In the cramped rented room.

The relentless wind and snow outside the window are playing a desperate prelude to a grand tragedy.

Nagisa's suppressed groans of pain made the atmosphere even more tense.

"Nagisa! Do it! Just a little harder!"

Sanae's voice trembled with nervousness.

She kept wiping the cold sweat from her daughter's forehead with a hot towel, but dared not let the tears fall from her eyes.

Uncle Qiusheng stood by the window with his back to everyone, smoking one cigarette after another.

His broad back, at this moment, appeared incredibly frail, as if it might be swallowed up by the wind and snow outside the window at any moment.

Okazaki Tomoya knelt by the bed, gripping Nagisa's cold hand tightly.

There's nothing he can do.

He could only repeat it over and over again.

"Nagisa, I'm here, I'm right here."

His voice was hoarse, and every word seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.

He looked at Nagisa's pained and contorted face, and at her gradually unfocused eyes.

Life force was rapidly draining from her body.

Tomoya's heart ached so much he could hardly breathe.

Time lost its meaning at this moment.

Every second felt so long.

After an unknown amount of time, just as Tomoya felt his soul was about to be crushed by this endless torment.

A loud cry.

It broke the suffocating atmosphere.

"It's born! It's born! It's a girl!"

Aunt Sanae's voice rang out as she wept with joy.

Tomoya suddenly looked up and saw the tiny life wrapped in a blanket.

His daughter.

An indescribable sense of relief instantly broke through his nerves, which had been stretched to their limit.

"That's great, Nagisa, that's great!"

He turned around excitedly, wanting to share this joy with his loved ones.

However, what he saw was Nagisa's bloodless face, yet with a relieved and happy smile.

Her gaze was no longer unfocused.

With the last ounce of strength in her body, she focused all the light into her pupils, gazing at him gently and intently.

"Tomoya."

Her voice was barely audible.

Tomoya subconsciously leaned closer and pressed his ear to her lips.

"I love you."

The three words clearly reached his ears.

next second.

Nagisa's hand, still retaining a trace of warmth, slipped limply from his palm.

Those eyes that had gazed at him so tenderly closed forever.

The world fell silent.

The joy on Tomoya's face also froze.

He stared blankly at the face that would never smile at him again, his mind a complete blank.

No.

This is not true.

He reached out, his hand trembling, wanting to touch her cheek, wanting to shake her awake.

"Nagisa, wake up! Look at our child."

"She's adorable, really."

"Wake up!"

He responded to him.

Only the baby's loud cries could be heard.

The crying, at that moment, became incredibly jarring.

It was as if they were mocking him.

Uncle Qiusheng dropped the cigarette in his hand to the ground.

He turned around abruptly and looked at his daughter, who was lying motionless on the bed.

This man, who had been strong his whole life, suddenly collapsed, letting out a painful cry.

Aunt Sanae could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face as she held the baby in her arms.

Pengye simply knelt there, motionless.

His eyes were glazed over.

His soul was taken away the moment Nagisa's hand slipped from his palm.

.....

At the same time.

China, and indeed the whole world.

All screens watching the Clannad anime livestream.

A strange blank space appeared in the comments section.

The comments section disappeared.

At this moment.

Hundreds of millions of viewers across the internet have had their souls ripped out, turning them into mindless, typing-incapable zombies.

Ten seconds later.

The most complete collapse of the entire online world.

[It's fake! This must be fake! You old scoundrel Su, tell me this is fake!]

[I can't accept this! I can't accept this!!!]

【Give me back Nagisa! Give me back my Nagisa! You're not even human!】

Why? Why are you doing this to me? I just wanted to see a happy story!

Countless viewers wept uncontrollably in front of their screens.

They felt as if a piece of their heart had been ripped out, the hollow and intense pain making it impossible for them to breathe.

#GiveMeBackNagisa#

#You heartless old scoundrel Su#

#Clannad is the most depressing anime ever#

These topics dominated all social media charts.

The official website of Healing Animation Company was completely paralyzed after being flooded with angry comments from viewers.

......

Tencent Animation Headquarters.

Wang Hao was enjoying the flattery from his subordinates.

"President Wang is brilliant! That Su Bai has really run out of tricks, resorting to such a clichéd plot as childbirth to create tension."

"That's right, in a moment it'll definitely be a happy ending with mother and daughter safe and sound. The audience is already tired of this kind of plot. What we really want is our CEO Wang's sword-wielding romance, sweet from beginning to end—that's the real deal!"

Upon hearing these words, Wang Hao wore a victor's smile.

He was preparing to deliver a concluding speech.

Just then, his assistant scrambled in, his face pale, his phone nearly falling to the ground from the violent shaking.

"Mr. Wang."

Wang Hao frowned and reprimanded him unhappily.

"What's the panic! Is the sky falling down?"

The assistant, trembling, handed him the phone screen, his voice trembling with tears.

"Mr. Wang, it's really collapsed."

"In Su Bai's animation, the female lead really dies."

The smile on Wang Hao's face froze instantly.

He looked down and saw on the screen a still frame of Nagisa with her eyes closed and her hand hanging limply at her sides.

That face, tinged with a hint of happiness, was reflected in his pupils.

A deep-seated fear welled up within him.

Wang Hao stared intently at the screen, muttering to himself in a daze.

"How dare he?"
