He was going to take this chance to tell everyone that he was going to focus on his family and that he might no longer have the chance to join such gatherings anymore. He immediately took his phone out to text Josephine, but he did not tell her the real reason. [Josie, something came up at work. I'll be back soon.] … Xander and Josie arrived at the club. "You're finally here! You two are the last ones! Let the games begin!" After spinning the bottle a few rounds, it landed in front of Xander. "I choose Truth." One of their friends swapped gazes with Josie before asking, "Xander, you used to be pretty chill in life. Later, you worked like crazy and made it big. It's gotta be for someone. Tell

The temperature dropped drastically, the wind that blew felt colder, piercing the skin's surface. The trees swaying in the wind dance a dance of death that is both beautiful and magical, their dance accompanied by the sound of dry leaves, and the leaves singing as the wind blows them. The hoarse singing was muffled, their singing was like a muffled screams. It was like someone who wanted to scream with his neck choking hard, someone who was in a transitional period between life and death. They sang and danced as if it was the end of the world. The last day that humanity can taste before everything is destroyed with nothing left

"P-P-Perhaps he was a repairman from elsewhere—" I let out a scoff, interjecting, "That's not all. Mr. Rowland is a lefty. He always uses his left hand whenever he smokes or holds onto his walkie-talkie. "However, the person in the photo is making a peace sign with his right hand. On top of that, Mr. Rowland has a dark burn scar on his wrist, whereas there's nothing on the hand of the person in the photograph." Peter turned to look at me. His eyes were filled with shock. He had finally realized that I was fully sane and lucid.

I clapped my hands at Ayame, Tempest and Auntie Lia, gesturing for them to finish up too, rolling my eyes when they clicked in like they had long since forgotten why I even looked like this in the first place. I walked to my window, pushing the curtain back a little to take a peek at the starry sky. It was a breathtaking view, one that held my attention for many years. No matter how I was feeling, this view always managed to wash away my worries and replace them with warmth. Something I'd always wanted to do was paint this view. But I never got around to it. Maybe I will soon. Maybe.

He never married. Jake, on the other hand, went to the opposite extreme. He indulged in debauchery, drowning himself in alcohol, parties, and countless lovers. He squandered without restraint, his name constantly appearing in the entertainment sections of newspapers. He tried to fill the void in his heart with every extreme pleasure, seeking escape in drunken stupor. However, no matter how many people surrounded him or how intoxicated he became, his eyes remained empty and devoid of true joy.

In the corner of the picture, I recognized the hand wearing a familiar wedding ring. Taylor opened the door and saw me still waiting in the living room with a cake I had made on the table. He walked over with a smile and hugged my waist. "What's the occasion? Why did you make a cake?" Then, he smeared some cream on my face. "It tastes better than it looks." In the past, if he had forgotten our anniversary and then dismissed my efforts like this, I would have felt hurt and argued with him. However, I didn't feel like wasting my breath this time around.

“I couldn’t care less what happens to the Lumb family anymore. As for you, Wendy? You made your bed. Now lie in it.” I walked around her and headed straight for the subway station. Behind me came Wendy’s wailing and the pointing and whispering of passersby. I heard later that Ruth ultimately did not make it. She breathed her last on her hospital bed. Wendy fled overnight with her child due to being involved in fraud and owing a large amount of loan shark debt. No one knew where she went. As for Miles, during a mudslide rescue operation in a remote mountain area, he was hit by a rolling boulder while trying to save a child. His leg was crushed.

She got a pen and paper from the waiter and continued writing. Jason tightened his grip before smiling bitterly. "My wife." Perhaps the woman in front of him looked too much like Ivy; Jason had his guard down. For the first time in a year, he poured out the pain he had kept buried deep inside. "I loved my wife very much. But because of some malicious rumors, I made the wrong judgment. In the end, she died in a fire. "Ever since then, I’ve had the same dream every night. In it, I always manage to grab her hand amid the flames. But just as we’re about to escape, she always pulls away and walks back into the fire.

Next thing I know I’m back on the street. Only it’s not Chinatown, maybe not even New York. The wedge of twilight sky I can see from the narrow alley isn’t cut by telephone wires but strings of ragged prayer flags. They flutter in the wind with a sound like pigeon wings. As I pass under them, the windows of the surrounding buildings pulse with the light of candles and I smell the iron tang of blood.

I had believed that love could grow with time, and I had believed that sincerity could move mountains; that enough devotion could melt even the coldest heart.
