I've already said this isn't a life simulator!

I did nothing wrong... yet I have to suffer such harm, and the person who did such a terrible thing doesn't even get punished. It's really... unfair.

Those people are so hypocritical and disgusting. It would be so much better if they all died... They act so well in front of others, but as soon as they turn their backs, they show a completely different side of themselves... They're all lying to others. It's disgusting.

Humans... are disgusting...

In the dim light, amidst the tears, Xi Wang's pupils... quietly underwent a slight change; the star-like gold expanded slightly, but quickly stopped.

"Um...no...no, I can't think like that."

Xi Wang shook her head, putting her messy thoughts to the back of her mind. She regulated her breathing, which had become somewhat disordered due to sobbing, and moved her arm to wipe away her tears.

"Hush...huh..."

Xi Wang still remembers Father Enrique's instructions and blessings: to witness the love and goodness of the world, to accept the goodness and love of the world, and then... to keep them in her heart.

Therefore, we should focus our attention on the wonderful things around us.

Although suffering and happiness often go hand in hand, joy and sorrow are intertwined, and pain and pleasure always accompany each other... it is precisely because of this that we should focus our attention on the beautiful things.

Just like the night sky, when the bright moon is still shining, people's eyes are always focused on the moon that shines; when the moon is obscured, people's eyes are drawn to the twinkling stars.

Compared to that, the dim night... seemed less important.

"Hmph~????~"

Xi Wang slowly and softly hummed her own song, using it to distract herself, to soothe her restless heart, and to... reminisce about the beautiful past.

Thinking about it carefully, he was always lucky, always "loved".

When he first started at the church, he had children to keep him company, Father Henry who took care of him and showed him concern, and the community also looked after him.

Later, she had a music teacher who protected her, teachers who cared about her, and Mother Teresa.

The same is true now. The teachers take good care of me, and there's also Brother Li who's willing to quit smoking for me and everyone else... Ah, although Brother Li is probably doing this for Yin, but... it wouldn't be a problem to add a little bit of my own contribution to it, right?

Xi Wang smiled slightly, amused by her own somewhat naive thoughts.

Moreover, he now has a companion, a being who resembles him—Eden.

She is so dazzling and enviable that she doesn't even evoke feelings of jealousy... That's why Xi Wang likes her and feels close to her.

Because she is exactly the kind of person Xi Wang envisions, someone who is liked by everyone and whose kindness is reciprocated.

And throughout everything, there is one thing that has remained constant—music.

Yes, that's it... Whether it's joy or sorrow, anxiety or peace, gentleness or fierceness, complaint or comfort... everything in the past has its own song, its own music.

Music... Only my own music, only my own songs, will always accompany me.

So... sing when you're happy, sing when you're sad, whatever your mood, express it with songs and music, just like... when you're with Eden.

Music brings joy, music can soothe people's hearts... Haven't I already done that? Back when I was still in the community, wasn't it me who used my singing to help everyone?

Music... has power, haven't I known that all along?

Then... why restrict yourself like this afterward? If you just express yourself well, pour your emotions and thoughts into your singing, and express everything through your singing, you will surely gain the recognition of others and help others, right?

Just like Eden, just like it was back then.

If I can't do it, then I haven't done enough. If I could be "like Eden," then... I would definitely be able to do it, right?

After all, music has power.

Xi Wang smiled and softly sang her own song.

Remember this! Remember this! Keep your gaze fixed on beauty and love!

Remember this! Remember this! Keep your gaze on the twinkling stars!

What if the darkness of night obscures our vision?

What if the accumulated dark clouds block out the light?

Then let's give it a try—let's try to illuminate everything around us!

Like stars in the universe~?

It shines its own light in the darkness.

May it bring light and warmth, beauty and love to everything around it.

Remember this! Remember to keep your gaze fixed on beauty and love!

Remember this! Remember this! Keep your gaze on the twinkling stars!

????~

The humming gradually became lighter and gentler, filled with joy, anticipation, and... blessings for oneself.

You have already come to your senses, and you have already decided on your future path.

????~

A lighthearted song echoed softly, and a gentle breeze squeezed in through the gaps, caressing Xi Wang's face, wiping away the few remaining tear stains, and then quietly carrying away the sadness in his heart, quietly taking his song, along with the joy and happiness he expressed, and drifting away into the distance.

