BGM: Hell Maiden Flower on the other side

In the darkness and chaos, consciousness is blurred.

Ark felt himself vaguely see something again... It is... Lemon?

It's the little lemon, less than six years old, and I remember that my sister was older than this when she was youngest.

She still sat on the ground as she had done before, burying her face in her knees. She seemed to be tired, and no longer whimpered, but sat quietly and silently.

The dress was spotless, and her skin was even fairer. It was pitch black all around, and he couldn't see his fingers, but the lemon was the only source of light in Ake's eyes.

The little girl's body exuded a faint white light that warmed people's hearts. Her smooth little feet were not wearing shoes and socks, and she stepped on the cold-looking black stone slab with her hands around her knees, which looked particularly pitiful.

It is reminiscent of fairy tales where goblins are imprisoned by evil witches.

Ark wanted to go up and touch her and talk to her, but he couldn't, he was just a spectator, a bystander. Whatever the viewer thinks about what has happened, it is impossible to interfere.

Lemon kept this position, sitting quietly, not crying all the time, her long, silky black hair hanging down from her shoulders. There was no blood on her snow-white face, and she exhaled a faint white breath from her mouth, curled up in fear of the cold.

If there's a corner around, she'll lean over it. Ake looked at his sister in distress, a tremor and pain from his soul that made him almost breathless.

I understand, I should know. Something like that. This kind of thing. Lemon..

Ake knelt on the ground that didn't exist, his hands clutching the clothes on his chest, his teeth clenched, his back soaked with cold sweat, his eyes clouded, and he didn't see the sunny and energetic look he once had.

。。 Why.. What is it? My heart hurts. What's going on.. This feeling.

Lemon has been sitting like this, obviously alive but as if she is dead, after countless hours like this, she has not moved, nor has she fallen asleep even once, just maintaining such movements, such a demeanor.

Long-lasting, long-lasting

Jingwei has filled the sea into mountains, glaciers have turned into forests, many people and things have been born, and more people and things have died out in history. Many, many stories have happened, some remembered, many forgotten, but either way, she can't be a part of it.

In name only, the concept of time has been lost here, and for Lemon, there is too much time to run out, but she only has time left.

Not even one person appeared in Ack's field of vision, lemons, acre, all kinds of people, three weeks seemed to be in different parallel worlds, it seemed that they could occasionally see and hear, but they could never be touched, they could not meet.

But Ake knows. This is an assumption after all, sooner or later the three will come into contact with each other, just because the two have become brother and sister, no, they have always been brother and sister, and they don't need to be in the process of becoming.

We are brothers and sisters...

Ake had always thought so, and he couldn't help but tremble at this time. Something seems to be moving. He was a little scared, and when he opened his eyes, it seemed that as long as he knew something and saw something at once, then all the good things would cease to exist...

。。 Because, there is no going back!

。。 Lemon.. Lemon.. Where are you?

The lemon is there, just a stone's throw away.

She didn't know when she had stood up, had been doing it for so long, that the little girl had forgotten how to walk—or rather, she had been sitting here since the beginning, never walking.

Ake snapped open his eyes.

She staggered two steps, her slender body tilting to the left and then to the right, waving her little hands as hard as she could to keep her balance. The little girl is delicate like a doll, and a serious expression appears on her cute face, but. She really couldn't walk, and she fell straight forward and fell to the ground after only a few steps.

"Hmm... She made a sound of struggle, trying her best to get up from the ground, but Lemon's little face fell to the ground but didn't get dirty, and when she lifted it up, it was still heart-wrenchingly cute.

Ake watched silently, he was speechless.

Although in this long and unending time, the length of time is incalculable, even decades or tens of thousands of years can not be distinguished... Either way, it's a time that can only be measured in years. And in the process, the lemon did not eat, did not eat anything, just sitting, her body hardly changed, and there was no sign of dust for a long time.

。。 Even so, even if there is only one person, even if you are lonely to die ... Lemon will still insist like this. I deeply understand my sister's character.。

His sister never mentioned it to him, but Ark knew, he knew it was all true, but he wished he hadn't known ... Therefore, he deliberately forgot all this, thinking that he could start a new life with his sister.

