Chapter 1: Oneshot

I looked down the bridge, “…” I asked myself again and again, day and day, before and now, questioning myself if I should do it. I shook my head… telling myself ‘No’ inside. 

Surely if I keep going, I’ll find it. I’ll find myself a—,

“Are you going to keep doing it?” Huh? I looked around—, “Are you really going to keep coming here everyday? Meije Yori?”

A cold freezing chill passed down my back - who did I ever tell my name to outside of school? “… who are you?” I warily asked whatever spoke to me.

Cold freezing air crept up my left ear, “A bored spirit, simply hungry for life.” Huh, a spirit? Oddly enough I believed its words, “Are you really going to keep questioning your despair?”

"What do you—," That question...

I thought back to it… “How long has it been…?” I asked myself as I tried thinking when it all started - 4 years ago. I thought of why it started, Yet my mind simply went blank - I simply forced myself to forget what happened before, telling myself it'll be better. “Do I have a choice?” I uttered whilst I looked back down the edge of the bridge. “I wanted to end it so many times, but - even if it’s a hint of hope -, I want to think my life would end happily for me.” I explained to the voice.

The chilly frost crept behind my head to my other ear, “If you would, would you perchance, like to partake in a deal?” With that suggestion came an extreme freeze that overtook my entire being. “Exchanging your lifespan, and you will be granted the power to manipulate time... Or do you wish to simply exist and go on?”

I felt myself questioning my desires…

… … …

After some deep pondering, I made up my mind. “I’ll partake in your deal for my life.”

The intense freeze over me dissipated, “Understood." A light mist suddenly overtook me, "On your hand is a watch that can reverse time starting 1 day from now.” I look to see on my left arm an ominous silver watch adorned with a snake trying to eat its tail. The watch ticked its hands normally, and upon checking my phone it matched my time. “You can go back one day but will be unable to use the watch for 36 hours. You and anyone who touches your watch will retain their memories when you go back in time.” A brief explanation was given to me, which I took in. “With that, this will be the last time you hear this. If you forget; you may only discover by doing. Do not regret this deal for the last five years.” With that the last bit of coldness left my body, and I felt myself burning up.

… Huh… “The last 5 years of my life.” I thought back to it, now I only had 5 years of my life. I traded whatever my future was to get this watch, yet an odd sense of relief filled me. I didn’t have to worry about how long I would question myself, and I started to think of how I would spend these last years.

---

I discovered a few interesting things about the watch from the days I’ve had and used it. 

First - the watch worked like it was explained, and when I used the watch, it would be off sync until 36 hours after where it resynced to normal time. Second - I couldn’t take the watch off, as the watch almost felt like it was apart of me. Third - not everything went like what I remembered. 

Of course, the first thought with an ability to go back in time would be to attain a lifetime amount of money, so I first went with trying to win a lottery with the ability to go back in time. Much to my surprise, winning numbers weren't winning numbers when I went back in time - which suggested an entire rigging in the system, but I digress. Same went for legal gambling systems. Instead, I had to go an indirect route to achieve copious amounts of cash, which was through the market. The market itself was something that I could predict within a margin of error and generally be correct, from my experiences.

Even though I couldn’t trade with the market myself, I used my knowledge to amass a wealth of funds through market knowledge, and within three months of trial and error, success came and paid off. I had enough money to last a whole lifetime - much less 4 years -, yet even after having a luxurious place to myself and playing games, reading, or doing anything day and night, I still felt empty... 

A lifeless me still walked through the same path and bridge I came through before to get the watch... "Huh... Wait!" Someone was leaning over at the end of the bridge. I sprinted as fast as I could and reached my hand out—,

... ... ...

... I was too late... 

How could I? It... no, there was still a way.

I went down the bridge to find the remains. A beautiful girl's lifeless body laid on the sandy ground. I searched her still warm body to find a student ID, "Leseia Saeai." Why would such a pretty girl commit suicide? Well, no way to know that now. Now that I knew her name, I was ready. I turned the clock of time back 24 hours and came to this bridge this evening, waiting for that person...

Eventually a young girl passed me, looking down the bridge. She noticed me but ignored me.

I decided to act first, "Leseia Saeai." I uttered - with a sudden reaction from her.

She looked at me utterly confused, "Why—how... do you know my name?" 

"Those details aren't terribly important now." I wanted to avoid answering questions on my knowledge. I looked at her with my arms crossed, "You... you're planning on jumping, correct?" I simply leaned over the edge next to her looking with her at the dark dark below.  "I wouldn't jump if I were you."

