【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.】
497Please respect copyright.PENANAAUQrDGrBlP
A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAOODfOEDiyz
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAQu4Dglvkjy
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAojtdVzOrYX
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAdSJ8sfinme
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAnqwxsGzsC7
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAb1eS3yHgAi
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAAJOPbbUygl
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAwgxB414fo9
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANADoGovbjNT0
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAAhlUjOenlX
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
497Please respect copyright.PENANALzL2DZ6qv2
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAinWr0lWDZa
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA7K4EITxIUr
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..
497Please respect copyright.PENANAsiyUiNMt2T
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAqaTbCcwTnr
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAUYYA5a61fX
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAeqDdXYheMP
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAXXVluXJE8C
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAZrfPurivcF
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...
497Please respect copyright.PENANAUIMiI7HcyE
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
497Please respect copyright.PENANA0LdFLH2gdy
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAGaMdSNxcV2
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAdttwlbXYdq
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAsuqYGedc3m
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAKdMRdlZQD8
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAjKGqE48z5Y
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAch3cV2tHEa
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA98sWNS8Tl1
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAYS9qfK7YKM
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAdZD8Eb6e3z
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAfmdLxhFbYw
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAhUmB456Mdo
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAwVgeZO9Qg7
I said with my face beaming.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAE5TXzXN1r8
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAlFwLMDgP1O
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAYQRiYP0QAw
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAoc8LOv46VV
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAveiKaZ39dB
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAqoHm1Q13nX
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."
497Please respect copyright.PENANA5J2deyJGQn
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA7LV9vWo37v
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAppOri8G363
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAxoLVEwPLwU
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAJR7fQdykus
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAIyJKTvZKXJ
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAAKgPEPmg7T
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAq7cKPJwdao
On the front of the envelope was my name.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAhPq1a1tqzQ
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAw04HhFmRND
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAG7VxwjySMb
I opened it carefully.
497Please respect copyright.PENANApkjRXiQVGh
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAHtnYTJpgfV
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAEUGkIpVJSd
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
497Please respect copyright.PENANArXlCYcGV3O
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAcvCNd2eZAr
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..
497Please respect copyright.PENANAZlIp2jfa2C
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAaYeS531G3O
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAJREDptjJpa
"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?"
497Please respect copyright.PENANA8v9H1QkuHU
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAgrhF7UL05C
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
497Please respect copyright.PENANA8uSRoi8Wyl
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAzDtb7NbBKC
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAgVXToE4wKM
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAQe45HLl9tm
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA4dn0yezJdG
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAgwUSe3WPCY
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
497Please respect copyright.PENANAk6SWvTL6nu
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAj2cPLCuwrr
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAIyJupC5yEN
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAgf3UMpyKGz
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA8gGiqjLLgC
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAfhWHdzs0S9
A few days later, I received another letter.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAU6hX9z2BUs
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAFvG5wn5iLP
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA8NSbahe28L
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0TEYKsoex
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAulxWGm4UbE
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA64AD6eWMD1
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAqNK70V3kIv
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAOXvlEm3rC2
Pudding : "Any good news?"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAbOh8h0XSWt
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
497Please respect copyright.PENANA8nddEgoC1l
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
497Please respect copyright.PENANA7kr7gYOC0S
Pudding said calmly.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAndVbiC7cal
Oh.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAUSrNop1f5p
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAO01RHmYO7s
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA6qtbDnVtOS
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAe8HahDdCsY
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAuW1XjhiLBK
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAa31PuTOWdN
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA0HAxCgKK5v
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA1ezanj097X
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAZUPAqhBx2b
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAZp3iv1miqP
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAtCgKWDHlga
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAe2SRAF0iNU
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAcNd9CvR3Uk
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
497Please respect copyright.PENANATbMh6BlZuM
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5UE2EKop9
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAtA0Wj80VrU
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAxpLPh3BgVr
After all, she talks about him so happily.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAVYpQ8hJnAe
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAALEeuz67zL
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
497Please respect copyright.PENANATKS9CmLI3S
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAUNJhZt1cpW
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAQwh74slQwn
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAEUFde37EAo
Jello : "Okay!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANADacxQz7eTT
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
497Please respect copyright.PENANARfRQUOL2m0
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.

