【Jello is a young girl with a lot of heart and vitality.】

【Her sweet and beautiful singing voice can lift the spirits of even the saddest souls, and she's also quite popular amongst everyone.】
470Please respect copyright.PENANA6QoN8NR0N7
A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAvVWFlzLekb
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAaU2Zsplkpd
I always feel so much better when i look out at a vista such as this.
It's as if I could walk out my door and see him.
470Please respect copyright.PENANA2mTrXSM0hw
It's a rare day off for me.
Ever since I became an idol, I haven't had even a moment of peace and quiet in what seems like forever.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAcwWTwej4XW
Walking along the edge of the waves, my feet are occasionally soaked by the waves as i take one step after another into what is like an expanse that just keeps on extending forward.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAebPQpH49yZ
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAxjNKf32Clp
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
470Please respect copyright.PENANABarofqKrRn
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAnmmgHCWyzO
A slightly yellowed paper on which a hand-scrawled messaged is obscured by the golden sunlight peeking through the transparent bottle, but there is nothing else inside.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAlIv57vqZeZ
I don't know whose wishes were sent adrift across the sea to some far-off place. I only wish that it could float to the place where whoever sent it on its journey had wanted it to go.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAEMO4bfKxsj
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAV1kuIYPimR
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
470Please respect copyright.PENANAIeB3nIheyd
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAmdWR0cvdj8
In my heart of hearts, I wanted so much to see him for real but didn't know if I would, but the moment I turned around to see him I just smiled and said..
470Please respect copyright.PENANA90pCrLBg1e
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
470Please respect copyright.PENANA9W3HdASvLk
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
470Please respect copyright.PENANAUmR8OE5vmB
Pudding pushed his sunglasses up and earnestly went about the business of foraging through the contents of the small notebook that had been lying in the inner pocket of his shirt.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAMabQglJk1H
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAGKaYJKW0aV
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
470Please respect copyright.PENANAnW9hoIJAo5
As an idol, my activities hold a lot of weight.But listen, there's thing that's kept me from resting easy at night, and that is...
470Please respect copyright.PENANAT3Djb9hQC6
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
470Please respect copyright.PENANAcSZSSZiteR
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAedzilsLdWN
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
470Please respect copyright.PENANAM6ifz8Riqy
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
470Please respect copyright.PENANAKYbsysVtVr
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAAfqATOJ95o
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
470Please respect copyright.PENANA8PW7ncTS4F
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAzAUEV5FabI
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAgaxMflMWFK
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAGhTpZ9IQHE
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAi0mUSoME0J
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
470Please respect copyright.PENANAOyFLZwF7Dy
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAmYDS2zxoRe
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
470Please respect copyright.PENANAICTLXfWjAe
I said with my face beaming.
470Please respect copyright.PENANA2gITOYe42I
When i said this, Pudding's usual deadpan expression turned to a frown, which is the one emotion i could ever read from looking at his face hidden behind dark sunglasses.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAVIlzWuvWS0
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
470Please respect copyright.PENANABpvvW66OiZ
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
470Please respect copyright.PENANANctX4Q74r1
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
470Please respect copyright.PENANApTBYaL9K6p
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
470Please respect copyright.PENANABlA3kmZ4MU
Jello :
"That's fine, just donate them to the orphanage like you always do, and i'll keep those amazing songs coming for my fans."
470Please respect copyright.PENANA7QebtRRE2s
When i was an up-and-coming singer, i often went to an orphanage in an old street with Pudding, where i would sing songs for the children.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAoRfzgRce4B
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAF3bvL4TRfa
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
470Please respect copyright.PENANA9SbbMp6Ceb
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
470Please respect copyright.PENANAPyRIDa0ztJ
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
470Please respect copyright.PENANA5NmYdrEJPa
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAbd14Vldlxb
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAc7wwzP5kGO
On the front of the envelope was my name.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAGcXJcNyNXt
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAKviHyrxi1L
I would like to know what the humans thought of my existence. That's the reason why i was so curious about the contents of the letter.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAwN9RPOF5Fb
I opened it carefully.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAoxdkp6KlAL
There were two papers inside.
