Chapter 3: My Long Life (Second Half)

Before I knew it, I was standing in a two-toned world. The horizon split the setting into dark green and sky blue. A meadow, brimming with a feeling of freedom, spread out beneath the sky.

What is this place?

I was supposed to be fighting. I was supposed to be fighting Kanami in a place it was much harder to breathe in, not here. So why was I here?

Why am I here?

I looked around, trying to remember the reason, and saw a single child sitting in the meadow. The child was laughing. The sight interrupted all of my thoughts. All thoughts of battle or anything else flew from my head as I was drawn in by that child’s expression.

The child was a girl, thin, with bright-green hair and a pair of small wings sprouting from her back. I felt like I’d seen her somewhere before, but I couldn’t remember her name, even though I tried.

As I was observing her, I noticed that she had found something interesting and had started to laugh. Her hands were clasped, and she was peering into the middle of them. She held a little pebble in her hands. Its edges were rounded, and it was a semi-transparent green color. It wasn’t as transparent as a gemstone, but it had a special sparkle to it when the light from the sun hit it. To an adult, it would just be a normal pebble, but it had an interesting shape that would please small children. It seemed like the girl considered it her treasure. She looked happier than an adult who’d found a gem, and I was enchanted by her expression.

“Hey, kid. Can you show me what you’ve got?” My words came of their own accord, spurred on by some strange impulse. But my voice startled the child and she trembled and stood up. She looked toward me and continued to tremble, a fearful expression on her face.

That made sense. A stranger had just called out to her and asked to see her treasure, after all. It was no surprise she was frightened.

“Oh, no, I’m sorry. I’m not gonna steal it or anything. I just want to see it...”

I tried to explain, but the girl didn’t listen and instead ran off. She started sprinting at full speed across the wide, wide meadow.

“Hey! You’ll fall over running that fast!”

As predicted, the child seemed to trip on nothing and fell over. She dropped the pebble she’d been holding. Her precious, precious treasure tumbled across the ground. Her mouth popped open, and she raced to chase after it. She chased it and chased it and chased it, but for some reason, no matter how much time passed, she couldn’t catch it.

Watching from a distance I realized what the problem was. This endless meadow sloped just a little bit. The pebble painted an unnatural trajectory as it continued to roll into the distance. I was assailed by the feeling of my blood beginning to boil as I watched.
