6. Chapter 6 (1/1)

csilla: somehow, despite being extremely exhausted from work, i found the inspiration and motivation to finish chapter 8 so as a reward, i will be posting two chapters! i debated on whether this should be posted with five or with seven~

purgatory can be anything, but interesting. it was an endless space with no sense of time. a person ages if they refuse to collect their assigned number of souls, i definitely did not want to remain in my twelve-year-old body. no, i wanted something i could control. i wanted to age – it wasn't something krul or any other reaper could understand.

krul.

thinking back, i wish i had noticed when she called me to ask me why i was so adamant about finishing this job, especially when i never cared and often sought out ways to dump it onto someone else.

why wasn't i listening to that phone call?

why hadn't i noticed that a lot of her lately questions revolved around yuu?

why was i so stupid?

then maybe i could have better prepared for the hell that

oke loose that day. one thing after another.

ferid, i would definitely get him back. even if they tossed me in hell, i will kill him and pull him down with me.

i'm sorry, yuu… i wish i could have protected you better, but instead i've left you defenseless with a target. you're going to get killed and it's all my fault. you could have lived a full life, found someone, and made a family. you could have had what neither of us had while growing up: love between a parent and their child. and now, i've ruined that. krul won't allow you to live any longer and i don't think i'll be able to protect you. i'm sorry…