One was an ordinary yellow-green paper with nothing written on it, and the other paper was torn with only an unknown address scrawled onto it.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAH5DBh4VCbe
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAJrf9qyeSba
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAkEcRQxTjxg
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
470Please respect copyright.PENANAvRgCdWEpy9
Pudding came sneaking up behind me and i started to panic.
Maybe i was too into what i was doing to pay attention to anything else..
470Please respect copyright.PENANAFNlnSdTj3d
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
470Please respect copyright.PENANARpOcMhoEim
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
470Please respect copyright.PENANATvVH6aY29k
"But they didn't say anything about it at all. Jello can't understand what the humans are thinking about, so what should i write to them?"
470Please respect copyright.PENANAamoMMslWUZ
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
470Please respect copyright.PENANAc89N5UlHDo
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
470Please respect copyright.PENANAz6Gy9qGhsS
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAXVVKQPIeue
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
470Please respect copyright.PENANAZPQpaV2nwT
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAfKC3u32vyi
Though i tried to think up of lots of captivating things that an idol should talk about with their fans, i couldn't make up my mind on what i should write.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAHlER9TsNwK
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
470Please respect copyright.PENANA5FcTYffKDi
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
470Please respect copyright.PENANAGhsCF3cU7N
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
470Please respect copyright.PENANA27U4Mcfkug
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAJaUtTknMrF
I didn't even know what kind of expression would cross their face as they read my letter.
As an idol on the stage, i always see people smiling at me.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAkui4k6UggO
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAPBZP0zaCkv
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAR1sshy52NV
A few days later, I received another letter.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAH6AO08dHBy
They say their name is Lacy.
She has been in love with my music since the first time she heard it.
She says my songs bring her hope and inspiration because she feels the happiness in my music.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAdS5T1uKZPS
The letter was only a few lines long, but it made me so happy i could jump for joy.
The letter wasn't formatted and remained unsigned.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAd0nO9vnjLM
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAyJJJGPJMZQ
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAWZLqQRUXqA
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAFXlwhyYSdT
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAsFGVvJ5TZn
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAQMCJS7uFdL
Pudding : "Any good news?"
470Please respect copyright.PENANA7ntzZFE6J2
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
470Please respect copyright.PENANAumnAIZai30
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
470Please respect copyright.PENANAGpqImVJUXt
Pudding said calmly.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAJdqxpOVMmu
Oh.
470Please respect copyright.PENANANqKUDIpuWp
I felt my cheeks flush at the words.
I realized that feeling of joy overflowing from the bottom of my heart was about, and because, of the person standing right in front of me.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAuPPKjoWzL4
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAAKL7DJg1EM
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
470Please respect copyright.PENANATszqXdMFzM
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
470Please respect copyright.PENANA691qvGkBa6
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
470Please respect copyright.PENANApBpKvwzZMB
I often complained to Lacey about the way that Pudding keeps blathering on about my schedule and reputation, but then he wouldn't allow me to see the children at the orphanage, or let me go back onstage when the audience yells 'Encore!' like I used to.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAMnbsFuzo7f
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
470Please respect copyright.PENANALOoSwuPCgs
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAuiF2G0Qio8
From the time i first met him to the time he became my manager, there was nothing he couldn't do.
He's so well organized.
470Please respect copyright.PENANA92n2Wso9TC
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAqyvMIoZeWz
I've never seen Lacy.
But when i do, i would tell this intimate stranger so many things about my life that i normally couldn't tell anyone else.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAzjCM0uH0XL
I guess Lacy thinks the same way, because she's told me so many things about herself, she told me what happened when she met her friend Joel for the first time, and how he disappeared so suddenly, only to meet up again a few years later.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAvQ9hfIIEHL
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
470Please respect copyright.PENANADw3Cyjo9PL
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
470Please respect copyright.PENANA4qMY8bkNXb
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
470Please respect copyright.PENANA1VVA4ZRWsC
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
470Please respect copyright.PENANABrzrAKoANm
After all, she talks about him so happily.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAOj9XiWMGvx
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
470Please respect copyright.PENANAuDsRdCvtNq
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAw59dTBr2rx
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
470Please respect copyright.PENANA46JS2PAaKv
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAPmBug55Vy9
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
470Please respect copyright.PENANAOoqjkhWrac
Jello : "Okay!"
