271. Forthcoming X

Slowly, everything in Newt's eyes was becoming blue as his eye lids gradually fall down to close his tired vision. Mellowing rhythm of the birds singing inside his head put his mind at such ease.

"To think that this is how my life would end, pathetic..."

In his mind, Newt began singing along with the cheerful birds flying around his mind. His mind had generated a peaceful scenario with him regressing back to his childhood days playing with kids he has no idea who they were.

The Hero did not bother asking who these kids were in his mind nor why were they playing with him. All he had was happiness, fulfillment, to be able to play with other kids and share a laugh together was one thing his heart longs.

This simple happiness he has was enough for him to make him stay and never exchange it for anything. The contentment in his heart had been overfilled, no worldly things could amount to the joy he was feeling.
