【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.】
511Please respect copyright.PENANARXLulp2Lru
A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAAVNJwzSz11
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAnFyymniZXP
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.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAbr57yU1757
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.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAoaK8Ud4S5i
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.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAm53mAWqFra
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAr4BVgwwiQC
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAz3nzNFVT5M
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAgviwc4GqSZ
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.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAPqKQ2waKWh
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.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAOKuKdoX9Co
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAQWkzIP8KFc
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
511Please respect copyright.PENANATPzx2JNXBx
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAJaWBdXuezn
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..
511Please respect copyright.PENANAZl7Ea6DBUr
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
511Please respect copyright.PENANAlFHlcI6brb
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
511Please respect copyright.PENANArmzN8jtkBR
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.
511Please respect copyright.PENANA68mo0KQiL6
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAWqwadqMyYM
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
511Please respect copyright.PENANAhzBM22Auph
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...
511Please respect copyright.PENANAWpISSSqlff
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
511Please respect copyright.PENANAc9r2p8zilD
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAOYV4UyoFgh
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
511Please respect copyright.PENANAx4xoqDmP2j
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
511Please respect copyright.PENANAIRzRDRSEEE
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
511Please respect copyright.PENANA0NBmi4B9ps
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAMQVyrkmQ0q
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
511Please respect copyright.PENANA0nGwr5C1Jw
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAhsQ5AZ1BNV
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAHNRIP9V640
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAdfvKATZ3l2
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
511Please respect copyright.PENANA8GAjjzCUc5
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAOfzMlHUue6
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
511Please respect copyright.PENANAJaG96GBT1K
I said with my face beaming.
511Please respect copyright.PENANADPp2h9RSCd
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.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAdOrrty9ORF
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
511Please respect copyright.PENANADDGpipS9k5
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
511Please respect copyright.PENANAfnNqUaUh4v
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAZIHiqYODPc
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
511Please respect copyright.PENANAoi16wMtnUg
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."
511Please respect copyright.PENANA1HaHBK6rhb
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.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAsbjIVLvbtv
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAmX7778jLeM
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAxcxGt9dwTK
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
511Please respect copyright.PENANAwi2yW0NjxI
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAujRKNscfPN
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
511Please respect copyright.PENANADWm4hfSNvV
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAMHTdfQOz2D
On the front of the envelope was my name.
511Please respect copyright.PENANA2QxzoJgAjG
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0p1Ybp5sU
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.
511Please respect copyright.PENANArzC1GNJRHq
I opened it carefully.
511Please respect copyright.PENANA0m1L3DvII4
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.
511Please respect copyright.PENANALWBOS3B4hK
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
511Please respect copyright.PENANA88IsQ11Vmc
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAsSnDovEGKB
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
511Please respect copyright.PENANAWz3iA1zdkR
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..
511Please respect copyright.PENANAUGgWie726W
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
511Please respect copyright.PENANAaOIZSvchem
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAAxIUMI8VGg
"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?"
511Please respect copyright.PENANATHjQzfRRt8
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
511Please respect copyright.PENANA1TQ4EObMgD
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
511Please respect copyright.PENANAtJ3HSpkcxV
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAIhBCflXgNY
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
511Please respect copyright.PENANAtPNnwGA7dc
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAc7IswOr1dj
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.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAxfbOt9k8pU
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAOW4RkXOcRB
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
511Please respect copyright.PENANAOAx6n0mSZ8
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAiKd9hShDsH
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAMbXJbHm6YJ
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.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAJPsbe1FBnB
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAzoyxlvCGSn
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAMxQBWur0GC
A few days later, I received another letter.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAA5inVSibuV
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.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAjdoQCLoX08
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.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAU3kbfYpYqV
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
511Please respect copyright.PENANA7DLkW1J1JP
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAqxOejomOXa
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAh2gCX8v801
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
511Please respect copyright.PENANA5wYFxQk5L1
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
511Please respect copyright.PENANA1OkRdsH9ZA
Pudding : "Any good news?"