470Please respect copyright.PENANAcFl46wrDvU
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAADu7CnVtWj
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAUYDnbqHyJ1

470Please respect copyright.PENANAeaCCBn0yNV
Putting it that way, the words just mystified me.
470Please respect copyright.PENANADauVVIYG92
Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
470Please respect copyright.PENANA4izIilRFI6
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAb9DtMPVQ8n
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAb3VVe2cBKW
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
470Please respect copyright.PENANAMOsOXaUJvR
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
470Please respect copyright.PENANAePsfT8pjqw
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
470Please respect copyright.PENANA6fAij4Clmm
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
470Please respect copyright.PENANA8apzZlzxMH
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
470Please respect copyright.PENANA8c1aabSScX
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAP9nKreZiTd
Jello : "Uhm..."
470Please respect copyright.PENANADTzTjjU4gD
Pudding has always been like that.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAoUVsPtkSv3
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
470Please respect copyright.PENANASMYeva6ubG
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
470Please respect copyright.PENANAOSTkAzcMsD
Jello : "Okay...?"
470Please respect copyright.PENANAH3B0aqRobe
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAZDJ9w2MlkX
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
470Please respect copyright.PENANA2rRXPdL3Na
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAOpC7E7zCOJ
I took out the yellow-green stationery that i buried deep inside the drawer. I don't know if it's because of the passage of time, but i noticed the paper already beginning to yellow in some places.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAdyE9KoyGGQ
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
470Please respect copyright.PENANAxb1z9J3pxb
Maybe it's because I'm a Food Soul that time really doesn't mean much to me.

470Please respect copyright.PENANARsV1iyEDzU
I put the letter and a ticket for a concert that would be held in three days into the envelope, and then gave it to Pudding.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAXOWMi6gPSG
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAeTGP0TB20t
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
470Please respect copyright.PENANA6IZyBL7aAD
Voices chanted as people swarmed underneath the elevated stage. I secretly peeked from behind the curtains, but then i realized i didn't know what Lacy looked like.
470Please respect copyright.PENANA90uhdXn3qs
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
470Please respect copyright.PENANAafKB4ERjZs
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
470Please respect copyright.PENANArJ8GrhyNoi
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAvHIHxC7jcH
The stage would be all lit up next.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAeZXs02UCdp
A shining, brilliant world that would soon belong to me.
470Please respect copyright.PENANA6yZyaEn9JJ
It was a familiar routine, yet this time i felt a different kind of energy running through me.
470Please respect copyright.PENANALlq2CvnONs
"Hello everybody~ I am your Jello! Today, Jello's soft and sweet songs will put a smile on your face!"
470Please respect copyright.PENANAPyiDBhLds6
The audience cheered loudly, and the music started, ringing out across the expanse of the auditorium.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAEGauuwz9TW
Lacy, can you hear it?
470Please respect copyright.PENANAahEG7k3jA0
The future that Jello wants to tell you about is a place where everyone can be happy together.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAknjgUKFb6f
So don't go to a lonely island alone.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAuDZDXljk5t
Let's all live happily in this world!

(Jello's Song/Lyrics)
470Please respect copyright.PENANAQxCzXAvD1W
(In the darkness surrounding the stage, waves of yellow and green lightsticks pulsated to the rhythm of the words and the music, twinkling like a sea of stars.)
470Please respect copyright.PENANAUKoO1hBUbd
(Out of the blue, I had a recollection, a flash of a distant, long forgotten memory floating up to the surface of my mind.)
470Please respect copyright.PENANAgLa9SFOIbN
(The silvery light of the full moon hanging in the night sky illuminated a silent forest.)
470Please respect copyright.PENANA9wwFKOTSdP
(Two thin figures, the gentle whoosh of the wind rustling through the leaves.)
470Please respect copyright.PENANAtA2ZNmUEf3
A familiar song.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAfuwTFccz0x
Eh? Was that... Jello's voice?
