【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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANATbFNqDQ9mr
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
366Please respect copyright.PENANALsINSTwc1U
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANA8wAISK8IJT
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAWmbPbGx4qQ
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANA5Y0Gp944AM
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAUxzJy64rCh
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
366Please respect copyright.PENANALug0VnIF4U
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAVojaYraS66
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANA3gdupBgxM5
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANADuFLtvq1uJ
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
366Please respect copyright.PENANA4UUqgjbFxF
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
366Please respect copyright.PENANAeX5ZL6R6Pr
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAV1KGcMiCow
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..
366Please respect copyright.PENANAwllTLST06R
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
366Please respect copyright.PENANAFspsgXOK5C
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
366Please respect copyright.PENANA6ge9xKQBQg
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAOxZY0dFfte
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAbOc9XVecO6
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
366Please respect copyright.PENANAnbeXAbN0Ms
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...
366Please respect copyright.PENANARo5TDjya1Y
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
366Please respect copyright.PENANA3BCwA3eAti
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAteI871KT9U
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
366Please respect copyright.PENANAavrpMZXggw
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
366Please respect copyright.PENANAiAstHR4UAX
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
366Please respect copyright.PENANA1E1ujodTXi
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
366Please respect copyright.PENANASve9QCY4hS
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAOfVeg5R2gZ
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
366Please respect copyright.PENANABrkd3bgSry
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAE94D9ykqao
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAR5nPiPppaP
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
366Please respect copyright.PENANADgCwC0lfCO
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAMAyta9fJwl
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
366Please respect copyright.PENANATmTgtfpCWd
I said with my face beaming.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAR5esytoXsr
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAcpGqqZL4EH
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
366Please respect copyright.PENANA26ZhDbDL7b
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
366Please respect copyright.PENANA7cKO1YhTne
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAed32K70Oag
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
366Please respect copyright.PENANAOFRxFMGXwV
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."
366Please respect copyright.PENANAZbOY9fUDKT
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAgorIT4QNdM
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAk65qXUGqBs
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
366Please respect copyright.PENANA8ag8XlQYG3
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
366Please respect copyright.PENANAFcHUsmFwsX
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAR2VQImF8LU
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAV8poH8H7ky
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAqGCwXSFjYN
On the front of the envelope was my name.
366Please respect copyright.PENANA2zPrd6gm0N
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAPDfiKC8mHV
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAAzR7aVv2rU
I opened it carefully.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5MGYyTxm2
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANA3CrPYyGT8Y
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAKJvv1QchCU
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAx9KFA9wfK9
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
366Please respect copyright.PENANAgXByhgSMiQ
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..
366Please respect copyright.PENANA8eOy7c97pK
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
366Please respect copyright.PENANA1SAsEY9MuP
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAZuvcP2tc95
"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?"
366Please respect copyright.PENANAAqqxarSaD6
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
366Please respect copyright.PENANAGxssuZ8OFn
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
366Please respect copyright.PENANAinf4k2wgSH
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAiFT2INraxk
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
366Please respect copyright.PENANABT6xgfGSwW
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
366Please respect copyright.PENANARs9c9UdgwD
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANARk6ltAZEc2
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
366Please respect copyright.PENANACnggr6tKGf
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
366Please respect copyright.PENANAsrCemBxdMZ
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAWopC939uEp
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAEXSmP657za
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAkjRFceEyjS
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
366Please respect copyright.PENANA2Epj97dBwL
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAq944bIuCUr
A few days later, I received another letter.
366Please respect copyright.PENANApeDlfYMHoz
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAcPnMeXMxHo
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAasRqCaI7KP
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAhwQnhR9RyQ
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
366Please respect copyright.PENANA4T7ku1SBFr
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAZFWuWG24kv
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
366Please respect copyright.PENANADl7DZaeYGI
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAXa8cRMSIJc
Pudding : "Any good news?"
366Please respect copyright.PENANAIZMEPQVF8J
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
366Please respect copyright.PENANAXSDnt3RunK
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
366Please respect copyright.PENANAdfyYRYnm5Q
Pudding said calmly.
366Please respect copyright.PENANACrk0RIThd8
Oh.
366Please respect copyright.PENANA1i1bsLK5Wm
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANA46p6SLz3md
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
366Please respect copyright.PENANARXv7xK0xuJ
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAjv4nFonrcT
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
366Please respect copyright.PENANANMYUjlBUrO
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAhoFg9rG0vN
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAYDkMoMWlLQ
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAn0YSRX44P8
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
366Please respect copyright.PENANArf8ln5LNPm
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAw38kYkShJ4
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAtTvyQ8kno1
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANATB61nV8kD6
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAAUOMb9EZWc
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAhBif46WNpG
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAzzRP6GfU3X
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAODMZDIICbD
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
366Please respect copyright.PENANA2jjQwCFYzg
After all, she talks about him so happily.
366Please respect copyright.PENANA1q7NKjHgOB
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
366Please respect copyright.PENANA2SCJoZqv0B
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
366Please respect copyright.PENANA8pbiiGZoCH
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
366Please respect copyright.PENANAzZNIeptpmn
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAehSyhuzFpb
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
366Please respect copyright.PENANAXO4QLifQCU
Jello : "Okay!"
366Please respect copyright.PENANAAIypa9A2zE
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAeXbToa8jEl
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAbeGwH50oQm

Putting it that way, the words just mystified me.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAyCsiXHH5LE
Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
366Please respect copyright.PENANA74OTQAXMrB
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAfTgyLlrT2T
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAyzGnYvCoS6
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
366Please respect copyright.PENANAVCFEGQPti8
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
366Please respect copyright.PENANAWIy48Bf5F8
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
366Please respect copyright.PENANAt3pA0wZDhX
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
366Please respect copyright.PENANARaaWqj55as
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
366Please respect copyright.PENANAthGIdLqlk4
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
366Please respect copyright.PENANANyQgh9sz9A
Jello : "Uhm..."
