"Why?"

Nasus looked at Ezreal and said slowly, but it was not necessary at all, to ask.

Actually, does the answer, really, matter?

Time, once again, goes back to that day.

The day the red sun sets.

When Nasus looked out the window, the end of the world at the entire War College.

The door behind him opened.

Someone, walked in.

Nasus didn't look back, but he had already guessed who it was.

He said, "You're finally back." ”

"I'm finally back." The man said, yes, Ezreal.

Time freezes in that moment.

Outside the window, there is still an endless void dust of constantly flying fire meteors.

The red sun is falling.

A deathly silence lingered throughout the room.

No one spoke first, as if everyone was waiting for an opportunity.

A, thoroughly, explosively, opportunity.

"You ......" Nasus, finally, couldn't help but say a word.

A word for you.

"I ......," Ezreal replied with a word.

A word for me.

The suffocating air continued to rise, making the entire room look like a vessel about to burst.

"Let's go." Nasus finally finished speaking.

But this sentence did not let the viscous liquid-like killing intent in the room dissipate.

Instead, it becomes more viscous and thick, like a volcano about to erupt.

"Why should I go?" Ezreal was unmoved.

"Because ......," Nasus was fustinously agitated, and he turned abruptly to look at Ezreal, and said fiercely, "you are no match for me. ”

"Really?" Ezreal asked rhetorically.

Then, Nasus saw the ......

"Why?"

Time is back to the right again.

Returned. Now.

Nasus was bound to the torture table in heavy chains, and Ezreal stood before him.

This time, the question of why was asked by Ezreal herself.

He muttered to himself, as if he remembered something.

That day.

When he walked step by step towards the final place where Chen Senran was imprisoned.

In the bottom of his heart, he constantly stopped himself from moving forward, but he had to move forward.

He heard......

One voice.

"Ezreal ......"

One. Familiar sounds.

He couldn't help but stop.

"Ezreal, my child......"

The voice, again, sounded with a smell that fascinated him.

He couldn't help but turn around.

"Ezreal ......" the voice sounded for the third time.

This time, Ezreal finally saw where the voice came from.

It comes from, the body of a lion.

But it wasn't the voice of the lion.

It's empty. It seemed to come from another plane, through the body of the lion, to Ezreal.

That's, Lalivash's, voice.

Ezreal only remembered to be on guard at this time, and he only thought of the strength of the lion in front of him at this time, and. Lalivash's, strong.

"Don't be nervous. My baby. The lion, or Lalivash, did not move, but he stood not far away, and continued, "I have come to guide you on your way. ”

"Guide me...... Forward. Road? Ezreal suddenly fell into an extremely strange confusion, he struggled to advance and retreat in his heart, and on the other hand, he struggled to choose between the strange beings in front of him.

He was stunned.

"I know, I know your pain. Your confusion, your struggles, and ......" The lion, like a wise man, said slowly in a preachering tone, "your longing." ”

"My ...... Craving? ”

"Yes, I know you're longing to walk in the sun." The lion, Lalivash, spoke, enough, deadly answer.

"In ...... Under the sun, walking. "Ezreal, as if he had really been guided, spoke the words that had been blessed.

"yes......" he laughed, a real smile, not a smile simulated by his built-in Hextech system.

Rather, it was the last remnant of his human memory, which came out of the depths of his mind, a real, soulful expression.

Satisfied, smiling.

"Come, my child, I will give you a qiē."

"Come on......"

Come on.

Ezreal stepped on.

The next moment, darkness engulfed him.

Memory, just here it stopped.

Ezreal looked back at Nasus, this, his best ally ever, maybe, somewhat, friend?

It doesn't matter anymore.

Anyway, soon, it's nothing.

"I'm leaving, is there anything else you want to say to me?" Ezreal hesitated for a moment, then finally said.

This is a sentence with emotion.

"Nope." Nasus wanted to shake his head, but he couldn't.

"Yes." Ezreal nodded and began to leave.

"Wait a minute." Nasus suddenly stopped him.

"How?" Ezreal didn't look back.

"Do you remember, I said that if you want to kill me, I'll wait for you to kill me." Nasus stared at Ezreal's back and said, "Kill me." ”

"......" Ezreal was silent, and then, he shook his head, "No. ”

"Kill Me !!" Nasus roared almost in grief.

But Ezreal never looked back.

Without looking back, he left this room, which belonged to the council.

The moment he finally stepped out the door, he vaguely saw a, a large, dark shadow.

It seems, splayed.

Mouth.

Mouth.

"Ah!!!h Then, to the extreme, there was a cry of pain.

Suffering.

The pain made Ezreal quicken his pace, as if he was about to flee something, from the parliamentary institute that smelled of pain.

He fled to the surface, eager to breathe the air of the world and the best sunshine.

Although, in fact, he didn't need air at all, and he couldn't feel the sun at all.

But, by doing so, it will make him feel better.

It can make him forget about the man's roar for a while.

The man, who had been his only friend, roared in pain.

He fled more quickly, back to the house that belonged to him.

In the house, Caitlin appears to be tending to a newly adopted cat.

The unique silhouette of a girl in the sun finally made him breathe a sigh of relief.

"Izawa, you're back?" Caitlyn spotted him and smiled back at him.

He laughed too.

Ever since he accepted the power of Lalivash.

And he got a qiē.

Sunshine, walking in the sun, and, Caitlin.

In a few days, he will be officially nominated to be a member of Parliament, replacing the recently violently killed Jerichault as the new successor of the War College.

One qiē, it's all better, isn't it?

"By the way, Izawa, look at this cat." As if remembering something, Caitlyn hugged the cat and said to Ezreal, "Like Roy in the past, do you remember the one you saved?" ”

Roy......

Hearing this familiar and unfamiliar name, Ezreal's face turned white as a piece of paper, if his face could still produce this reaction.

Roy, of course he remembered the name.

It was a cat he had saved when he was a child, and when he was still naïve, he found the kitten on a street that was about to starve to death, and he fed it bread that he didn't have enough to eat, watched it drink, and made it his best friend.

Then it died, and Ezreal cried very sadly, and was sad for a long time.

For a long time.

Because it was his childhood best friend.

"Forget about jì." Ezreal said that without any emotion, he seemed to have entered a state of complete desirelessness again.

"Huh?" Caitlyn didn't seem to hear clearly.

"I forgot about it." He repeated, turning and walking upstairs.

Suddenly, he was so tired. (To be continued......)

PS: There is only one shift today.

Happy New Year to all.