470Please respect copyright.PENANAc115Xufgim
The concert was a smash hit, just as planned.
But when all was said and done, Lacy was nowhere to be seen.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAaJvXs2v9bB
But my eyes had been moistened as if sweat had entered them.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAtiMAGK8iq7
Whether bustling city or peaceful town, when night falls they all transform into a world of quiet.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAu09HGF0yDp
Jello was walking down the street by herself.
This was the first time she'd come here since her Master Attendant had passed.
470Please respect copyright.PENANASfTpyhaZjb
As a Food Soul, she couldn't stay too long in the same place; with so much more life time than human beings, she had made the choice to constantly change her living environment.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAZrLGPr72f9
She just likes people and wanted to keep living among them, the way she had in the beginning when her Master Attendant was still alive.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAjzPe4NjXiZ
The weathered buildings looked like they had already been abandoned, so it was surprising that there was still a road through the lush forest
In a way, it was like the trees were covering the road.
As she thought this, suddenly she let out a gleeful laugh.
470Please respect copyright.PENANA5xJIz8wsTt
Exploring this road, it was like she had discovered a whole new world.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAJi4E0KvavP
Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAsYahLdLDys
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAAQ9viNiqwF
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAdM6PWgPHeq
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAXK9bx0p6S4
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAy3IirMGyVD
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAcOTa35IgA2
On this night as well, Jello came here to sing the same as usual.
The only thing different was that there were two children sitting in her normally deserted meadow.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAVSLHeAepo8
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.

She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAHtbxK9dbkX
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
470Please respect copyright.PENANAn3aCsOoVTw
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
470Please respect copyright.PENANASQ7ZmpctGx
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
470Please respect copyright.PENANA7U2hNezVwA
The way the girl spoke was a little awkward, but Jello still understood what she was saying.
On the other hand, the little blonde boy with blue eyes just sat there staring at her without saying a word.
470Please respect copyright.PENANA9kG7RfU0jz
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
470Please respect copyright.PENANA9pyYrcc5sq
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
470Please respect copyright.PENANAf4irA8rTyr
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAiiML9y6qs9
Child : "So it was you!~"
470Please respect copyright.PENANA9oOWCJzxOi
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAGnykQ29HxW
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
470Please respect copyright.PENANAWI4Fm5IOUh
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
470Please respect copyright.PENANAzjxHo3XO3r
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAu7FviSq9KI
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
470Please respect copyright.PENANAbET6b3C0ge
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAWxb9JPN490
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
470Please respect copyright.PENANAaovSpo5GKo
Jello was completely taken aback.
470Please respect copyright.PENANASGknYNfrbO
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
470Please respect copyright.PENANAU28Z0mty3C
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAyrt88o9OeA
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
470Please respect copyright.PENANAmytVMjcNjL
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
470Please respect copyright.PENANAXs5M12CZer
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
470Please respect copyright.PENANA4RlBRqCCpP
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
470Please respect copyright.PENANA5bKrlP2YT8
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
470Please respect copyright.PENANAiDZSplu033
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
470Please respect copyright.PENANAH6bBRlAeXj
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
470Please respect copyright.PENANA97lo2Dm5W8
Jello waved her hands frantically.
470Please respect copyright.PENANA8kLNqNOtBC
Jello :
"I don't know what you mean by [redeem], but all I can do is sing.
However, everything will be gone tomorrow,
tears, sorrows, whatever, all those things will be transformed into the night's stars."
470Please respect copyright.PENANA9YUZvUJu52
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
470Please respect copyright.PENANALwI0LjPHqj
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAxjaensPKww
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
470Please respect copyright.PENANAT4PwJ9WiMX
Jello said with a smile.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAJALiyvS8Fr
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
470Please respect copyright.PENANADLeF43wjGz
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
470Please respect copyright.PENANAiv4so2RBAl
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAJcRYErVfjR
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAf3lFww2Gj6
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAzFdFwYKW7J
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
470Please respect copyright.PENANAZWIeHvMwOS
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
470Please respect copyright.PENANAMhXLvBF4Ow
