บท 249: Torrents

Selma Payne's POV:

She hugged my arm and left, but I knew she was still behind me.

"I'm scared." I sobbed, not wanting to let my tears fall.

"I don't know why I have to go through all this. I don't know where to go."

She accepted my complaints and gently suggested, "It doesn't matter. Life is like a long road. Every step is a fork in the road, and every fork leads to an unknown future. All the travelers who walk on it are lost, but fate will always give us the reward we deserve."

"Is this reward good or bad?"

"There's no good or bad. Fate will not spend any effort on the rewards it gives."

"Why?"

"Because it doesn't care."

The moths gradually drifted away and finally disappeared into the vast sky.

"Where did they go?"

"To heaven."

"What's in the sky?"

"There's nothing."

"Since there's nothing, why should we go?"
