Chapter 386 - Soliloquy

————Someone is watching someone else, who is hugging their knees.

It is a void between voids, where all is filled with blankness.

A small, empty room where looking up or down holds no meaning.

The fragments of consciousness fall away, one by one. How many are left?

Or perhaps, is it just an illusion that any still remain,

And has the existence known as 'I' already vanished, like foam on a wave?

—I wanted to see the stars, I thought.

I wanted to see the sky, I kept thinking.

Just one more time… I want to see the moon, an impossible wish for all eternity.

'I,' who hugs my knees like a child,

'I,' who hugs my knees like an adult,

I, who hugs my knees like a person————someone is watching me.

In the distant, precious memories of someone sinking into a colorless world,

The whisper of 'Red,' which nestled close to 'White' and flickered,

Rang out, whether in dream or reality, and echoed through a small world.
