Falling

Nellie had been watching her back nervously. The monsters were closing up to them at an ungodly speed.

On the other side, however, the three of them were getting closer and closer to the sea above their heads.

For the last part of their escape route, both sides were charging at each other at full speed.

Nellie saw those human-frogfish monsters pouring in from all directions as they were going to drown them.

But the next moment, she realized that she was out of the water and was looking at the sun again.

Nellie had never thought that the sun she saw every day could look so adorable.

When the sunlight fell on her skin, the warmth felt like something she never felt before.