"... and what...? Are you going to stop me?" She sounded desperate saying that. I turn to see her leaning more and more over the edge.

I went behind her. "Yeah." I told her, pulling her back slightly from the edge of the bridge. "Surely there's more to it than it seems..." I uttered... It was perhaps hasty to think that I was helping her, "But don't be desperate to throw it all away."

She wriggled out of my light grasp on her shoulders bringing her away from the edge, "... why are you stopping me?" This question—,

"No reason."

"Lair."

"..." She saw right through me, yet I didn't want to tell her why... I didn't want to even tell myself why I was stopping her... "Sigh... well, if you're going to do something like this, then wait for tomorrow, alright?" I told her as I walked away...

... yet somehow, as I walked away from her, I felt convinced that I stopped her today... 

A day passed, and a girl died again... I went back in time to stop her again.

---

I met Leseia again at a railroad crossing.

This was now the 6th time I've stopped her suicide attempt, and like all her other times she was just as stubborn with her attempt again. Yet our time together slowly introduced us to each other's personality.

"How do you always know where I am? Meije..." She sounded slightly annoyed as I lightly pulled her away from the rail. 

"No reason." I answered.

The sound of a train coming near was getting louder and louder. Eventually the train came into sight, forcing me to act. Left without a choice, I picked Leseia up in a princess carry. She squirmed around trying to escape, but I held her until the train passed, only putting her down when the train was for sure gone.

“You’re annoying…” Leseia uttered whilst looking away from me… She hid behind me as some kids passed by - where I caught a glimpse of her embarrassment.

She looked adorable like that. “You look cute being shy like that.”

“Stop—please. Pretty words won’t stop me.” She uttered, embarrassed still.

I felt a small change in her will from each passing day. She still was stubbornly insistent on trying to find any way to escape me and ending herself, but after I meddled with her on our fourth day by inviting her to a walk, she slowly started showing some innocent honesty with me these yesterday and today.

A small grumble came from beside me, “Is there any place you would like to eat? Perhaps we can enjoy a meal together before you try again?” I suggest, with an added bad joke about her failed attempt.

“Grr—!… yes.” Her honest side leaked out, “Um—anywhere is fine.” Sigh—the standard anywhere answer… I disliked hearing indecisive answers, but I figured we wouldn't be going anywhere if I didn't pick somewhere myself.

“Alright then - Leseia.” As I called her name, she perked up. “Follow me.” 

“Ye—yes.” I slowly learned more and more about her nature as I interrupted her throughout the few days. 

From my interactions, she seemed to have had some issues with school and family. She seemed like a nice person - as she felt odd and stiff trying to sound annoyed or intimidating, much less mean -, and she was really sensitive to her name and being touched.

My mind was brought back to reality as we neared our destination silently. It was a small cafe I went to often after attaining my watch. Whilst it served good drinks, I rated the snacks and food there quite well. As we entered, we were directed to a private seating area and given menus. We sat opposite of each other as we looked through our menus.

“Do you have a bit more of an urge to live?” I asked Leseia.

She shook her head, “No… this will be my last meal.” Before uttering her nonsense again.

I let out an audible sigh, “Yeah… tell me how it goes.” 

Our endless back and forth bickering kept going on for a while. It actually felt fun talking nonsense with Leseia, but eventually our order came in.

She looked at the small cheesecake she ordered with a smile. “Thank you for the meal.” That—,

I couldn’t help but smile seeing her… "Of course - it's the least I could do for you." That was how someone her age should look.

... this was what I was trying to protect… 

---

Our simple interactions kept going for a while. Half a year with Leseia and I noticed her change. She was much livelier than before and would do stuff like lightly joke around with suicidal jokes with me - I could sense she truly didn't want to die when she would teasingly lean off our bridge or make bad jokes. More than that, she also showed innocent smiles when I would do something simple like say her name or interact with her. She probably found enjoyment in being together with me. Though we were still pretty distant still even then. Besides her confiding in me about some issues about her family and current school life a few times, I didn't know too much about her personally, and the same applied to her. Yet despite that, we enjoyed our time together.

I went back to the bridge where everything started... "This watch..." It really cost me everything for it, didn't it? "Was I happier?" Maybe—though I still felt confused on how I should spend my time if I wasn't trying to keep Leseia alive. I examined my watch and noticed that the snake seemed to have slowly inched closer to its tail, just a little bit.

