【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.】
512Please respect copyright.PENANAOd8hcLMrhT
A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAzByXWzpeak
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAETp5xwQBrE
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAD2JlQ1aG5a
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAe5h63acyBx
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAU7mHNsAqnk
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
512Please respect copyright.PENANA5T6qZbAZGm
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
512Please respect copyright.PENANApMlZuAtiC0
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAQykYxQa9QC
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAifPm4vS2NZ
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANA8rbEQfk8sk
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
512Please respect copyright.PENANA31suBcCzlC
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
512Please respect copyright.PENANAY4qujQlOCm
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
512Please respect copyright.PENANA7mIPLZYTpk
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..
512Please respect copyright.PENANAyBNkDEteTU
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
512Please respect copyright.PENANA3LNIsHXtdT
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
512Please respect copyright.PENANAVZM5Pj2MNx
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAn89Z7yB2ol
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAURtxhFhp9g
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
512Please respect copyright.PENANAIa9H21327l
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...
512Please respect copyright.PENANACQWOYylR0Q
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
512Please respect copyright.PENANAWWxxdexuzE
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAbx6Gz5UyJa
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
512Please respect copyright.PENANAC6DDkWbN5M
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
512Please respect copyright.PENANAmTzp5ZIZMY
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
512Please respect copyright.PENANASaPmRT3yzQ
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAblT2IsNTH6
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
512Please respect copyright.PENANASdSUvwAIiH
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAnRIcql417L
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
512Please respect copyright.PENANA4I2cA5YIoK
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
512Please respect copyright.PENANATTXQbEqwcD
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
512Please respect copyright.PENANA5Q4WzCAds9
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
512Please respect copyright.PENANA5KL4cGlCPZ
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
512Please respect copyright.PENANAvlLYWBHaCE
I said with my face beaming.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAz80BzpE7dX
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAFoueUOmUkG
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
512Please respect copyright.PENANApl5XrG5ULl
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
512Please respect copyright.PENANAZiB2HIq0zL
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAqmHs7v5ZoR
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
512Please respect copyright.PENANA26Y4YFPKAK
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."
512Please respect copyright.PENANAv5QH8Ny1zR
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAvKKYgkRnWB
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAAaHDM4c32k
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAKTAEgiHydl
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
512Please respect copyright.PENANAc7ItLw1rK6
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAJvZp3n79Zj
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAh6H0kioD7n
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAy7sbj5E7gI
On the front of the envelope was my name.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAInrylQvato
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAdhlgRIXGbu
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAsswTAmukQu
I opened it carefully.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAGiTXqWK51W
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAgi7JhQlXGT
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
512Please respect copyright.PENANArEY52QBLYW
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
512Please respect copyright.PENANABUyJIMIy1Y
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
512Please respect copyright.PENANA9ljyEYcElI
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..
512Please respect copyright.PENANAm6n2dVdl0O
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
512Please respect copyright.PENANAaSSUr8Fnug
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAur921gCvIg
"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?"
512Please respect copyright.PENANAbDaA056BDV
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
512Please respect copyright.PENANAMRKVeJq9mZ
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
512Please respect copyright.PENANAkeg4TEQ2a1
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAO11EqXRNkS
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
512Please respect copyright.PENANAP9BOVFXvZA
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAPMelMjBwn0
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAjt1OenTQvY
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7EoI1z02D
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
512Please respect copyright.PENANA97XRbPLnK5
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
512Please respect copyright.PENANApUCbfWMGYX
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
512Please respect copyright.PENANARJdexX3p2T
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANA74rDto4bE5
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAU7A2hG8h0j
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAJP9OlR7OhD
A few days later, I received another letter.
512Please respect copyright.PENANA9UTY7qT0Y8
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANABJP64l9ZnP
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAtJSW8SDMQ3
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAPuBI34xDFZ
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
512Please respect copyright.PENANATF8wvZZYoR
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAVJAlNbD1RA
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAtD1wp28jYu
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7e8Q0MkCr
Pudding : "Any good news?"
