched my hand, his voice trembling
- with panic.
- “Why did you jump?”
- <
- “Promise me you won’t do it again.”
- I stared at him, feeling nothing.
- I pushed him away, my voice cold.
- “Don’t touch me.”
- Then, I asked the system, “System, what
- happened? Why didn’t I leave?”
- “Sorry, host. You weren’t quite dead, so you
- couldn’t leave. Try to kill yourself again.”
- “Fine.”
- I saw a scalpel nearby and reached for it.
- Elijah grabbed my hand.
- His eyes were red.
- “Mary, what’s wrong with you?”
- “Why are you so extreme?”
- He was very close, his lips almost touching
- my face.
- I used to crave his touch.
- Now, I felt nothing.
- His familiar face held no interest.
- I pushed him away.
- ”
- “It’s none of your business.”
- “Didn’t you like me? Why do you hate me
- now?”
- His tall frame seemed to slump.
- His eyes were filled with pain.
- “Host, Elijah’s affection meter is at one
- hundred percent.”
- Elijah finally loved me, completely and
- irrevocably.
- But I wasn’t happy.
- “You said that was before. Now, I feel nothing
- for you.”
- I spoke softly.
- “Elijah, you were annoyed by my pursuit. Isn’t
- it good that I’m leaving?”
- I got up, ready to jump.
- He rushed over and hugged me, trembling.
- “Don’t stop loving me.”
- “Mary, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have pushed
- you away that day.”
- “Please, don’t leave me.”
- His voice was filled with despair.
- I couldn’t believe this.
- He was the stoic spiritual leader.
- He only had eyes for his first love.
- And he already found a replacement.
- “Get off me.”
- I tried to push him away, but couldn’t.
- His tears fell on my neck.
- “Mary, I love you.”
- “I really love you. Let’s get married.”
- He wanted to marry me?
- I’d begged him countless times; he’d always
- refused, saying, “I’ll never marry you.”
- “Elijah, I’ll never marry you.”
- My words stiffened him.
- He slowly let go, staring at me incredulously.
- “Mary, what’s wrong with you?”
- I wondered the same thing.
- I loved him so much, and now I felt nothing.