Running—, "Meije." A familiar voice who I recognized,

"Leseia." I turn to see her running towards me. 

As Leseia ran next to me, she looked over the edge of the bridge and slowly leaned forward. I gently put myself behind her and lifted her up from her armpits back onto the bridge. "Hehe—thanks..." She said before leaning herself on me. 

I knew why she was here trying to find me, "You want to go somewhere Leseia?" As I asked her, a small cheerful childish giggle came from her.

"Can we go to the arcade?" She said like a child begging to go. "I'll beat you at racing this time!" 

... Sigh... Inside I could only think of her still as a kid who changed. Well—she did change. Her growth as a person changed - from a lifeless girl to one who could find enjoyment in being with me, as well as a will to keep going. She grew a little taller up to below my shoulders, but otherwise she was still someone who I cared for like a younger sibling.

"Am I a bother?" Leseia asked, hearing my sigh.

"No—I'm just thinking how much you grew." I told her. "Yet you still act like a kid at times."

"... I'll beat you..." She pouted as she lightly knocked her head on the side of my chest like a small animal.

---

A year has passed since I’ve gotten this watch. I looked down below towards the dark bottom of this bridge… “How many times have I been here?”

… I let out a sigh… I was now a young adult out of high school. I had more than enough money to last me a lifetime - much less 4 years -, but I had nowhere near enough will to keep going normally. I thought I would have had an urge to do more, but I felt myself wanting to stay here... I knew why...

Leseia… She rarely came to places like these normally, and if we did meet at places like these, she would joke around saying, ‘I’m going to go die now’ and such. I knew they weren’t as sincere or serious as before, but I was still worried about her. “… I hope I'm not forcing her to stay alive if she is suffering…” I was concerned about her, as I haven't seen her for the past few days, but I was sure she was fine. She was a strong girl—,

I heard some footsteps. “…” Leseia… I saw her on the verge of tears as she ignored me and simply leaned over the edge and—, “Let go!” She cried desperately, as I held her under her armpit from behind,

“Leseia… what happened?” Something happened, for real. A major change happened recently to her, and whatever it was must have broken her today.

She silently teared up and sobbed leaning across the bridge, with only me supporting her from falling. “I… want to die. Please, please let me.” She was emotionally unstable; there was no way she would be fine alone.

I pulled her back a little more back onto the bridge and held her into a more caring embrace. “Spill your pain, I’m here for you Leseia.” 

After a few more minutes of her sobs and tears which dampened my sleeve, she finally started to try and squirm her way out of my embrace. “It's..." It wasn't going to be easy for her, huh...

Eventually Leseia calmed down and spoke to me with tears. Through her tearful words, I learned just how bad her actual family and social situation was... and how much of a liar she was when she spoke about her problems to me...

... There wasn't an easy way to fix her problems... It was much too late to go back on the things that occurred to her. Not that I could even fix it now - it was much beyond the day I had to be able to fix it.

"Leseia - good job." I decided to go differently. "Good job going this far, to decide to stick around." I could only think to comfort her, "... it must have been hard enduring harsh words, but you're a strong girl..." I just tried thinking of ways to compliment her, "... You have a good future ahead of you..." 

"What do you mean Meije!" Leseia cried out, back on the verge of tears. "... I don't even have a place to go back to..." I fumbled around with one hand to get my wallet and a card. 

I slowly loosened myself out of the caring embrace I held on her, "Here - this card has more than enough for you to last a year. Find a hotel or place to stay for a few nights," I told her whilst putting the card into her closed hand. "I'll help find you a semi-permanent place." I took a pen to write on a notepad I had. "This is my phone number - if you need someone to talk to, call this number." I gave her a number on a piece of paper.

"I..." She looked at both the card and paper with my number. A tear fell onto the paper with my number, "... thank you... Meije..." 

"It's the least I could do for you Leseia." I told her before she turned to leave.

As her back soon became a dark figure in the dimly lit area, I considered following her but decided against it. I stayed here to think, before letting out a laugh, "... Sigh, I blurted out some unnecessary words..." Thinking back, who in their right mind would say something like 'You have a good future ahead of you' in a situation like this? "Like I have one." 

---

"Could you help me Meije?" Leseia asked, after explaining her desire to get into a high school.

"I'll do what I can to help you study." I didn't think I was a great student - I did skip an entire year and drop out of school after all—after all, I only had 3 years and whatever left of the year left to live. Huh, 3 years left to live...

