Do you believe in reincarnation? I didn't, but I wanted to. Because it would be too sad if human souls simply crumbled to nothing with death. Do you believe in fate? I did, but wished I didn't. Living according to a predetermined path is too cruel for those who must accept a harsh destiny. Do you believe in karma? This, I truly don't know. There's no way to verify it. I died. I definitely died and was reborn. Yet to me, it felt like waking from a long sleep. It felt that way because I remembered everything from my past life. Crossing death to receive a new life was, for me, like continuing the same existence. By some terrible luck, an eighteen-year-old orphan girl who knew nothing of the world was assigned as my mother in this life. Everything was different, yet I had to live through the same timeline again. Knowing this world's future was the only leverage I possessed. Now I will live a different life than before. Carrying intact the memories of a life that was never kind to me, having to live through the same timeline once more- Is this my punishment, or my reward?
