But when someone asked her, "Did she want to live her life?"
She thought for a while in responding, she didn't want to live or know about the philosophy and theme of life.
She was hanging in a space, lost in a strange feeling; die while living and live while dead. She would reach the peak, moment by moment. She had no idea what was happening to her or what to do?

"What are we? What are our loves? Our wants? And what we found?"
Slowly, the pain decreased, becoming tolerable. It became her normal, So she wasn't feeling it now.
