【Jello is a young girl with a lot of heart and vitality.】

【Her sweet and beautiful singing voice can lift the spirits of even the saddest souls, and she's also quite popular amongst everyone.】

A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAkI3ZvQWTJ2
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
365Please respect copyright.PENANANCnnEZ2iB1
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAzSl1BwDamw
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAvyUeZvoHHP
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANALI3qmpsCrV
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAairkK6wnz0
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA7eJJ1NQPx2
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAHOORgViE9B
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA4FiROest8h
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAmm7keA7yMJ
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
365Please respect copyright.PENANARZXIlmmItC
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
365Please respect copyright.PENANA9i7FcYfVF1
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAPxybn1gjyp
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..
365Please respect copyright.PENANAGx21UYv9Tf
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
365Please respect copyright.PENANAMUCnY8z0AW
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
365Please respect copyright.PENANA2joOhsWxEz
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAlUdy3x4gOo
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAF4Kd0YKGuG
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
365Please respect copyright.PENANArInlE4DoBx
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...
365Please respect copyright.PENANAikaNO0XdsN
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
365Please respect copyright.PENANAAeIxAGvQTN
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAF5KgOq5Xfa
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
365Please respect copyright.PENANADObi0KAFzw
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
365Please respect copyright.PENANAIWUzfdIN3Y
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAeZGCQokzHj
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
365Please respect copyright.PENANASRlENRRlAf
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA41etRvN3Sx
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAGSF8Pk4HQO
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAUV70pCrcqW
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
365Please respect copyright.PENANALGclG2OjM5
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
365Please respect copyright.PENANAwgyMVygQne
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA4avtk0Ypyd
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
365Please respect copyright.PENANAduyxCf8bdf
I said with my face beaming.
365Please respect copyright.PENANALP3Ro3hqNY
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAzWooYKnSZG
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
365Please respect copyright.PENANAeuFpjImC6Q
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
365Please respect copyright.PENANAkgty90m7b0
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAza0ZNuO0QO
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
365Please respect copyright.PENANAik48t0eaY2
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."
365Please respect copyright.PENANAGZycmvB36Z
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAhQHEemXKPO
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAU7Q7etfjHt
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
365Please respect copyright.PENANARqzcJvRZ5W
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
365Please respect copyright.PENANAfPJe19jTNx
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAtdDZM4bujz
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
365Please respect copyright.PENANATNtYH6EQan
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAkcCQxCf4xt
On the front of the envelope was my name.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAF2hBSWybv8
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
365Please respect copyright.PENANACzQ0nS02rW
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAbHJDUL4lLY
I opened it carefully.
365Please respect copyright.PENANACmRZ9FLzIW
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA99iQwwJHkx
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
365Please respect copyright.PENANATbVv2hPQfD
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAqqEPYWBE36
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
365Please respect copyright.PENANAqsQQMTw9pM
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..
365Please respect copyright.PENANAdOsaxSL4Wt
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
365Please respect copyright.PENANA2endgzHI0X
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAb7jCwcZBfo
"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?"
365Please respect copyright.PENANAAptrW3sxH0
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
365Please respect copyright.PENANAkQGhiKaCXd
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
365Please respect copyright.PENANA5RSlpebGsD
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAK53kaZWkAs
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
365Please respect copyright.PENANAzVBUetW0YG
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA37vpks4laE
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAQESJhqywhf
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAOt043y6BhA
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
365Please respect copyright.PENANAaCXFvLzBev
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
365Please respect copyright.PENANACTWPDwp53w
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAduP09Xg832
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAePFSME5kH2
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAiuSb1w6O2x
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAcvEPxWoSK8
A few days later, I received another letter.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA78KVeFZPJe
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAMe8leiJ9ke
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAAUHQSFM1G1
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA2PdB5ijD4t
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAn1jVVpz0dO
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
365Please respect copyright.PENANABWX2UJkKvd
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA0m7gi4Qlgy
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA2rrsfoQ89G
Pudding : "Any good news?"
365Please respect copyright.PENANAVxGhGLlJxV
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
365Please respect copyright.PENANAiDBZ1N7tdd
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
365Please respect copyright.PENANAcBXrijKIKE
Pudding said calmly.
365Please respect copyright.PENANABZw24oNnCK
Oh.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAPLq2QAeVuS
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA9aC66yV2Mk
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA3Y2YqC3d1k
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAQcR18nBZIh
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAoIti3FMDBs
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
365Please respect copyright.PENANASfiIAGJJYu
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAgiBeeyZcX3
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAtbBegrg8Lz
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
365Please respect copyright.PENANATxlBvSHmfv
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAc4i5WBc6tP
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
365Please respect copyright.PENANASJ779CZVL2
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAKq5EYlATsE
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANACK7jrzIA2E
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAWkJIHtvZ8C
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAD4BKHhTxIi
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAliAuGAihUR
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAm9xqdhTSZ5
After all, she talks about him so happily.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAHMdrHfVPcg
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
365Please respect copyright.PENANAjC2pSBLKXn
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAQTzph167q3
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
365Please respect copyright.PENANA7l1K7waTuu
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAcyGnbmSzXz
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
365Please respect copyright.PENANAOVwdTLkpUk
Jello : "Okay!"
365Please respect copyright.PENANAF8859iW2LD
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAZJPELtzWZy
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA7uN2HxH437

Putting it that way, the words just mystified me.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAqyj1Cmpeqh
Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
365Please respect copyright.PENANAfNQVrsrg6g
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAivl9HmTjL5
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAOgMajuiJPs
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
365Please respect copyright.PENANAg3q18oyt0k
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
365Please respect copyright.PENANAYI4QgyBOGE
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
365Please respect copyright.PENANA7TEUN1Y4Yq
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
365Please respect copyright.PENANA8UdgpZelX8
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
365Please respect copyright.PENANA7So6L2g5HF
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
365Please respect copyright.PENANACuhaS3JRVa
Jello : "Uhm..."
365Please respect copyright.PENANAQEqfISF6lt
Pudding has always been like that.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA9Dvyxp7fcs
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAcbaW0eu133
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
365Please respect copyright.PENANALFlArEDQsq
Jello : "Okay...?"
365Please respect copyright.PENANA5kZygm7CnB
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA6IcyOmgSfb
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
365Please respect copyright.PENANAP7g20pfjyB
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAIlF1z8QAZG
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAOoAKmTNAHY
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
365Please respect copyright.PENANAtYhHRDhVBu
Maybe it's because I'm a Food Soul that time really doesn't mean much to me.

