My whole body felt like lead. I couldn’t come back to my senses.

It was terribly hot and extremely cold at the same time. My eyes were throbbing as my consciousness flickered in and out.

“Ruby…”

Someone touched my forehead. I gasped and my eyes opened.

Who was it? There was only one person who did this to me when I was sick.…

“Sister…?”

Blood red eyes entered my blurry view. I thought of my sister. The blood on her thin wrist…

“Hey… hey.”

“Ruby…?”

“Sister, don’t die. Please don’t die.”

Long, soft hair touched the tips of my shaking fingers.

It’s you! It’s you!

I grabbed her hair desperately and twisted it with my fingers, whimpering, “Sister, don’t die. I don’t want to die alone. So don’t go away, sister. Live with me.”

Her comforting touch on my forehead disappeared.

No, don’t go!

“Did you do anything dangerous in front of her?”

“No, I don’t think that happened.”

…Huh? Isn’t that my sister?

That was my mean husband’s voice, but my sister couldn’t be talking to my husband. Ah, I was in a whole different world…

I was about to turn around, but a hand grabbed my shoulder and made me lie down straight. I was familiar with the scent that entered my nose.

Eh?

“Sp…”

A death reaper. A silver-haired death reaper was staring down at me dying.

Ugh!

“Sp, spare me. Help me…”

Those blood-red eyes shook a little.

Help me, don’t kill me, you son of a bitch! If you’re the main character, it’ll be fine!

I was so angry that tears welled up. I stared hard at him and slapped the standing man on his arm.

“Spare me, save me…”

Why wasn’t he listening?

I decided to give up because I felt like my hands were giving it their all. My line of consciousness was cut off again there.

It came back again.

When I opened my eyes, a small palm was patting my face.

“Get well soon, my lady..”

Who was this? Her clear blue-green eyes are pretty.

It reminded me of a little princess I knew. There was no way the princess could visit me, but…

The scenery changed once more as I almost gave up my consciousness to the gentle pats on my face. 

The place I was in, the face looking down at me by the bed… Was I dreaming?

‘Why are you stuck here?’ My sister asked.

Long ginger hair, blue eyes, tanned skin, and soft lips tinted with coral-red lipstick.

It really was her.

‘Why don’t you go out and ride a yacht? It’s summer vacation.’

Every summer vacation, we came down to our family summer house. Where you could see the beautiful lakeside from the window. The sound of my sister’s friends screaming in excitement was heard even in the room where I laid down.