Putting it that way, the words just mystified me.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAll0sXZFvpj
Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAOIsc1raS7U
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAUOx2hE6rZ4
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAxACfazvqH1
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
497Please respect copyright.PENANARUaUDDf6Ec
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAtkBWCqg76m
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAE41rCqANAD
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAsjVQ2GnxK4
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAgTdFqW450f
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA0Hq1AHyr75
Jello : "Uhm..."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAr5G1ACrDw7
Pudding has always been like that.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAZYrozYMmTz
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
497Please respect copyright.PENANARO1VAm2Qqj
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
497Please respect copyright.PENANA8cENcoi3CY
Jello : "Okay...?"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAeHssbG5zFG
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAZV7wgK28h3
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAvivynDLPUF
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAPQRLxPF4oz
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAhhr88Y5S9m
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
497Please respect copyright.PENANA6WBtUpIkbE
Maybe it's because I'm a Food Soul that time really doesn't mean much to me.

497Please respect copyright.PENANAPYjkQH6PC2
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAMeSw992U9d
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAuj0FkGkRVi
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAu4yF1aCCwl
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAKP8nDEPodo
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
497Please respect copyright.PENANA2HQTIbOLg8
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAgrvX4cbI41
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAH6p54hbHya
The stage would be all lit up next.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAqdBkhDh0i0
A shining, brilliant world that would soon belong to me.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA4h2floZzaj
It was a familiar routine, yet this time i felt a different kind of energy running through me.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAJXSjoMGHLj
"Hello everybody~ I am your Jello! Today, Jello's soft and sweet songs will put a smile on your face!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANARh7elusG9Z
The audience cheered loudly, and the music started, ringing out across the expanse of the auditorium.
497Please respect copyright.PENANANrrtjYH4sV
Lacy, can you hear it?
497Please respect copyright.PENANATzmwJ2JZ3F
The future that Jello wants to tell you about is a place where everyone can be happy together.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAhKVo6NX03J
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.)
497Please respect copyright.PENANAPfkunY5Bkp
(Out of the blue, I had a recollection, a flash of a distant, long forgotten memory floating up to the surface of my mind.)
497Please respect copyright.PENANAKjrw2ELrIB
(The silvery light of the full moon hanging in the night sky illuminated a silent forest.)
497Please respect copyright.PENANAQhmthvC20j
(Two thin figures, the gentle whoosh of the wind rustling through the leaves.)
497Please respect copyright.PENANASZpe25Ark4
A familiar song.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAc0iQMgm97T
Eh? Was that... Jello's voice?
497Please respect copyright.PENANAzzLg6etWsT
The concert was a smash hit, just as planned.
But when all was said and done, Lacy was nowhere to be seen.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAG9CHRedQz5
But my eyes had been moistened as if sweat had entered them.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAa5MT3WpuwG
Whether bustling city or peaceful town, when night falls they all transform into a world of quiet.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA0N4qcnUovV
Jello was walking down the street by herself.
This was the first time she'd come here since her Master Attendant had passed.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAXGhzEK5BtR
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAtngXMyE6AN
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAttae5LP11B
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAYnLyt9nwr4
Exploring this road, it was like she had discovered a whole new world.
497Please respect copyright.PENANASiQZqIzTHU
Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAfFzYVO5734
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAFd7hF2zyQx
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAzIG9k88QmM
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAtZftjm8NwM
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA5J0vuuH8By
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAoAPxyoduQc
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA6OrCZTw7ou
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.

She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAw4G9qeJa2j
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAEP8isrLwLc
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAhqytMirzXc
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAJcseIKqrrA
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANApRoKrWwr0r
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
497Please respect copyright.PENANA6NSVgo1B3p
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAAndrJrCxhP
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAAu0mS0aMOl
Child : "So it was you!~"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAMX6ZuTnxAC
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA7KN3fZ1GoF
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
497Please respect copyright.PENANAgqTzf8D7KM
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
497Please respect copyright.PENANA5WTyxKVilg
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
497Please respect copyright.PENANABFRJFMHU99
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAU4YPZsAWgt
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA8l47FAAL5f
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAwDNvuXUMLc
Jello was completely taken aback.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAWEUmJyiEb4
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
497Please respect copyright.PENANA3GvyVH9gKc
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA0RtgSfJI4y
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAhm9GPSlMuH
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
497Please respect copyright.PENANArMKdctXZJz
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
497Please respect copyright.PENANACGNddD30sP
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
497Please respect copyright.PENANA1Mq2Av68OB
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
497Please respect copyright.PENANANRBnnMW30H
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAnOmyzYjxDI
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAtVtm0bgkwz
Jello waved her hands frantically.
497Please respect copyright.PENANACR50TfkdQy
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."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAluTlpxej4H
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAB1LAoEn3Ye
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAzaY5fzXcYI
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANABzyTZPZhwV
Jello said with a smile.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAitp4oXKQgq
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAuQtaMmw5oH
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAweGvdiR4uY
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAIhNFGGMrlc
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAjxsExCmtAP
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAl3Pt2iqyYs
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAn0bxbnM3QZ
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
497Please respect copyright.PENANAa2O8yKRf2t
【Jello - END】
