Mr. Fool anxiously looked at Xin Jian, but she didn't answer.

After a few seconds, she glanced at Him and opened her mouth :

« Right, I should drop the "Him" now. »

Mr. Fool took a while to understand.

At least, it can be verified that Xin Jian's thought process is as incomprehensible as always.

He finally asked :

« ...Why ? »

She explained as if it was obvious.

« New Mr. Fool : less divinity -> more humanity. Conclusion : can no longer be called "Him". »

Don't tell your thoughts literally, at least make sentences !

Mr. Fool covered His forehead.

It seems that Xin Jian's laziness now affected how she spoke.

Well, she still gave a "detailed" explanation, that's already good...

So she answered this question but not the previous one ? That's called selectively ignoring things !

Mr. Fool sighed and realized something.

Xin Jian's non-attachement to her life, that was already another common point with 'Her'...

He remembered a memory from the past.

[Mr. Fool looked at 'Her' lying on the ground and heard 'Her' ethereal voice.

« Zhou Mingrui, I'm tired. »

He squatted down.

« ...Me too. »

'She' had 'Her' usual smile on 'Her' face.

« I want to die. »

Mr. Fool stayed silent.

A few seconds passed until He finally answered.

« ...I know. »

'She' glanced at Him.

« I'm sorry. »

He lowered His gaze as 'She' continued.

« I'm sorry to leave you alone here. »

He opened His mouth.

"Then don't leave." He thought.

But in the end, He didn't say anything.

It was the first time that 'She' expressed 'Her' true feelings.

Mr. Fool realized that if He was in 'Her' place, He would also have wanted to die.

It was obvious.

So obvious that nobody seemed to have noticed it until now.

Or maybe they just turned a blind eye to it ?

'She' had been His best friend since He went down from Sefirah Castle in the Second Epoch.

It had already been so long...

He said :

« ...Won't it hurt ? »

'She' chuckled.

« Zhou Mingrui, it has always hurt. Now I don't even feel it anymore... »

He bit His lips.

Mr. Fool forced a smile and announced :

« Don't worry, I'll always remember that gods are hypocritical b*stards. »

Please, don't leave me alone !Where stories live. Discover now
