Chapter 35: Reunited At Last

I walked to where it was.

''... After the incident, the elevator was rebuilt.''

''The people were overjoyed, seeing it as a monumental place representing Nikke's Rights.''

''But of course, they were arrogant enough to forget about it all maybe a year later.''

The elevator...

''It's insane. One minute they were all for the rights of Nikkes, and the next they were back to the chopping board.''

Where it all happened...

''Mmm... Oh, here's a fun fact about the whole thing.''

''After the elevator was rebuilt, it never acted the same again.''

Goddess Fall...

''Malfunctions became something ordinary and it often stopped working outright.''

''I don't know how much of this is actually true, but I've heard some rumors that when you enter the elevator, you would hear quiet whispers.''

''Sometimes, they'd be right next to your ear.''

''Multiple quiet voices, speaking amongst one another in a measly low tone.''

''Unable to ascend past the shackles of this cruel world, forever bound to be in a limbo.''

.  .  .

''Or maybe... It's just faulty wiring.''

''Perhaps it's the wind that makes those whispers?''

Nobody knows...

.  .  .

Where...

Is the elevator...

Before me stood nothing of what I had been told.

It was just an endless pile of rubble and dirt, with the occasional metal beams protruding like a horn.
