【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.】
496Please respect copyright.PENANAzn0mlrTTvl
A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
496Please respect copyright.PENANABrVpcnOglM
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAPRPtS2IYsl
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAQVI1LfHikR
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAU5QUJ1XYa9
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAmXMMZ3Ou2m
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAuupSb1jRJR
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAVDEIGLDUjX
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAM1vM8RBvNH
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAYSCcrBtdeE
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAWzAUsbI3tT
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAJTTctqsVjZ
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAmdY637PU74
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAFd5oXjkStp
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..
496Please respect copyright.PENANAzIkXKiNrqE
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAuGH4LkOlNI
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAj0hXEv8bwT
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAvk2n5gepXF
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAViK4aGZ5tm
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAkaphLhcfof
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...
496Please respect copyright.PENANAyzCqrYHgGV
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAd32HbBO8rA
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA60nxrtwPRO
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
496Please respect copyright.PENANALp9tNF2R2G
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAzumaltk6Gi
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAzUAQHNIBwl
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAY3yienQNM8
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAMBo6NASyqq
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
496Please respect copyright.PENANASWwlR0CB4s
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAz1t7dRy0RH
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAohMrEYmFav
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
496Please respect copyright.PENANANGaSAtOjgY
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAQWjUghnZXc
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAOoUTbUgcEr
I said with my face beaming.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA17eQnSKVyR
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA4z2YFngFkC
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAEZli8DABvJ
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAHpzxbtPS3V
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAKUKPwhiVjZ
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAHeKUmmuLMO
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."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAsy6PT2cIwz
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAhhTu7RBiOC
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAbDPvWAHZmu
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAj8QTXD7gD5
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAQl1yGVy2Y6
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAidyqlHicHF
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAaeg36scNOT
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAZO3TUGA9Q2
On the front of the envelope was my name.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAQHYn768giy
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAr6l4usEzaw
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAOsVSIfED1j
I opened it carefully.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAhGzePpwmnx
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANARK2YBccgsq
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAtBoDypARTj
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAA0pweCptGq
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
496Please respect copyright.PENANA8TaE9RHxcW
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..
496Please respect copyright.PENANAEomXsjJM83
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAVMdvjZq9TQ
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
496Please respect copyright.PENANANxAuPJBdra
"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?"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAz56nj6ZPh9
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAPLPsA0qOsY
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAE9VvAOLnCA
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAtV4W5AlWd4
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
496Please respect copyright.PENANA86zgLLWHIS
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA3cQArMFrCi
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAEcuuqpQUJC
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAU2YXoKdyxC
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
496Please respect copyright.PENANAkZMx2lRc3e
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAZKyKdtbEwh
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAxj19gC430R
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANALjvKVlN3Gh
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAkcJGmDKO9k
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAvztDgRXIeW
A few days later, I received another letter.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAy149KZVSni
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAoNPSSctKkn
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAbBrN89pav7
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAqEZe2drgl0
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA30piQdaK3A
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAjQUVFVsuYW
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAYyAc1TzoJE
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAqiK8IwqK0r
Pudding : "Any good news?"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAT7u4tZ1997
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAevjVP9LLBf
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAkncsYTKshv
Pudding said calmly.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAWAGKTrSulT
Oh.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAvW73qxoXl5
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANApee7Btz6u4
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAlzewMmYLFx
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAgEZaaQ9p7I
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAOTK1m1CMDn
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAJsJ1Pdgnqg
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAO1UgWa3OOo
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAeRrMTd2Pa9
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAgZMFHPCN1f
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA76g3z4ESt5
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA2js1u2m3RJ
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAYwk8X2hXbq
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA0ruIMfmNEL
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
496Please respect copyright.PENANACAHqLKC8Lw
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAjvf9ARyUON
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
496Please respect copyright.PENANANTYuj7U4kR
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAGDIzSWS58S
After all, she talks about him so happily.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAX45TbHt8Q2
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAaVg3KFFTYn
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAZjkcAtg3tV
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAahL5LQB2xw
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA6d8aNkC3JF
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAUOe2GgqP6E
Jello : "Okay!"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAUDLSv3eFmW
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
496Please respect copyright.PENANANY6TGt2waZ
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAwFKXy7Ros6