366Please respect copyright.PENANATwI6ujXudh
Pudding has always been like that.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAw08wA4zRjJ
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAFEvEXOAfpV
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
366Please respect copyright.PENANADuDAYaRnuO
Jello : "Okay...?"
366Please respect copyright.PENANAFuC6Q7Ml8W
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAvNDrX5QfYv
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
366Please respect copyright.PENANAQqwCddDH7y
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAmqplIk3RZr
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANANzXfFTIheD
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
366Please respect copyright.PENANADLHkxOkcyv
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAbOmoH0xt84
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAXKRUjbULVp
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAIjSU6yqIF8
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAoUVWflvySH
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAXBlNMUoyZu
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
366Please respect copyright.PENANA7OmgOnABEj
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAnBoc81cXuw
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAgGgKMAADQV
The stage would be all lit up next.
366Please respect copyright.PENANALhZ6bQxytm
A shining, brilliant world that would soon belong to me.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAPo6cmPRu8O
It was a familiar routine, yet this time i felt a different kind of energy running through me.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAqmgsdx9oL0
"Hello everybody~ I am your Jello! Today, Jello's soft and sweet songs will put a smile on your face!"
366Please respect copyright.PENANAc4UTfvuILq
The audience cheered loudly, and the music started, ringing out across the expanse of the auditorium.
366Please respect copyright.PENANA8Vy3wovI0h
Lacy, can you hear it?
366Please respect copyright.PENANAE7Gh3pAQOt
The future that Jello wants to tell you about is a place where everyone can be happy together.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAFzq16cL9n2
So don't go to a lonely island alone.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAvIOkyvqzGs

366Please respect copyright.PENANAsIk5A24S9h
(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.)
366Please respect copyright.PENANAINLayESh12
(Out of the blue, I had a recollection, a flash of a distant, long forgotten memory floating up to the surface of my mind.)
366Please respect copyright.PENANAr8p2jJXzMZ
(The silvery light of the full moon hanging in the night sky illuminated a silent forest.)
366Please respect copyright.PENANANSmjtFK1ow
(Two thin figures, the gentle whoosh of the wind rustling through the leaves.)
366Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ncggkrptn
A familiar song.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAvnQwCxpMnF
Eh? Was that... Jello's voice?
366Please respect copyright.PENANA7bAELhlRqv
The concert was a smash hit, just as planned.
But when all was said and done, Lacy was nowhere to be seen.
366Please respect copyright.PENANA5eRtdYhgdB
But my eyes had been moistened as if sweat had entered them.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAm45DnAF1Zf
Whether bustling city or peaceful town, when night falls they all transform into a world of quiet.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAXWp0BOrigg
Jello was walking down the street by herself.
This was the first time she'd come here since her Master Attendant had passed.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAxoL5w7wR4y
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAIgHNHtFznJ
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANABppljcms9D
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAcT2TfeA92v
Exploring this road, it was like she had discovered a whole new world.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAomw0S5VlbY
Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAmgFPHhcCfM
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAOlxHWsKJC6
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAVlI5xfwPas
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAi0A4PReHwe
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAYtjHcWTzpE
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
366Please respect copyright.PENANA4lW5sTw9HU
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAUHOn16EEBV
She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAVYmVP5DxY3
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
366Please respect copyright.PENANA4ggXNYoEn5
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
366Please respect copyright.PENANAWnz1dCIkRs
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAJTZ7mAgR4f
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.
366Please respect copyright.PENANA0B2P3AYorK
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
366Please respect copyright.PENANAvsgPANrxiS
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
366Please respect copyright.PENANAa2IY7SRXyO
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAtE7uSo9t5q
Child : "So it was you!~"
366Please respect copyright.PENANAEeHTjYGBR4
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAtx26oPyqjT
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
366Please respect copyright.PENANADWgUkAV2sC
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
366Please respect copyright.PENANAxNXiBTjJBT
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAeTwuhLkyQl
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
366Please respect copyright.PENANA786JsTsQu3
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAMkbp2w0xTm
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
366Please respect copyright.PENANABHRItmM0LD
Jello was completely taken aback.
366Please respect copyright.PENANALOWieWDqnx
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
366Please respect copyright.PENANAY1ofCPWfWy
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAnx23QWia7M
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
366Please respect copyright.PENANAAXn0Nr48lw
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
366Please respect copyright.PENANAwD6DxvCJrP
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
366Please respect copyright.PENANANHrlk24KFT
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
366Please respect copyright.PENANAjgMKEOtDjC
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
366Please respect copyright.PENANAx7PQoFpu5z
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
366Please respect copyright.PENANApce5DGbgxw
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
366Please respect copyright.PENANALRF9aWnlX6
Jello waved her hands frantically.
366Please respect copyright.PENANATGDB2zTzYQ
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."
366Please respect copyright.PENANAITb79cFbyU
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
366Please respect copyright.PENANAWTwFJS0iW0
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
366Please respect copyright.PENANABW54QCjqFi
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
366Please respect copyright.PENANAoXoxpWnvB7
Jello said with a smile.
366Please respect copyright.PENANALj1ndM6sYH
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
366Please respect copyright.PENANA98rq0XCjis
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
366Please respect copyright.PENANAVicpsxCrrn
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAShXfc9MEDX
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
366Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZePFVVkiW
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAte94eWPS6E
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
366Please respect copyright.PENANAFIImHdkLup
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
366Please respect copyright.PENANAbbA6t9BVfM
