"I don't believe in your philosophy." Ari curls her fingers. "I won't argue either. I have taken birth in many worlds to save it from the 'said' apocalypse that you and other gods wanted to bring. I am not sure about taking a part in your plans now." The old man laughs. "Child, you have been a part of it since the beginning. Life and death are two sides of the same coin. You should know it before anyone else." Yes, she does. So do the beings inside her. Ari looks up at the grey. Colours are bothersome.…-

Nakashima Wakana hasn't said a word since they come here. The headstone is pale grey, covered with names of the departed with dates of birth and death right below the names, and the last loving words for the departed. Ari stares at the headstone of the grave. There's not one grave. She reads the names one by one in her mind: Nakashima Wataru, Nakashima Wakana, Nakashima, Sayuri, Nakashima Nachiko. Except for Nakashima Nachiko, others have died on the same day. It seems like the girl's entire family…

Wakana drags the woman toward the shore, further away from the edge of the river. She lays her down and checks her breathing. Then, she shakes her head. Both of them are already dead, aren't they? "Normally." Wakana wrinkles her nose. "People shouldn't be alive after spending so much time in the river without an oxygen mask." But both of them are breathing, even if it's only for pretence. Wakana scrutinizes the woman's face — she has an oval face, pallid skin, and bluish lips that are regaining…

"Excuse me." Wakana asks the man beside her, "Is there something in the river?" The question is wrong. She knows well that the forsaken ones are swimming in the river instead of the fishes. But it doesn't seem like this man would be gazing at the forsaken ones, especially if it's a legendary faceless man. He doesn't seem evil at all but he's a little creepy. Is it that she can't see his face or he doesn't have any face at all? How could his eyes work though? Light enters through the eyes and forms an…

She doesn't know what she's been expecting after leaving the hall of purgatory, but she's sure that it's not this. The bridge between life and death is covered with a thick layer of mist. She stumbles upon the steps, falling forward on the concrete -- turning to her side to protect her face and letting her arm slams against the edge of the step. "Ugh!" She winces in pain, blinking her eyes rapidly as tears sting her eyes. "Why is it so misty?" The wind blows, howling as it plays with her long dark…

Surrounded by towering and young trees, fireflies, and nightbirds, Amami and Cina stand in front of each other, holding each other's hands. He keeps gazing at her with a goofy smile. She avoids his gaze awkwardly and shyly. "With my children, the stars, the moons, and every other creature who is witnessing this union," Cina bends down his head and vows, "I, Cina, take you as my wife and my mate for the end of the time and beyond without any conditions." Amami raises her head and looks into his green…

Amami, the main face of the rain goddess, rolls on the bed and reaches for the black grapes on the bedside table. There's a lazy smile on her face that is no longer chubby. Instead of the round and full cheeks, she has an oval face with slightly red cheeks. She has successfully managed to lose all the extra weight in twenty-nine days. The foreigner god didn't turn up. She was both happy and disappointed that day. Her disappointment came from the fact that she couldn't see his disappointment. The reason…

He drops on his knees. The sharp pain in his head makes him dizzy. Feeling nauseated, Adira places his hand on the floor to support his body. He looks at Ai who is holding his head tightly.

"Why is it empty?" Ai mumbles to himself as he enters the house. He can feel that there's no one inside. What happened after he was gone? He doesn't even know how many days have gone by. His sister is asleep in his arms. Ai takes her to his mother's bedroom. It's empty. The cradle must have been used by Misumi. There are a few toys on the floor too. It feels like the people left this place recently. "Were they attacked?" Ai climbs downstairs and heads toward the sitting room. He takes a few steps back…