496Please respect copyright.PENANAu151c8Q3BL
Putting it that way, the words just mystified me.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAKaixG7hx6K
Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAPjpBIUvkmL
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA17zGkGRwwk
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
496Please respect copyright.PENANArkzg1F3JpH
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAyyNGTxnG3a
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAySzffuZCtM
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAkXy77oJBST
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
496Please respect copyright.PENANANPV786Q03Y
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAhmh5pptWv1
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAekJG7OFO2V
Jello : "Uhm..."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAfOgKSt97q2
Pudding has always been like that.
496Please respect copyright.PENANArORMIsuUdb
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAdFBZ5EF8aC
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
496Please respect copyright.PENANA25fJUufjRy
Jello : "Okay...?"
496Please respect copyright.PENANALdHSAO8OnD
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA3smFj834n7
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAQIcAUwIVSR
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAcAbH0LHKGm
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAXmDfkTaCgL
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
496Please respect copyright.PENANAwpz1ax4KOw
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAx4OIxf97xe
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA5dXBH08D5S
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAoPVg2KJfXr
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAAzJCCcNfob
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAyOmmjH1OLp
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
496Please respect copyright.PENANAOUEL6SYr5M
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAvfaT9m0BiM
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAQyIjFAn7wS
The stage would be all lit up next.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAkRiCJfRm1l
A shining, brilliant world that would soon belong to me.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA7DCz8JMxCO
It was a familiar routine, yet this time i felt a different kind of energy running through me.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA3zLcEgUU09
"Hello everybody~ I am your Jello! Today, Jello's soft and sweet songs will put a smile on your face!"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAp7d1qjgvSV
The audience cheered loudly, and the music started, ringing out across the expanse of the auditorium.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAaXTkQYen8H
Lacy, can you hear it?
496Please respect copyright.PENANAvYzi0c0piX
The future that Jello wants to tell you about is a place where everyone can be happy together.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAvDBZgZLYT7
So don't go to a lonely island alone.

(Jello's Song/Lyrics)
496Please respect copyright.PENANA6grrKwSUqW
(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.)
496Please respect copyright.PENANA2ufo2bZKKs
(Out of the blue, I had a recollection, a flash of a distant, long forgotten memory floating up to the surface of my mind.)
496Please respect copyright.PENANASTtlcwxOqb
(The silvery light of the full moon hanging in the night sky illuminated a silent forest.)
496Please respect copyright.PENANA4VMTprWPxc
(Two thin figures, the gentle whoosh of the wind rustling through the leaves.)
496Please respect copyright.PENANAKt9kd2MtlD
A familiar song.
496Please respect copyright.PENANADvRa2nIfY5
Eh? Was that... Jello's voice?
496Please respect copyright.PENANABRcz8PKI4D
The concert was a smash hit, just as planned.
But when all was said and done, Lacy was nowhere to be seen.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA5kjVvCknnN
But my eyes had been moistened as if sweat had entered them.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAtjSFrLqkKz
Whether bustling city or peaceful town, when night falls they all transform into a world of quiet.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAlGkDJQjq7Q
Jello was walking down the street by herself.
This was the first time she'd come here since her Master Attendant had passed.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAzyCJjXo8xd
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAyl9dNpEKCy
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4rCcefZKG
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAMQGwsoEr2P
Exploring this road, it was like she had discovered a whole new world.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAZgIvcl0J6m
Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAymUc5jUrdm
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAyS00qWf0J6
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAzkrgRNHyQJ
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAM3sZ0CqtAB
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAtqwUdy4adW
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAfIzBOVfiL3
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANARZCutHU4dC
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.

She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAnnFzawUmhI
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
496Please respect copyright.PENANA5rYI4zEUjV
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
496Please respect copyright.PENANA75Lox7cG9T
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
496Please respect copyright.PENANATOQa2LPT03
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA6Vb9E3EXh5
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
496Please respect copyright.PENANAjQSnFsj1jZ
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAUX7939wrYp
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAPEhPxzWopO
Child : "So it was you!~"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAcolDxOEP0u
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
496Please respect copyright.PENANADdUXrVlZir
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
496Please respect copyright.PENANALsXRmj2sHv
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAjebHIkGsqy
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAX6SMec8Z9i
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAAtHftnwG7C
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAvOne6rKg1E
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAbi3beqoDZB
Jello was completely taken aback.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAvgdXmwwOrK
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAQONYs9qkaI
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
496Please respect copyright.PENANApzgQCJbBq2
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAm53slS2AWM
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAUKmQXgH5Kl
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAqjAReHYFR0
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
496Please respect copyright.PENANAV7HXLJx2Pi
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAoRILPDFmJ1
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAsnxx0E0j4Y
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAx1pBdEK54r
Jello waved her hands frantically.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAOJA0BbX7Mb
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."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAWisWRl0puj
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAztuyTdQ1YV
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAkPGMxDlVxf
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAmu79bwvThV
Jello said with a smile.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAKft096eS8S
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAxFDtaI7UiZ
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
496Please respect copyright.PENANA9QI8Keaynn
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAS0x12gwt20
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAhYqcuu02EC
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAHs9k8oX1bq
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAvQCTX6ZplT
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
496Please respect copyright.PENANAl4ZiyFPRet
【Jello - END】