512Please respect copyright.PENANAE1xpgXxz3L
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
512Please respect copyright.PENANAmD6La32doN
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
512Please respect copyright.PENANAoq5pM7QCfM
Pudding said calmly.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAboNbvqk1k2
Oh.
512Please respect copyright.PENANArrnkQMyofC
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAHJ9rwqCf6A
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAU6HA1iPMIO
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAht5nxh2rS9
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
512Please respect copyright.PENANARsF0HmNBEj
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAH5aD5tsE4B
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAXzCiPwlhiw
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAtMSoyVDiNb
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAs1WCneTDF8
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAygdjgu1F5o
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAiOod06kpB7
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAX9k0ZLl1ph
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAqBZYKP2d3q
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
512Please respect copyright.PENANATrO75syrE8
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAOWTGmJH3s6
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAGcTBejXMTz
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
512Please respect copyright.PENANATERm1mFwqW
After all, she talks about him so happily.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAX9kLIbis0I
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
512Please respect copyright.PENANAEpFQQ9jrOG
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
512Please respect copyright.PENANA6CuKhAYZnN
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
512Please respect copyright.PENANAdE1PLnxQdD
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAzwPCuZybLi
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
512Please respect copyright.PENANA6uZhrQ3reu
Jello : "Okay!"
512Please respect copyright.PENANAXY3tRKsWa6
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAwSb3QLhknr
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAe8Ra0qwJ4B

Putting it that way, the words just mystified me.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAX2uspOhJM0
Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
512Please respect copyright.PENANAgMYdNvBgwK
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAYdfHCa2rns
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAkcPGAvKx4S
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
512Please respect copyright.PENANAEC8eck40Nr
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
512Please respect copyright.PENANAh9awHwMEOj
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
512Please respect copyright.PENANAfuf7KOIKth
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
512Please respect copyright.PENANAB03h3RWYrG
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
512Please respect copyright.PENANACHgIffhSaU
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAJwSR7dpDxG
Jello : "Uhm..."
512Please respect copyright.PENANAA6uWUOZ0fq
Pudding has always been like that.
512Please respect copyright.PENANA9T5ubjwbzU
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAPV0ajIFT8X
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
512Please respect copyright.PENANAwZ5BlIUsgY
Jello : "Okay...?"
512Please respect copyright.PENANAWDSrDB3Kp4
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
512Please respect copyright.PENANA8KOZMAzT5Z
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
512Please respect copyright.PENANAPqPna9cCV0
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAOnfur79PJk
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAn7zcRs4hab
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
512Please respect copyright.PENANAX5ygZSZ7ni
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAkCbpNA3NCu
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAplldvgjSew
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
512Please respect copyright.PENANA3qZIRlfPv5
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAdaqNLOlaSw
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANA4l3ZB6DUjj
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
512Please respect copyright.PENANAb0lWy20aqJ
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAEZTZ33rAMY
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
512Please respect copyright.PENANABeEuzqg7fq
The stage would be all lit up next.
512Please respect copyright.PENANARM9cEribhp
A shining, brilliant world that would soon belong to me.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAmJ59McRz3M
It was a familiar routine, yet this time i felt a different kind of energy running through me.
512Please respect copyright.PENANApDR8L6Q23U
"Hello everybody~ I am your Jello! Today, Jello's soft and sweet songs will put a smile on your face!"
512Please respect copyright.PENANA2i9hQKItNK
The audience cheered loudly, and the music started, ringing out across the expanse of the auditorium.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAxtg3ok7gXV
Lacy, can you hear it?
512Please respect copyright.PENANAqw6gaMHtVW
The future that Jello wants to tell you about is a place where everyone can be happy together.
512Please respect copyright.PENANADCFmO6JiBQ
So don't go to a lonely island alone.