Even if the song is faint, even if no one is listening, the breeze will carry it to where it is meant to go.

Gradually, Xi Wang's voice grew weaker and weaker... He was getting tired. The damp and cold environment, the pain in his body, and the somewhat stuffy room were all putting pressure on his mind and consciousness.

But... he was smiling, leaning gently against the corner, humming a cheerful song until he fell asleep.

In the dim light, no one noticed that his body temperature was dropping lower and lower, while the temperature on his forehead was rising higher and higher, and his face was getting redder and redder... but his breathing was getting weaker and weaker.

But... there's no need to be nervous.

[Entry: ■■■ (purple), already in effect]

【■■■：Young people, don't worry, I'm here to heal your wounds】

【■■■：Young ones, do not worry, I am by your side, judging your sins】

Gradually, the damp and cold environment around him seemed to have no effect on him anymore. His breathing gradually became steady, although it was still weak, but it did not get worse. Even his gradually decreasing body temperature began to rise slowly and returned to a more suitable level.

At the same time, a gentle breeze... quietly slipped in through the gaps and surrounded him.

In the hazy light, I could feel that even the wind had been tinged with color... it was cyan, very strange, very beautiful, with a slightly translucent quality.

In a daze, it seemed as if a green figure came to my side with the gentle breeze, looking at me with tender care and joy and pity in its eyes.

She seemed to be smiling, a gentle and loving smile. Then, she reached out her hands and embraced him, while the three pairs of wings behind her gently folded up, serving as a blanket to cover him.

【■■■……】

She seemed to be speaking, her fingertips gently brushing his face, offering him some comfort.

Suddenly, he realized that everything that had just happened was just an illusion, with only a slight breeze squeezing in through the gaps and gently brushing against his body.

As the rainy night passed and the morning light shone on the earth, the employees, who had already been scheduled for shifts, arrived early at the [Xidakeluo] store.

Although he didn't know what the student had done to offend Miss Elga, nor did he understand why Miss Elga had specifically asked him to bring the clothes over and why she wanted to teach the student a lesson, none of that mattered anymore. All he knew was that Miss Elga disliked the student and that she wanted to cause trouble for him.

Furthermore, he discovered that other students were also targeting that student, so... sure enough, that student was a "bad kid," right? So... it's only right that I should give that student a sufficiently profound "lesson," right?

So he trampled on his hands with his feet, so he didn't give him his clothes, so he didn't release him, but instead kept him locked up alone until morning.

I heard that the student, like Miss Elgar, studied music... In that case, these "lessons" must be profound enough, right?

He smiled, seemingly satisfied with his own ideas.

After all... this was permitted by Miss Elgar!

After all... that's what everyone does!

As for whether any accidents might happen... Haha, don't joke around. Life isn't that fragile, especially for a student in the prime of their youth.

He smiled, opened the locker room door, and saw Xi Wang, pale-faced and huddled in a corner.

"Hey kid, get up, it's time for school, haha..."

"........."

"Stop pretending to be dead! Get up!"

Not getting a response, he became a little anxious and subconsciously became afraid, even his tone unconsciously carrying a hint of scolding and threat.

"........."

However, there has still been no response.

"Are you faking it?!"

He subconsciously kicked Xi Wang lightly, his words filled with panic and fear, to the point that he had to use some insulting words to cover up his panicked state of mind.

"........."

But... there was still no response.

"No...it can't be right?"

Only now did he seem to realize what he had done. The pride he had felt for his guesses and the pleasure he had felt for venting his emotions all vanished, leaving only deep panic and fear.

His body trembled as he cautiously reached out to check Xi Wang's breath... but when he touched that burning face and felt that extremely weak breath, his consciousness and thoughts were completely overwhelmed by fear.

He could only frantically dial the hospital's number and pray that Xiwang wouldn't stop breathing there or suffer from some incurable illness.

Only now, when a life he had harmed was on the verge of death before his eyes, did he clearly realize what he had done before.

Fear overwhelmed him, and in his dazed state, he could still feel the crisp cracking of bones coming from his feet... as if reminding him of his earlier actions... which might have destroyed a student's hands.

He could only repent, apologize incessantly, and try his best to shirk his responsibility in an attempt to alleviate his guilt.

But... the pain will be remembered, the scars will remain, just like the blood of sin, once stained... it can never be washed away.

Even worse... it could lead to a corresponding "trial".
