【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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAwC8h3LMXL2
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAHUFsfXId2g
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAy8wyuER3xy
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAUTwzJqhveM
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAZnpc5AD8uu
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAreFDrYvKYf
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAD3Qkg2c1IS
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAtTLe4MYCOQ
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAZIGISLAObe
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANATaRaI98qHE
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA6GjF4DeBiI
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
370Please respect copyright.PENANA4mSLRM8J9S
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAT2wihFzgYE
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..
370Please respect copyright.PENANAWvASC0skel
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAqe1PJV4dgP
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAl1NqfohKKF
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAj01KfF8CEY
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
370Please respect copyright.PENANACOglj8yiDM
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAZPj8LjOoY4
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...
370Please respect copyright.PENANAH3L1FYnoPI
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAN07aWfoyVf
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA5zA4TxREy2
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAgr2xNWwkaY
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAcrRh2sORuY
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAc9mGDp0WAt
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA6idJb0Sskl
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAfKVwbml5CN
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAJOBILLH0hV
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAP1iWENMXOY
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
370Please respect copyright.PENANANwUzjmydum
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAJfgbtpGck0
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAKljQAFg3lv
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAIB8xSb0wm0
I said with my face beaming.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAoiwcbZrwgR
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAlMXJh8uLt0
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
370Please respect copyright.PENANA5KWyk4psm9
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAArd4lIqidu
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAbwhO0XWQbQ
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAokDcqBGDJI
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."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAx1GYZd9Qrg
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAHcHGndMvUj
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA2AbRsLxR3C
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA1i81G52iXG
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAf8jZKVrBwq
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAqeVZyt7UPQ
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAJVE7lHZ8HH
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAFPpMrjNYqO
On the front of the envelope was my name.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAxFWiXfQvnx
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAiUTMh2O73v
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAi6wild9sbX
I opened it carefully.
370Please respect copyright.PENANANn8N2iFods
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANATYlVdeAo4l
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAmDPBQttCeE
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAlI7OECJnK5
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
370Please respect copyright.PENANA5SjarwLSko
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..
370Please respect copyright.PENANANpZn8lBb4o
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAHYapFeyRT3
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAHGgNRbJf6p
"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?"
370Please respect copyright.PENANABwvZi3J8Bv
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
370Please respect copyright.PENANA1vEJzKgXY7
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAHQd3EHnkBS
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3G3qU4SP8
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAhgZqDE4GIq
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAdjmbTIf1FH
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAPxpHXMCWS6
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAffvJ4Hc8Pj
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
370Please respect copyright.PENANAo6BX0a0VIa
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAuSVgwwBZQf
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAmOq9zN2uXK
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAVeF4uXkqYU
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAXpqgRN9T3A
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
370Please respect copyright.PENANArDAvTAXRyR
A few days later, I received another letter.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA1ssgsB5pVT
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA2Nhjl2cGHt
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAGt7lui8R8o
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAbJab64wbP3
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAy1wIEqWVfs
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAnTNEkW1YJJ
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAGjoU6s11oo
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAn1vnwtjF8h
Pudding : "Any good news?"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAd89nLe0zvB
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAIS1PfxpnCb
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAHhzCnegac7
Pudding said calmly.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAx473ARj5GP
Oh.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAB4Uj01jO2V
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA6w7p3GKkXr
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAQVJuOrn6k0
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAIeE0C9OH5w
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAEU2SG3mbvB
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAAJEe2cCE1Y
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAEOPqeMwlbA
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAl6vad5ZORL
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA86yihvR5aV
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAp56aEXQa2l
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAW8Rt18TrL7
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA8XakxcnKY8
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAGZAj23kiL1
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
370Please respect copyright.PENANANClP0ek2Kp
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAiUZPENCK7L
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAnLrRpfcLTn
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAxKv1jVvecG
After all, she talks about him so happily.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAedsHaA0M25
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAl1XwGPWAHK
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAszJO46dKVU
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAO2YJ93sqAx
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAXyvyYGaJiu
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAz0PG4yMjjp
Jello : "Okay!"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAStZZ1yi6tQ
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAM8eWJE8Ckd
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAwqY6vrxUHz

Putting it that way, the words just mystified me.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAmdtnvfz0yd
Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAIA2I9CIZjB
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
370Please respect copyright.PENANACxMiCdXHmZ
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAaXCMtyNbHH
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAWF9sTw9zWS
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
370Please respect copyright.PENANApmHXHqbqKe
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAyXM7rPCzrc
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
370Please respect copyright.PENANANOqK7DZPeV
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAjmcOXpvxat
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
370Please respect copyright.PENANALzzBkXuMwz
Jello : "Uhm..."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAePWJmcZUos
Pudding has always been like that.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAaAF2R5yg8A
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAdqtB6LRYuH
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
370Please respect copyright.PENANA49bbh5VT0z
Jello : "Okay...?"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAb0DEA6kEYu
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
370Please respect copyright.PENANANSJqR6zf6X
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAkLsBLseVYu
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAzNnBcp46w7
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA9Yhx5MI1kg
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
370Please respect copyright.PENANAvSQXDPxV94
Maybe it's because I'm a Food Soul that time really doesn't mean much to me.