512Please respect copyright.PENANAVLUz8Yvi7Z
(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.)
512Please respect copyright.PENANALGWjZGSXkb
(Out of the blue, I had a recollection, a flash of a distant, long forgotten memory floating up to the surface of my mind.)
512Please respect copyright.PENANAnf4efeT9mF
(The silvery light of the full moon hanging in the night sky illuminated a silent forest.)
512Please respect copyright.PENANAhLFt7QvQAq
(Two thin figures, the gentle whoosh of the wind rustling through the leaves.)
512Please respect copyright.PENANAwLkROvDgS9
A familiar song.
512Please respect copyright.PENANASu3ooXMlHy
Eh? Was that... Jello's voice?
512Please respect copyright.PENANA3VyiPTOEpc
The concert was a smash hit, just as planned.
But when all was said and done, Lacy was nowhere to be seen.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAGoitcJA0xp
But my eyes had been moistened as if sweat had entered them.
512Please respect copyright.PENANA194H9DJHwW
Whether bustling city or peaceful town, when night falls they all transform into a world of quiet.
512Please respect copyright.PENANA9JGuHtUPfQ
Jello was walking down the street by herself.
This was the first time she'd come here since her Master Attendant had passed.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAu848M6OQ4q
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANACr2sTIxhrR
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAflzZDOklLF
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANA0v5KU6f6BR
Exploring this road, it was like she had discovered a whole new world.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAyyBIqkKbwX
Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
512Please respect copyright.PENANATB7BuFrM41
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAd3kAJN5cLt
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAMgJyOKpJkk
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAIkMhaEx2vj
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAu6oikmZ0ou
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAqujTwQZIfP
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAXtvvx29PpK
She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAMKglDmK3kI
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
512Please respect copyright.PENANAlEMcSUFhOx
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
512Please respect copyright.PENANAowaqzHUROk
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAZnWAYDiUQF
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.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAkR5qcuklqp
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
512Please respect copyright.PENANAlGqrqgk1HA
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
512Please respect copyright.PENANAflU08RIXZA
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAFSv5vIjO1W
Child : "So it was you!~"
512Please respect copyright.PENANASG7XG2vthk
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAIvRaO90uOw
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
512Please respect copyright.PENANA48AgmB7c7P
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
512Please respect copyright.PENANAKkchAxIOiU
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
512Please respect copyright.PENANArcjEH9YtfY
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
512Please respect copyright.PENANAu2nv2CRUe6
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
512Please respect copyright.PENANARdZwKUJ3RW
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
512Please respect copyright.PENANA0KPhIyXCOD
Jello was completely taken aback.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAR6cuZW3anR
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
512Please respect copyright.PENANAb9z80vcuay
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
512Please respect copyright.PENANARLZTUVGdN0
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
512Please respect copyright.PENANAvdaDTPvnLd
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
512Please respect copyright.PENANAtaPGgafrcD
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
512Please respect copyright.PENANACh5knsDZJp
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
512Please respect copyright.PENANAfq0BVRN68L
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
512Please respect copyright.PENANAPsPZAkgUbW
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
512Please respect copyright.PENANAYDwhaUnmdI
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
512Please respect copyright.PENANA5p3sU1zzOp
Jello waved her hands frantically.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAxYEd9PUMNC
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."
512Please respect copyright.PENANAM3Pu5Ji9gc
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
512Please respect copyright.PENANA0GTDvWA2a8
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAe0rayWWRQr
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
512Please respect copyright.PENANAApVA5iUpc8
Jello said with a smile.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAVxhH89SD9j
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
512Please respect copyright.PENANApD8XZSX201
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
512Please respect copyright.PENANAJpmMKgmFe7
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAk0lIE035k8
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAYWFvqVtiP8
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAHhBjWTpG8N
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAUSpYbeobKz
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
512Please respect copyright.PENANAKfqqRzxIsI
【Jello - END】