"... eh...?" Tsk—I should be careful what I think and mutter to myself—... "Oh, um—thank you so much Meije!" She exclaimed.

So, within the few days I helped Leseia study for high school. I still had all my old high school textbooks, so I brought those over to her apartment room and tutored her. Surprisingly enough, it was incredibly enjoyable to simply teach Leseia. Our simple little interactions from my tutoring, our small breaks, and just being together was pleasant. Her growth was incredible; she changed so much within a year of knowing her. I felt proud thinking about the girl I helped.

As she left to go use the bathroom in her apartment, I sat alone in the common room. "... she has a future..." I looked down at myself - slowly feeling a sense of disgust, "... It is fun being with her," but have I already ingrained myself into her life too much? I stood to go look out the glass window. Looking from here down, we were high up from the busy city below, "... do not regret this deal..." I uttered looking at my watch. When have I last used this watch? Ever since Leseia changed from clinging onto life to the Leseia now, I've stopped using it. It was far too late for me to fix any mistakes I've done—

"Meije?" I turn to see her looking at me. 

"Just admiring the view." A total lie - she knew that... no, she was smart - she knew there was a massive lie in me -, but she was considerate enough - and innocent - in thinking that I would tell her eventually. Yet even then, she still expressed a carefree smile to my words... There would be no way I would tell her. "Let us continue." I said as I sat back down for another study session.

Eventually through her hard work, she was successfully accepted into a high school. After her first day of school, I got a call from her. Remembering my words to always reply and respond to her call requests, I went to go see her at her room.

The intercom speaker rang. "Come in." A small buzz then a click, I opened the door to her room to see her in a very professional dress-shirt and blazer, with a plaid red-black pleated skirt. 

"Congratulations." I said to her whilst closing the door. "Good job making it to school." 

"No—thank you for helping me through all this Meije." I felt proud seeing her wear her new uniform. From before when she was still in junior high, to her now in her first year of high school. 

We both sat down on the couch before she started telling me stories of her first day of high school... I had some worries at first due to how her junior high social life was, but my worries were nothing but simple worries when I heard her story at school.

"... hey, um—Meije, how old are you...?" Ah, thinking of it—, I never told her my age. Period, I never really told her much about me.

"I'm 18—..." Wait, time changed, "... no, wait, I'm still 18." I got confused when I thought about just how long I've been here. My skipping really messed up my sense of time...

"Um—... How—how was your school life?" Ah... I took the time to try and think of anything during my time in school, but—,

"It could have been better..." I decided to straight up lie - my life was horrible... I wasn't bullied or anything, but I was a total outcast that didn't belong anywhere in school. Not to mention my family situation - which really wasn't much different from Leseia now, but... No, I need to think of something to say to avoid speaking about myself, "So—in my words, do your best to enjoy school."

"Ye—yes." She knew I was trying to avoid talking about myself, "... hey, Meije, can we go somewhere today? I want to celebrate my first day with you."

Ah—she's actually proactively asking me... "Err—sure." I hid my head, turning away from her... She was considerate trying to invite me to forget thinking about myself... Leseia—I felt proud seeing the first-year girl in front of me...

"Meije?" 

"No, nothing..." I stood up, "Let's get going." 

---

Our simple interactions went and passed throughout the years. Leseia was finally in her last year and was soon to graduate high school, yet here—, "Sigh." I really enjoyed our time together, and she enjoyed being with me, but I felt worried... "A month..." I slowly accepted my fate and the mistakes I've made... 

I looked up at the stars in the night... "It was a mistake getting too close to Leseia." I accomplished my goals whilst I was alive, but... "There's no way she would accept me being gone." I looked at this watch to see the snake almost touching its tail, "... it's my time..." I wondered to myself now, just how will it end? 

The simple days passed slowly as I slowly contemplated what to do... I told myself to accept it, and I told myself to never use the watch again for my remaining time left. I sat alone in the usual cafe that has now changed to a bustling business. Being an important guest, the employees knew me quite well throughout my visits, so I was given a special private room dedicated to me by the owner. With only a week left, I thought to myself what was left that I needed to do in my final days. 

The door to my room suddenly opened, "Hey Meije." Leseia, now grown, greeted me.

Leseia was now someone who matched my stature; she stood as tall as just above the bottom of my neck and grew out of her childish features. She forcibly made me a sort of tutor and upperclassman for herself, though now we looked more like a couple than anything else as time changed us both.

