If only he had known earlier that her "little brother" was actually him, how great it would have been...
He should have known sooner...
He was always running late.
But this time, he really, truly won't be late again.
He feared this life was too brief to make up for the wrongs, having let her down for too long, wishing to be with her until the end of the world.
In the next life, and the life after, in every life to come, by her side.
"This life we've promised is indeed too short, Gong Shirao, let's promise another life, I swear next time I won't mistake you again, won't hurt you again, won't leave you so scarred..."
"Let me heal your scars."
"Let me love you forever and ever."
Thinking of this, he trembled, softly kissing her eyelashes.
He kissed away her tears, wishing he could also kiss away her wounds.
"Shirao, come, climb onto my back again, I'll carry you."