365Please respect copyright.PENANAqmeBw8uONQ
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAJIwqidr5DJ
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAdU3w83xOTm
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA9IGGV2WbUy
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAlrKJeeTKaT
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
365Please respect copyright.PENANAfwvZCOpdzf
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAywolyGfvXl
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
365Please respect copyright.PENANARc2TKKvY0o
The stage would be all lit up next.
365Please respect copyright.PENANATCsEexpSJR
A shining, brilliant world that would soon belong to me.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAGX9auIhVtY
It was a familiar routine, yet this time i felt a different kind of energy running through me.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAnDjJ1JmQvO
"Hello everybody~ I am your Jello! Today, Jello's soft and sweet songs will put a smile on your face!"
365Please respect copyright.PENANAZyg1y6VmI5
The audience cheered loudly, and the music started, ringing out across the expanse of the auditorium.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAS8rqY4NQD3
Lacy, can you hear it?
365Please respect copyright.PENANA6a7biNwaiH
The future that Jello wants to tell you about is a place where everyone can be happy together.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAsMxDwpCr8e

365Please respect copyright.PENANAh1G8h9BHgy
(In the darkness surrounding the stage, waves of yellow and green lightsticks pulsated to the rhythm of the words and the music, twinkling like a sea of stars.)
365Please respect copyright.PENANAtgASFtGSo8
(Out of the blue, I had a recollection, a flash of a distant, long forgotten memory floating up to the surface of my mind.)
365Please respect copyright.PENANAFe5xwC4K0y
(The silvery light of the full moon hanging in the night sky illuminated a silent forest.)
365Please respect copyright.PENANAflKfjVIVli
(Two thin figures, the gentle whoosh of the wind rustling through the leaves.)
365Please respect copyright.PENANAjnKbZLNZxT
A familiar song.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAE7WdkfDc3Y
Eh? Was that... Jello's voice?
365Please respect copyright.PENANAGBFgyzLohR
The concert was a smash hit, just as planned.
But when all was said and done, Lacy was nowhere to be seen.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAGGrwYsqzwt
But my eyes had been moistened as if sweat had entered them.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAa7xAriygMw
Whether bustling city or peaceful town, when night falls they all transform into a world of quiet.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAy6QzyeAOcm
Jello was walking down the street by herself.
This was the first time she'd come here since her Master Attendant had passed.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA70YOpwVsq1
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAN1XgI2HIwb
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANALdLVnqufTZ
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAczZx9AW5sO
Exploring this road, it was like she had discovered a whole new world.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA9elyUPRdwe
Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAaNpomdmrwX
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA6w3Ev7jNgP
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAOMr5bqWT5H
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAtGGyc9qeNP
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAKYhYe0VoUo
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAypoRhziOLH
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1rWVmbyUw
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.

She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAFS020uFou7
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
365Please respect copyright.PENANAUzbHQ28AhT
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
365Please respect copyright.PENANA1j9RXAdq5I
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA0h2811PPVH
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAu0wMtWZ3r4
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
365Please respect copyright.PENANAB0NFHRvOD9
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
365Please respect copyright.PENANAdWq7jZB7hY
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAvfRJvizXMd
Child : "So it was you!~"
365Please respect copyright.PENANAPbzKVL0vm4
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAUmvZNwN50f
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
365Please respect copyright.PENANALbojrt9TsI
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
365Please respect copyright.PENANAB1zGc0QyEi
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAk5sk21OzJ9
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
365Please respect copyright.PENANAtK3vxC0MSz
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAvr6OHMITjo
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
365Please respect copyright.PENANAwjigYEcScO
Jello was completely taken aback.
365Please respect copyright.PENANATMJvzhGSHO
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
365Please respect copyright.PENANAZXyouitZmE
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA0J6Ieea6AI
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
365Please respect copyright.PENANA7TfoYspY9a
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
365Please respect copyright.PENANAkXPjJ8liUc
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
365Please respect copyright.PENANAgBZuWjFiCx
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
365Please respect copyright.PENANAhJkG7CYUPY
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
365Please respect copyright.PENANAmDhmP4e535
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
365Please respect copyright.PENANAm5SG4h8Y3y
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
365Please respect copyright.PENANAPPx4Saf46E
Jello waved her hands frantically.
365Please respect copyright.PENANALjYilpAevB
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."
365Please respect copyright.PENANAkobOrhiGBw
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
365Please respect copyright.PENANAqMz6e3ZdNU
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAE2WTdUJeIb
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
365Please respect copyright.PENANANygX004h0J
Jello said with a smile.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAfWq7mUxLnc
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAEiFoLm6xj0
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
365Please respect copyright.PENANAzWL7EGdLkO
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAUjxvnGh4te
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAJJn8b2TrXG
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAZIFVtTaaJN
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAlqhdPAdq26
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
365Please respect copyright.PENANAoTPPdvvnpd
【Jello - END】
