Interlude I Reincarnation Eve ~ Small Flame ~

My abdomen is hot

This place is a back alley and it’s now late at night

Hoping for rescue is futile

… It looks like I’ll die just like this

If I think of it, it’s a worthless life

I, who played around in college and got low grades in my liberal arts course, naturally failed to find employment

It’s a consequence of ht of the fact that no one needed me

In the end, I became a freeter and was on the way from my part-time job

<note: freeter,=”” ie=”” full=”” time=”” part-timer=””>

I send e even if I failed in finding a job, but my income isn’t worth much

They said I may come back to live in our home

―――――― The feelings of regret and guilt is overflowing

Even if I repent at this stage, it’s already too late damn it

In hindsight, he had stagnant, unfocused eyes

He was laughing loudly while doing it over and over and over again

He may be someone called ‘slasher’

I lost a great aht, I closed my eyes just like that ――――――

In the darkness where I cannot see anything, I am conscious for some reason

I can properly recall my name, too

―――――― Where is this place?

―――――― Is this the world after death?

The sensation of ue, and I can see a small flame in a distant place

―――――― What is it?

It is better than drifting in this darkness so I can only go that way

It is strange, but I am convinced that I will never wake up if I ever fall asleep

―――――― No! No! I do not want to disappear yet!

I desperately went towards the flame

―――――― shi+t, so far!

I almost parted with my consciousness several times, but arrived somehow

I intuitively felt like I can touch it, and scooped it gently by my hands

The feelings of the flame flowed into me

That it is sad because its father died

And… that it wants to just disappear, too
