~ Chapter Six ~

The endlessly wide starry sky wrapped around this world equally.

Were her friends and parents – people she could no longer see – staring up at the same moon? While thinking that, Yuna looked up at the night sky, alone. She liked the unique smell of night. The slight moisture that was mixed in with the air made her recall a sense of nostalgia for some reason. It wasn’t a bad thing. Rather, feeling comfortable, Yuna closed her eyes softly. There must be flowing water nearby because the gentle sound of water running passed through her ears faintly and she concentrated on it. –Even though the afternoon was just as quiet, when it became night it was like the world changed and she noticed various things that she hadn’t noticed under the sun.

(How long can I remain here like this?)

Leaning against the balcony, Yuna did nothing but continue to look at the scenery. When she thought about how this scenery would be something she wouldn’t be able to look at soon, it became all the more harder for her to avert her eyes. By nature, she had a personality where it wasn’t a pain to stand still in once place for a long time. And this night too, she looked up at the stars and moon for a long time.

(–I want to meet them, my mom and dad.)

She understood it intellectually; her former self was already dead. All she did was inflict a large injury in her parents’ hearts. Even if she intruded on them, she could easily imagine her parents’ reactions to seeing an unacquainted girl. Just about everything of her appearance was different from the one her parents gave her. Her hair, her eyes, and even her hands and feet. If she called out “mom” in a voice they haven’t heard, she is sure that she would frighten her kind mother. If she appealed to them saying that “I’m your daughter” then she could see her father, as good humored as he was, falling into a rage and telling her not to joke around.

(But even so, I want to see them. Before I die again.)

It was a completely selfish wish. But, most of all, it was an innocent selfish wish.

And it was a selfish wish that would absolutely never be granted, Yuna pursed her lips tightly.

(–I can’t blame myself for thinking it though, huh. I should sleep soon. Before I catch a cold.)

The night wind was slightly cool to her skin. Although it was pleasant, it still wasn’t good to expose her body to it like this for a long period of time. Running away from her thoughts with painful reluctance, Yuna quietly pulled her body away from the balcony. Suddenly, when she returned her gaze to her room, its tasteless atmosphere induced an inevitable sense of loneliness.

Breathing out a single breath, Yuna sank into bed.

(Like I thought, I’m not cut out for living like a noble.)

Smiling wryly at how the core of her heart still had the nature of a commoner, Yuna closed her eyes.