511Please respect copyright.PENANAVUbhaK1lsT
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
511Please respect copyright.PENANAqzU3unpXXo
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
511Please respect copyright.PENANAgKXlNB2GMt
Pudding said calmly.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAzRWNviuQc1
Oh.
511Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ygy7KZ7bL
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.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAE0dEr75pJh
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
511Please respect copyright.PENANA47dP7JVLAb
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAuVgzKVYIKE
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
511Please respect copyright.PENANA5zOXAyQivv
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAvPht297LXo
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.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAF40ngwNiqw
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
511Please respect copyright.PENANABDn8HzQ9oF
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAHCmNT8wWCa
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.
511Please respect copyright.PENANA2CGLb4yEbM
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
511Please respect copyright.PENANALPZFFeAN9z
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.
511Please respect copyright.PENANA8uH5ZVPZaF
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.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAjc1IytBdJX
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAKAv10WTZlA
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAjWGTJcqI23
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAtah01imXaL
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
511Please respect copyright.PENANArGNXBk4Ptp
After all, she talks about him so happily.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAATC5a9a8Mf
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
511Please respect copyright.PENANAjqnNEft7GW
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
511Please respect copyright.PENANA3zsRqw1s3J
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
511Please respect copyright.PENANAKLTANiWm9Z
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
511Please respect copyright.PENANASZJACYZXcl
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
511Please respect copyright.PENANA0QZRpkMOUC
Jello : "Okay!"
511Please respect copyright.PENANAppRX84HMg2
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAhjdxe5nQXs
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAOAJoiQ5BWs

511Please respect copyright.PENANADMKvTGizqc
Putting it that way, the words just mystified me.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAOsEYObOoWs
Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
511Please respect copyright.PENANA5pDYjD9yUl
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAip1iGsG13F
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAYeTeD8xESV
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
511Please respect copyright.PENANAzyBAH6UKA7
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
511Please respect copyright.PENANABSUMD8jVT4
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
511Please respect copyright.PENANAfYLRN18eu4
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
511Please respect copyright.PENANA9GJ6zvrSlR
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
511Please respect copyright.PENANAvSRKoDiexn
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
511Please respect copyright.PENANASvgduVIU1L
Jello : "Uhm..."
511Please respect copyright.PENANABitt6a3nUJ
Pudding has always been like that.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAcOnmgtWvMT
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAGrteF7qG8L
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
511Please respect copyright.PENANA5T5wuMgB4C
Jello : "Okay...?"
511Please respect copyright.PENANAMWDJvsFZJO
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAf4RKcyUy4N
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
511Please respect copyright.PENANAq1cgPVleM3
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
511Please respect copyright.PENANA0U4VpULAJk
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.
511Please respect copyright.PENANA5oLQdUEUIe
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
511Please respect copyright.PENANAO4ErsMZxpp
Maybe it's because I'm a Food Soul that time really doesn't mean much to me.

I wrote this to tell her about the future i see in my mind's eye.
511Please respect copyright.PENANA058Xja6c9i
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.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAgM5t3uqtzn
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
511Please respect copyright.PENANA60JDF3VtcL
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
511Please respect copyright.PENANA5goeMoulpH
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.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAE4vUKmfeus
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
511Please respect copyright.PENANAoP0TIup8te
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
511Please respect copyright.PENANA6eP5i9ez3M
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAUkDV82FUs1
The stage would be all lit up next.
511Please respect copyright.PENANA4UjCpihJJD
A shining, brilliant world that would soon belong to me.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAUxs7s1KOq0
It was a familiar routine, yet this time i felt a different kind of energy running through me.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAKG7P6z9uHU
"Hello everybody~ I am your Jello! Today, Jello's soft and sweet songs will put a smile on your face!"
511Please respect copyright.PENANAKQkC77t9Z4
The audience cheered loudly, and the music started, ringing out across the expanse of the auditorium.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAcvznC1PXav
Lacy, can you hear it?
