🎵Winter flower, small and innocent
A winter flower with its head down
I think your time has come
The snowflakes are falling
The glass of the ice has long since cracked
Your eyes saw the last ray of sunshine
Can you turn around one more time and look at?🎵

"Who are you!" She said louder.

"Hello dear, my name is Cain, I collect the souls of suicides to pay off my dept."

"And you are dead!" He said with a smile.

"Wait, no! I haven't jumped yet" Akari said frightened.

"Yes, you jumped, look back." She looked back and saw her body hanging.

"Nooo! I haven't jump!!!" She started crying.

"Bring me back! Please! Bring me back again!"

"Why would i do that? You jumped on purpose right?"

"I was depressed, but now I don't want to die, I was stupid" She was sobbing convulsively.

"Please, please!" she fell on her knees.

"I will do everything, just bring me back to life"

"Good. But you have to give me your soul!" He said sternly.

🔴"IM GIVING YOU EVERYTHING YOU WANT!" 🔴

"A deal has been made!" He smiled slyly." The fire engulfed her and she started screaming in agony...

"The human soul is like a winter flower dear, in order to be sold, it must burn, like a snowdrop under the rays of the spring sun.

Akari woke up in her Grandpa's house. "I'm alive! I'm alive again!" She started crying from joy

"So now all I have to do is wait till she dies!" Said Cain while watching her.
