A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49weM3MssQ
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdTITp76yI
I always feel so much better when i look out at a vista such as this.
It's as if I could walk out my door and see him.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjmaoSYcQr
It's a rare day off for me.
Ever since I became an idol, I haven't had even a moment of peace and quiet in what seems like forever.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj3j3sOalV
Walking along the edge of the waves, my feet are occasionally soaked by the waves as i take one step after another into what is like an expanse that just keeps on extending forward.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISp1mExOzC
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUxyD64hLF
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb10W9Dcxg
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgOn6AD5vz
A slightly yellowed paper on which a hand-scrawled messaged is obscured by the golden sunlight peeking through the transparent bottle, but there is nothing else inside.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ1N2UcehZ
I don't know whose wishes were sent adrift across the sea to some far-off place. I only wish that it could float to the place where whoever sent it on its journey had wanted it to go.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVs3QbGrYh
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh68a2MlxE
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpAPKsGh8G
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcecytFKtDy
In my heart of hearts, I wanted so much to see him for real but didn't know if I would, but the moment I turned around to see him I just smiled and said..
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OL1wcTYkU
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN0K1nf5X8
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViMQ68ayKC
Pudding pushed his sunglasses up and earnestly went about the business of foraging through the contents of the small notebook that had been lying in the inner pocket of his shirt.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5AzH4wH2D
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MLOvSfuNS
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mNXeyNU3v
As an idol, my activities hold a lot of weight.But listen, there's thing that's kept me from resting easy at night, and that is...
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjmIhTC2Lv
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfC0sIWgjP
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5A1yhtZv4
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJD3zt3wag
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROvUl04kLG
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLbTUOhIA6
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmxYkA53Pm
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuGKdHppOv
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzWRRX1X0p
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHDDj0YqMq
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx4TymeFcB
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvHFYANxoO
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZL7uALuHy
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANEzP3hHY5
I said with my face beaming.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRAN19NuRI
When i said this, Pudding's usual deadpan expression turned to a frown, which is the one emotion i could ever read from looking at his face hidden behind dark sunglasses.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrUHurZpxb
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjmhzcbaRD
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3AIG5Vjyt
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpliB5ocJVU
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4e52ZxMfz
Jello :
"That's fine, just donate them to the orphanage like you always do, and i'll keep those amazing songs coming for my fans."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LN4dbExoQ
When i was an up-and-coming singer, i often went to an orphanage in an old street with Pudding, where i would sing songs for the children.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c1CffqjNg
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC41aECHQX
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8wZzXdYW4
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5Nz4Z2CqT
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrpwn2858Z
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGkhiLHigc
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qTqmjCnew
On the front of the envelope was my name.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd2VxiCK2q
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk3YkPUvIb
I would like to know what the humans thought of my existence. That's the reason why i was so curious about the contents of the letter.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Kljr6WoaW
I opened it carefully.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5UBYdzMXW
There were two papers inside.
One was an ordinary yellow-green paper with nothing written on it, and the other paper was torn with only an unknown address scrawled onto it.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBuAGOLyMC
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0BKGOwYtm
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZt7pI3op8
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GatgNNfNK
Pudding came sneaking up behind me and i started to panic.
Maybe i was too into what i was doing to pay attention to anything else..
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMD0DbT2Ro
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtniq7OUEgx
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OkQHJMrDE
"But they didn't say anything about it at all. Jello can't understand what the humans are thinking about, so what should i write to them?"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUtQ5OcBqk
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6R6hDgLGG
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM9yxGbZnk
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6lqjMIGNK
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOy8jkPE8l
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57SHpYGFXs
Though i tried to think up of lots of captivating things that an idol should talk about with their fans, i couldn't make up my mind on what i should write.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLBx5U0fEs
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HnFzNSa2K
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xRzKrl1fY
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wc3PqFWlx
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfFam7AUHd
I didn't even know what kind of expression would cross their face as they read my letter.
As an idol on the stage, i always see people smiling at me.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuYb5PLIXi
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECLJ4THWvs
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXjneuokg4
A few days later, I received another letter.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHJ4ObNjT1
They say their name is Lacy.
She has been in love with my music since the first time she heard it.
She says my songs bring her hope and inspiration because she feels the happiness in my music.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDeNCDP163
The letter was only a few lines long, but it made me so happy i could jump for joy.
The letter wasn't formatted and remained unsigned.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLp7k4vmZq
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLg700DzMy
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oiCIKpFX2
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWbbkD9a2V
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5XUwWyPwO
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTqBBpqYZS
Pudding : "Any good news?"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKpzw6JGy6
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjqkvR9yck
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbr9fi1YOW
Pudding said calmly.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yi22ddmqx
Oh.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEN3L0UwFR
I felt my cheeks flush at the words.
I realized that feeling of joy overflowing from the bottom of my heart was about, and because, of the person standing right in front of me.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFqwpvgq49
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLhnDQxYsK
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9PTRmFV3v
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGRsyh284y
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGgkanSXop
I often complained to Lacey about the way that Pudding keeps blathering on about my schedule and reputation, but then he wouldn't allow me to see the children at the orphanage, or let me go back onstage when the audience yells 'Encore!' like I used to.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreY2LsmS1F
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP1LbrkCQK
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ105UXYmmBa
From the time i first met him to the time he became my manager, there was nothing he couldn't do.
He's so well organized.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYzGbda0G2
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp81n4QDvs
I've never seen Lacy.
But when i do, i would tell this intimate stranger so many things about my life that i normally couldn't tell anyone else.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5C7fZPs4j
I guess Lacy thinks the same way, because she's told me so many things about herself, she told me what happened when she met her friend Joel for the first time, and how he disappeared so suddenly, only to meet up again a few years later.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTku7lS0Uoo
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGX4F2mWUm
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBnvfUbDH2
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNWYRRqjBa
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQEDtumH6G
After all, she talks about him so happily.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMISe8HlZbc
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn27LYecMKW
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCsvuVP6pe
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkEnxShyeY
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83OCg3T1IO
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJjmULbn19
Jello : "Okay!"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifhImFsGZM
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU3za83qqJ
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.

Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T8IOySt4M
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EjuYxPhK7
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XrLxZeFg7
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTYeM5KeBA
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp8CXklw5y
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA0ZABAEEw
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywboic2THB
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvt9PQ9vMt
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVpJ6EYSCc
Jello : "Uhm..."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd0ZGNjZSx
Pudding has always been like that.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8GSqRCcZw
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzIlDpiyKJ
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcScL0Xtld

554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYrnoUmDGO
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.

Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtPDYUrbht
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6J2jahkxO
I took out the yellow-green stationery that i buried deep inside the drawer. I don't know if it's because of the passage of time, but i noticed the paper already beginning to yellow in some places.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7rRw2FeRK
Has time really flashed by so quickly?

Maybe it's because I'm a Food Soul that time really doesn't mean much to me.

I put the letter and a ticket for a concert that would be held in three days into the envelope, and then gave it to Pudding.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfZUPxGKCh
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l4bRMpVqX
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxstp1PjJx
Voices chanted as people swarmed underneath the elevated stage. I secretly peeked from behind the curtains, but then i realized i didn't know what Lacy looked like.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcsav95qIV
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36IAS7Kyz6
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZEUJOp177
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2wPk73f5g

554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVABcc1wqxZ

This was the first time she'd come here since her Master Attendant had passed.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmN9BkylUu
As a Food Soul, she couldn't stay too long in the same place; with so much more life time than human beings, she had made the choice to constantly change her living environment.

She just likes people and wanted to keep living among them, the way she had in the beginning when her Master Attendant was still alive.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa19iouyeTn
The weathered buildings looked like they had already been abandoned, so it was surprising that there was still a road through the lush forest
In a way, it was like the trees were covering the road.
As she thought this, suddenly she let out a gleeful laugh.

Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUNeBznngU
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlYT8mhUN2
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDXEcIR7Oq
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW7LMeDZGR
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g5jVbLnR6
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFShIr9KJ3p
On this night as well, Jello came here to sing the same as usual.
The only thing different was that there were two children sitting in her normally deserted meadow.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOBKuZ20FU
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxi0FLdWeM
She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJGfQ4BLVo
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYmIm5diwv
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJAy5JVXjR
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlqaNwdITh
The way the girl spoke was a little awkward, but Jello still understood what she was saying.
On the other hand, the little blonde boy with blue eyes just sat there staring at her without saying a word.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq6kMbzGXU
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLuSMEz0QE
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0ld2VMzPZ
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04NUm3XeHX
Child : "So it was you!~"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1zjZbM9Ic
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z6hefxrEG
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX5QETTtzm
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo210R1YmMb
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QYUG6Z8HC
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd10ehO4cVO
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB8wxEo3HX
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe90PbpIn8d
Jello was completely taken aback.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ2iASjG9R
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYcbOJWz30
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2U2ZdxQeg
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTYvvXYRE7
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErSSgytKAd
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaaLHCmqXC
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgccUfLKJe
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K95Wp4S1X
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXzNWhIR3l
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqb99SjFhh
Jello waved her hands frantically.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrQxbzuh7c
Jello :
"I don't know what you mean by [redeem], but all I can do is sing.
However, everything will be gone tomorrow,
tears, sorrows, whatever, all those things will be transformed into the night's stars."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcMylvHXAX
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQHwC3hjnU
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak2jMtzGvQ
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh5GpJyhux
Jello said with a smile.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkvmgC9r4k
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz3d5hGl5t
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYtv83f4z9
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38hiLHPZjH
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws7QO2GkdX
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW69GJeS2z
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEWyu8uMDz
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JU8VtEEIK