511Please respect copyright.PENANATwb8eKrnPo
The future that Jello wants to tell you about is a place where everyone can be happy together.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAqnSwFifQFh
So don't go to a lonely island alone.

(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.)
511Please respect copyright.PENANAwQDvnEOASw
(Out of the blue, I had a recollection, a flash of a distant, long forgotten memory floating up to the surface of my mind.)
511Please respect copyright.PENANAhK3XgrasNr
(The silvery light of the full moon hanging in the night sky illuminated a silent forest.)
511Please respect copyright.PENANAesFuY3pFQ5
(Two thin figures, the gentle whoosh of the wind rustling through the leaves.)
511Please respect copyright.PENANAKY7ILhivke
A familiar song.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAbTXSITErDV
Eh? Was that... Jello's voice?
511Please respect copyright.PENANArTczCge2Yp
The concert was a smash hit, just as planned.
But when all was said and done, Lacy was nowhere to be seen.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAdnLyAwORA2
But my eyes had been moistened as if sweat had entered them.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAOsggLFhEIs
Whether bustling city or peaceful town, when night falls they all transform into a world of quiet.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAS6ueUpz1to
Jello was walking down the street by herself.
This was the first time she'd come here since her Master Attendant had passed.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAhkRl6cev2x
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.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAFAIu5gcKKW
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.
511Please respect copyright.PENANANcxP5zDm9U
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.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAcqkW0uCspZ
Exploring this road, it was like she had discovered a whole new world.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAb8vLvmVyVS
Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAcnHum8k6SJ
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAoLF4OHPvbm
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAD4Gw24tgwq
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAXsrhX5DEeM
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAIB8kpR8NHD
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAe0s2LnmgsW
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.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAk6Zc9Xx0cB
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.

She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
511Please respect copyright.PENANA8GAO0bYTPH
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
511Please respect copyright.PENANAokR5EEShrh
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
511Please respect copyright.PENANA2X8yvkSEji
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAqHSRGoxXmL
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.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAl5YFB3clPn
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
511Please respect copyright.PENANAqq4yHmaVUh
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
511Please respect copyright.PENANAwYscMiLy2S
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAK496u2aXf1
Child : "So it was you!~"
511Please respect copyright.PENANA0q9UeXbbyO
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
511Please respect copyright.PENANA3kOn1f7xCP
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
511Please respect copyright.PENANACvV20FA689
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
511Please respect copyright.PENANAs4k8MdHYBN
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAi2XtHf4idR
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
511Please respect copyright.PENANAhz4mkXIi9U
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAAz9vbrWGMG
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
511Please respect copyright.PENANAijwB2kAZch
Jello was completely taken aback.
511Please respect copyright.PENANA5FS34MWwAc
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
511Please respect copyright.PENANAUMxoWBEflo
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAhtztIiqSow
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
511Please respect copyright.PENANAp5KqfsNz6C
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
511Please respect copyright.PENANAGImCvxIUG1
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
511Please respect copyright.PENANAgPQV30CpWM
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
511Please respect copyright.PENANAS83Psa9KlN
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
511Please respect copyright.PENANAtkDP3R3lg7
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
511Please respect copyright.PENANAwlJkZ93vyB
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
511Please respect copyright.PENANAEtDUeHh9yK
Jello waved her hands frantically.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAa2OWXifyHX
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."
511Please respect copyright.PENANApNIxyuARYF
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
511Please respect copyright.PENANA7sG2IP6uCq
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAMKxETKFrna
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
511Please respect copyright.PENANAOeGrpO7mMq
Jello said with a smile.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAFHeYJFoiHW
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAU9hLzVYy68
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
511Please respect copyright.PENANAPyqiyBKWeu
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAuzVc0zwnHQ
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAqPfSoRa7Wc
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAb4jaZZNX32
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
511Please respect copyright.PENANAKXj1Wn3ThH
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
511Please respect copyright.PENANAiSz2qUc4qM
【Jello - END】