370Please respect copyright.PENANAu1CAFlJb5q
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA4oWIJeJlU1
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAGJYiUMOZLd
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
370Please respect copyright.PENANADliiro89dH
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA0oVUiqjk3k
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
370Please respect copyright.PENANAX14Cr3a6FD
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAQpQvHcDPAj
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAqg9ca8VNNY
The stage would be all lit up next.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAXeYBLpPstA
A shining, brilliant world that would soon belong to me.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAXuiFEXOenB
It was a familiar routine, yet this time i felt a different kind of energy running through me.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAyllYSe9TlI
"Hello everybody~ I am your Jello! Today, Jello's soft and sweet songs will put a smile on your face!"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAXbtNInHGel
The audience cheered loudly, and the music started, ringing out across the expanse of the auditorium.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAyCauNjHDXv
Lacy, can you hear it?
370Please respect copyright.PENANAh3K9intZbC
The future that Jello wants to tell you about is a place where everyone can be happy together.
370Please respect copyright.PENANArdqm0RbEz2
So don't go to a lonely island alone.
370Please respect copyright.PENANASbeNooRdsS

370Please respect copyright.PENANAljL10DXizX
(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.)
370Please respect copyright.PENANAGVuBMr2Q4K
(Out of the blue, I had a recollection, a flash of a distant, long forgotten memory floating up to the surface of my mind.)
370Please respect copyright.PENANAH4ojaqxUH2
(The silvery light of the full moon hanging in the night sky illuminated a silent forest.)
370Please respect copyright.PENANA25sxl1n4GM
(Two thin figures, the gentle whoosh of the wind rustling through the leaves.)
370Please respect copyright.PENANAaNMpKw2qrH
A familiar song.
370Please respect copyright.PENANATOfcV6SUmx
Eh? Was that... Jello's voice?
370Please respect copyright.PENANAeOIpZCvCVe
The concert was a smash hit, just as planned.
But when all was said and done, Lacy was nowhere to be seen.
370Please respect copyright.PENANATRkMvGu2aL
But my eyes had been moistened as if sweat had entered them.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA0OkN0c65BE
Whether bustling city or peaceful town, when night falls they all transform into a world of quiet.
370Please respect copyright.PENANASwQ85bjTjl
Jello was walking down the street by herself.
This was the first time she'd come here since her Master Attendant had passed.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAGShE0l8Af0
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA4GIT66dHdG
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAqEsIqnW63h
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANApgcGcfG82e
Exploring this road, it was like she had discovered a whole new world.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA65VSpVTB9H
Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAe9BOoWnoRL
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAnjX8e9yWLh
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAf4zBjyMNUI
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAbWYiKD4Xzz
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA8Civ8rndTk
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAQglWUsXKQz
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.

The two children seemed to be whispering about something.
370Please respect copyright.PENANARrl5L1Ee0h
She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1euijY8Lc
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAS7maxvS8AO
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAeGDlZbDUUl
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAQOP7PjDL8k
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA6tECXb9R0I
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
370Please respect copyright.PENANAbUFCjZ47zN
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
370Please respect copyright.PENANADrEML80v5n
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAJqeTxTXLT2
Child : "So it was you!~"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAnEl5zwpjUf
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAqgDH8WxGkU
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
370Please respect copyright.PENANA7GD8C8jmaO
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
370Please respect copyright.PENANADmrxzfCiZa
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAiqtTvS1xm2
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAKF1wSbcZ55
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAvoNuxHv0Jr
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
370Please respect copyright.PENANA4dupI70Ifh
Jello was completely taken aback.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA810Dan8pEg
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
370Please respect copyright.PENANABp4xsV5COm
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA5FXvMgerII
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAFRM1kJbPAS
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAV5ikKwkahZ
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAEsMb89DKQS
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
370Please respect copyright.PENANAWwqH9RWXZE
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAyWKeUNoaRc
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAoBfQpKrAnM
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
370Please respect copyright.PENANASNabNd3LOD
Jello waved her hands frantically.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAu9pCHnEViV
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."
370Please respect copyright.PENANADkFlHNfD7V
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
370Please respect copyright.PENANA5RCszaCSMq
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA6lGOQgkCfX
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAwVHCQ1fCP7
Jello said with a smile.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAkUB7ofF91X
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAvxNhJzIioz
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAahwIfCXIij
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAe9b0e6n4bU
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAxC6SpqijSZ
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAERJR98bauX
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAEci7NXu4FY
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
370Please respect copyright.PENANAUFrFaPY4nP
