The Meadows and the Lake

The meadows.

Cecilia was standing there alone.

Ah. This was a dream—a long forgotten memory.

This was the time when she first entered this world after dying for the first time.

Cecilia always thought that her first life was a tragic one. She was born into an incredibly rich family that should have allowed her to get everything she wanted, but the Second World War took everything away.

A weak woman like her who couldn't survive in such a world ended up committing suicide.

And she ended up in here.

She tried to move forward, past the tall weeds and flowers. She wondered, was this heaven or hell… was this really death… or would she be reborn?

“Ah, a lost soul?”

When Cecilia turned around, she saw a wide lake, with colourful flowers surrounding it. On the edge of the lake, with her back to her, a female figure sat on her knees enjoying the view of the lake.
