Chapter XXVI

From this apartment, you can see the buildings that line the city center.

Employees who catch the morning train rush through the streets, and elderly people walking their dogs take the initiative to avoid the side.

A black jeep was parked outside the main gate of the apartment. Kelly pushed open the back door and stepped out of the car.

"Here you are," a man dressed as a clerk reached out from the open car door and handed Kelly a bulging paper bag, "everything you need to start a new life." Our contact details are also included, but please be sure to use them in case of emergency. If you want to talk to someone, you can also dig out a few flyers for your dance class in your bag. You see, we're very human. Just don't forget, pay attention to every word you say. He waved at Kelly and closed the door.

The car drove away from the apartment and disappeared around the corner of the street.

Kelly opened the bag, took out the key on top, and walked towards the door of the apartment.

At this moment, a familiar figure slowly walked in front of Kelly.

"Hello, Kelly." The man in the maintenance man's costume muttered and walked into the alley not far away.

Kelly froze in place for a few seconds, then clasped her arms around the paper bag, held back tears, and ran towards the alley.

The alley is located between two apartment buildings. There are no windows on the walls on either side, and no other people are in sight.

While running behind the man, Kelly threw the paper bag to the ground and pounced, trying to take the man into her arms, but she just went through the man's body and stopped in front of the man.

"I'm sorry, Kelly." The man said, "Again, I'm sorry, my voice sounds a little different. ”

Kelly looked at Donald, who was glowing faintly, and shook her head slightly. "Who are you?" She asked.

"Your husband." Donald responded, "That man who always wants to help you, but always makes things worse. ”

Kelly swept tears from the corners of her eyes and squeezed out a smile. "I knew you would come back." "Look at our new home," she said. Everything will be fine. ”

"Definitely." "But I'm afraid, I can't stay long." I left in such a hurry that I didn't explain many things to you. So, I want to talk to you one last time and finish it all decently. ”

"You're always like that, trying to fix something that's not broken at all." Kelly said, "You showed up like this and told me this was our last exchange, and I should be happy about it?" You need to understand that you can't always arrange everything for me. There are some things that I need to face alone. ”

"Not what you think, Kelly." "I never figured out what I wanted or how I could make myself satisfied, but when I helped you and saw that I could solve your problems, it all went away," Donald said. That feeling really addicted me, even though I knew that over-help would cause you a lot of trouble. So, the truth is, I haven't done a single thing for you, I've done it for myself. You see, in the end, it was you who misunderstood, and I was actually living for myself all along. I want you to do the same, to live the way you want to be in your new environment. ”

The light that made up Donald detached upwards and dissipated little by little.

Kelly watched all of this, then silently stepped forward, picked up the paper bag on the ground, and didn't say another word.

Outside the alley, a faint yellow glow drifted back to a hand.

Ziang clenched his hand and disappeared into the crowd.