At that time, Lemon gently stroked his head.

"It's okay, it's all right... Let's go find a place full of sunshine, please let the two of us live happily together forever and ever. You won't be alone anymore, there will be many, many people with you and playing with you. ”

"We'll never come back?"

"Well, never coming back. We will never again. ”

"As long as I can be with lemons, I'll be fine wherever I am. I just want lemons. ”

"Hehehehe. Brother, hold me tight. ”

————

But the ghosts of the past will never be gone, they will haunt them forever and ever, even if they want to escape, all the way across the mountains and the sea, through the jungle and the desert. Escape to this kind of place. The two of them have no way to escape after all.

Even if that's the case,。。 Why ?。。 It's all come to this. How could it be.

The moment Ake saw Lemon trying to stand up, those memories that had been forgotten, those dusty stories, were all awakened, that kind of heavy and indescribable thing, definitely not something that could be called a memory.

But even if we are not staring into the abyss, there is one staring at us. The cruel darkness has always been with us, but we have never dared to turn back, as if it did not exist, as if it was once. But one day when we don't come to our senses, we will be dragged to hell by it—no matter how much we wail.

Clearly.. Clearly.. It's all forgotten, so why do you have to think about it?。。 Why, why am I so weak? I don't even want to see this ... It's your sister, bastard! There's a limit to what you do, bastard! Cheer me up! Open my eyes!

Ark forced himself to open his eyes, clenched his upper and lower teeth until his gums bleed, his hands clenched into fists, his week-old untrimmed nails digging into his flesh.

Lemon's quiet eyes flashed with a hint of hope, and there was a faint expectation. This made Ake feel even more unbearable.

She tried to get up and walk a few more steps, but after many attempts, she found that she couldn't succeed, so she sighed, and directly used her limbs together, palms and knees on the ground, and climbed up lightly on the black stone slab, slowly and with difficulty.

The little girl struggled to crawl for five minutes, and in fact she struggled even with this simple task, and although she was not injured, she did not even stain her dress, but she looked very painful, as if she was under some kind of pressure.

This dark place seems surprisingly large, and after so long, there is no end in sight. But there have been some changes on the black slate floor. Under the shimmer of light on the lemon's body, there are some dark red mottled blood stains on it, most of which have dried up, have turned black, and even have traces of wear, as if they were worn off when they passed by on their knees...

In the faint white light, as the little girl crawled forward, the sparse blood stains became more and more dense, and later became layered, so that every piece of ground under her was covered by this black cigar-like thing.

The lemon crawled slowly in the bright red earth, surrounded by endless engulfing darkness, leaving two shallow scratches.

There are many more of these scratches around, overlapping each other, criss-crossed, disorganized, and going in different directions.

Finally, Lemon came to the bottom, and in front of him stood a black stone wall, which looked slightly curved from a distance, as if it were a sign that the building was round.

Lemon was not surprised at all when she saw this, as if she already knew, she began to feel the wall, crawling along the wall with difficulty, her body seemed very weak and weak, and she lacked a sense of balance, so she fell again and again, and then struggled to get up again.

Ark wasn't surprised, but he felt like he was going crazy, even when his sister was missing and he was being executed by that black weirdo.

"Don't. Don't. No.. Don't continue. No.. Stop it.. Lemon.. Stop it.. ”

Even if I cut myself into shredded meat little by little, I don't have this kind of torment at all.

For half an hour, Lemon traveled slowly, but kept moving forward to bring her to her destination.

- A door describing the texture of black stone.

Lemon wanted to reach out and touch it, but subconsciously retracted, as if thinking of something terrifying, and was a little hesitant for a while, not daring to push it away.

"Right。。 That's it, let's go back. Now is not the time. Let's go back. Lemon.. I beg you. Ake let out a hysterical roar from the side, but unfortunately his sister couldn't hear it.

Lemon was lying in front of the door, her cute little face full of struggle.

Finally, he reached out and pressed his hand on the door.