"Hello Leseia." I greeted her back.

"Why won't you answer my calls? I was so worried when you wouldn't answer, so I came here thinking you would be here." Her pout really showed how much she cared... Geezes, I remember when she was still small and short, as a junior high student... "Are you listening to me?" 

"Ah—sorry..." I let my mind trail off, "Sorry for not answering your calls, I was..." ... lie... "... busy..." 

"... liar..." Leseia uttered... She sat herself on the chair opposite of my table, "... hey, Meije..." she looked down as I heard quiet crying, "... you—... you've been acting weird this—no, it's been much longer..." She wiped her tears with the sleeve of her sweater, "You've been trying to separate yourself from me, yet... yet you've done everything for me - it makes no sense at all! Nonsense!" I—I couldn't really think of a way to reply...

Leseia was smart for sure, and my... well, my actions weren't secretive for sure... Not to mention, she hit all the points home; so hard that I couldn't think of what to say.

"Recently... you've been trying to avoid me for some reason at all costs. I can tell by looking at you—I can tell that you still care about me, but... something is telling you not to get too close to me, yet..." She trailed off from the end of her sentence before going silent...

I let out a sigh... "It's..." I tried thinking of something to say. "Sorry, I cannot say..." I told her... 

She let out a sigh, "Then—hey Meije... when you're ready to tell me, I'll be here for you, okay?" She told me before leaving me.

... the truth was, I was never going to call her... 

The days passed, and then came the last day...

Nothing happened in the following days... Yet now was the final day... "I came to terms with everything." I told myself as I looked down the bridge. I watched my watch tick one by one. The snake now started to swallow its own tail, seemingly marking my end. Like 5 years ago, I looked down the bridge. It was still a little bright, as the sun shone down on me.

I looked at my watch on my left arm... "I didn't regret the 5 years here - I learned and enjoyed my time left..." I uttered as I stared down the bridge. "... Leseia, thank you..." I felt like knowing today would be my end made me happy. I was satisfied with my life and climbed to balance on the edge of the newly created railing for the bridge. 

I took a deep breath... Did I want to live? Yes. Was I happy with my life? "I wish I could have been with Leseia some more..." I took a deep breath, "Thank you for everything, Saeai," and leaned. If I was going to pass on, I wanted to go before she found me. I closed my eyes, and little by little, I felt my body lean more and more—, "Hey... I love—"

"Meije!" Ah—? "Wh—why?" My left hand was grabbed by her, "Please—take—hold the rail!" 

"Why are... Sa—Leseia?" Why was she here? "Don't bother saving me Leseia." 

"Why—..." Her head leaning over the edge showed a face full of tears... "You saved me from this—yet why are you doing it!"

"Leseia..." I wouldn't let her go with me, "Let go—save yourself. You have such a bright future in front of you." I told her.

"No, I won't!" She yelled. 

"Let go—you'll only fall with me!" I yelled back. 

"Please—... I—I can't imagine a life without you..." She was starting to get exhausted as the grip on my left arm started to loosen. Her body slowly started to hang more over the side trying to pull me back with all her strength in a desperate attempt to pull me back over. "Meije!" I finally fell just enough that we tipped over... She held my left hand, and I instinctively held her trying to shield her from the fall.

... no—this isn't how it's supposed to end... I told myself, I wouldn't use it, but... But to save her, I went back in time... I told myself this as—gah—!

... hah...

... "Haah—" I... was back a day... I made it back in time... The pain was still real, with my mind numbing my entire body for a while. I slowly walked myself to the side to rest on the wall at a nearby alley way... Now—I need to find a silent place to past. I looked around—

"Meije!" Huh? Why is Leseia here—, "You—! Thank goodness—..." Huh—why... 

I lightly return her small little embrace. Being with her numbed my pain, "Let's... go somewhere for a bit..." I utter to her as I open our embrace and held her hand.

My place was nearby so I took her there. Leseia was holding my hand tightly the whole way through. She didn't even let go when I had to open my door with my key, so I had to fumble around with one hand to open my door. 

"I—. was so worried—sorry..." She said with tears going down her face as soon as we entered my room. "I... sorry, but ever since I saw you a few weeks ago, I did everything to watch you, yet—..." She trailed off on her last sentence, "... I felt like I saw a surreal dream just now—one where you fell off a bridge and said sad things..." She—why does she remember...

