Chapter 10

I once believed Seraphina loved me, but it seems she doesn't either.

I've wandered aimlessly through life.

The only thing I could hold onto.

It seems to be just chess.

Seraphina called out my name.

"Melody. Melody."

I woke up in a daze.

Seraphina tried to put the necklace in her hand around my neck.

But my body had no strength.

I couldn't even sit up. Seraphina finally started to panic.

Her voice carried a hint of desperation.

She could only curl up against my shoulder and whisper painfully.

"Melody, Melody. Can you sit up a little? Can I put this necklace on you?"

But I was so tired, I could only hear Seraphina crying out beside me.

I struggled to open my eyes.

Seraphina seemed to see salvation.

"Melody, it's okay. You'll live to be a hundred, and we'll always be together."

I'm exhausted.

Seraphina, I don't want to live to a hundred with you.

If I lived another lifetime, I wouldn't want to see you again.
