At the age of three, Yuan Luoyi asked, "Magic?"

Yuan Fa said, "Yes, a magical spell so powerful that it can transcend life and death. Even the cruel passage of time cannot diminish its might."

Choking back tears, Yuan Luoyi nodded.

"Good, congratulations on being my first audience. Now, close your eyes and count to ten before opening them again."

Yuan Luoyi did as instructed, and when she opened her eyes after counting, she found herself alone.

Panicked, she started running around, searching for Yuan Fa and calling out his name with a crying voice that echoed hollowly in the garden.

She had lost her elder brother, lost her little bird, and now lost her second brother Yuan Fa too.

Overwhelmed by immense grief, she crouched down, curling into a ball, burying her face in her arms as she wailed uncontrollably.

Why was death so cruel?

Always taking away everything she loved most.

"Knock knock! Time's up for the magic trick, my dear sister! Look up, your second brother has come back to life!"

Hearing the voice, Yuan Luoyi lifted her head to see Yuan Fa bending down, looking at her with a shark-like mischievous grin.

She flung herself into Yuan Fa's embrace, freely smearing her tears and snot onto his white shirt.

"Hey, why are you still crying? Isn't the resurrection magic wonderful?"

"Second brother, what is death, really?"

"Let me think how to explain it to you... Ah! I've got it! Death is an endless game of hide-and-seek!"

"Hide-and-seek?"

"Yes, when you're searching for me in the hallway, I'm hiding around the corner. When you go to the corner, I've hidden in the bushes. You can never find me, but I'm always by your side, watching over you, protecting you, wanting you to be happy."

Yuan Fa picked up Yuan Luoyi and wiped her tears with a handkerchief. "So, don't cry anymore. Smile! Death can't truly separate us."

"But if you died, and I couldn't see you, I would still be sad."

"That's a tough request. All humans die, but I'll try my best."

"Will I die too?"

"Yes, of course."

"Then when I die, I'll stay by your side and protect you. Will you cry when you can't see me?"

"Haha, I won't cry. I have no heart, I can't feel sadness."

Time passed, and in the dilapidated Yuan residence, the 11-year-old Yuan Luoyi gazed into Yuan Fa's eyes.

Liar.

Those eyes held only sadness, as if everything else had become void.

You've always had a heart.

The gun in her hand felt so cold, and her once lively second brother was now begging her to end his life.

Seeing Yuan Luoyi's hesitation, Yuan Fa suddenly turned his wrist, trying to seize the gun.

His suffering was too great, he couldn't bear it for another second, so he decided to end his own life.