"... You and anyone who touches your watch will retain their memories when you go back in time..." Those words came to my mind, and I blurted them out just now, "..." I couldn't care to see her face as my mind got struck with an even graver mistake than anything I've done yet.

"... go back in time...?" Leseia uttered.

"Sigh..." Should—no, there's no harm in explaining to her now. I took a deep breath, "... Precisely 5 years ago, I made a life-deal. In exchange for my lifespan, I would be able to reverse time by one day." I told her, showing her my watch, "You wouldn't believe it, but I will die tomorrow - regardless of what I or anyone does." 

"You..." She wiped her tears again, "... you idiot..." She uttered, "... you... all this—why did you do this?"

I took another large sigh... I was going to tell her the truth, "... 4 years ago, you remember our first meeting, Leseia?" She nodded silently with the sound of crying, "... you died that evening..." 

... ... ...

"... it was perhaps my selfish thinking, I saved you at first because I was concerned, yet—, somewhere through your pain, I enjoyed you being with me. Silly, isn't it?" I kept going, "Our first year together was really the big change, from you in a state of distress to now - confident, smart, strong, and beautiful, and someone with a future. Funny how I selfishly forced myself on you through all your pain for your first year... haha—," I made myself laugh, perhaps out of desperation, "Yet..." My thoughts trailed off for a moment, "... I felt myself regretting the little time I had left with you - yet there would have been no way for me to have been with you if not for this." I realized my time with Leseia was only possible due to this watch. 

... even I couldn't help it, with a droplet from my eye falling down onto my pants...

"Meije..." A warm hug came from her onto my back. "... thank you for everything... thank you... thank you—thank you..." I realized my biggest mistake, "... you were my sole savior in life—countless times before, I hated myself and so many others... I couldn't bring myself to see any redeeming point in life, much less myself, but you made me see everything precious in life... thank you..." The embrace on me tightened, "... hey, Meije... Yori, you probably realized it a while ago, but... I love you..." 

... I wanted to reply, but I silently cried inside... 

Eventually we both settled down and we both spent the last day of my life in a heartfelt reunion. Dawn's light rose from the windows of my apartment room as we both tiredly looked at each other.

"Saeai," I uttered to her, who was leaning on my shoulder on my sofa holding my hand.

"Yes Yori?" A reply came,

"Can I ask what you plan on doing after I disappear?" 

... silence... We both accepted the fact I would go, so no more tears were shed... "... Um—I guess I'll try to get into a good university..." She trailed off her sentence, this time putting herself more in thought rather than embarrassment. "I'll try to go into something like psychology and help people." 

"... I was right in trusting you for your future..." I told her.

Time passed as we stayed together like this... Eventually the sun started to set - marking my time. 

I let go of her hand slowly and softly, "... Saeai..." I stood up slowly—ah, she must have fell to the tiredness. I put her down—no, she was awake. Tears filled her closed eyes, but she silently stayed still and quiet. I gently carried her over to my bed and covered her with my bedding. "... Saeai—thank you for being here with me... I know it is a selfish wish—but please make a future that you can enjoy..." I removed the passcode on my phone, took out my wallet and keys leaving it on the night desk in my bedroom. "... Saeai—you heard it before I ended my life, but once again... Saeai, thank you, to you who made me realize life, someone I loved, thank you..." As I walked away towards the entrance of my apartment room, crying could be heard behind me, but I knew... this was my time... yet, "... sorry for lying to you all this time..."

I proceeded to make my way to the same bridge where it all started, and waited for my time...

... a familiar chill ran through me—like the one 5 years ago... 

"You aren't going to try and run?" A voice uttered with frost.

I shook my head, "No point in running." I replied, "I still have a lingering regret, but I realized the joy of life."

The chill slowly stopped, before resuming. "That is good." 

I sat down on the edge of the bridge, looking down. "... how am I going to die...?" I was just curious if my death was predetermined, if my cause of death was set in stone.

"Good question..." An intense chill came from all my limbs. "You still have the choice to do it by your own deed, or by this." A chilling freeze overtook my entire body, before dissipating.

"... haha—," Hearing that I could end myself seemed funny. "I already tried that, but if I did that a certain girl might try to save me, so spare me the trouble and finish me off." 

The coldness intensified on me, "May you find salvation and eternal joy somewhere if." 

... ... ... haah—thank you... ... ...

 

... If only, if we could be together, if somewhere we could be together... if...
