After Cora was discharged, she invited me to shop for baby items. Her face was full of joy as a new mom, filled with hope for the future.
Listening to her unconsciously chatter about her and Jasper, my envy almost overflowed. This happiness and sweetness were once my
dreams.
I came from another world and never felt a sense of belonging here. But in the world I traveled from after death, my previous self had long perished.
I have no origin, only a place to seek refuge.
I once truly saw Declan as my destination, if I hadn’t seen that diary. Knowing the plot, I always reminded myself to be kind and not hurt
anyone.
I purely believed that love is a two–way street. If I’m good to others, they’ll feel it, and I’ll get their response.
I felt friendship in my interactions with Cora; familial love through my family’s affection; and accepted love through Declan’s persistence.
But now, my partner has shattered all the beauty with brutality, pulling me back to reality in an instant.
Sometimes, I can’t help but self–reflect: maybe I really am an annoying bad woman. But I clearly saw trust and warmth in Cora’s eyes.
We carried large bags out of the mall. I teased her about buying too much. She said she couldn’t help it; a mom just wants to give her baby all the good things.
We waited for a car by the roadside when suddenly a car came speeding towards us. Instinctively, I wanted to shield Cora, and she reached out
to push me away-
Accepting love amidst Declan’s persistence…
But now, the person beside me has shattered all the beauty, pulling me back to reality in an instant. Sometimes I can’t help but self–reflect: maybe I really am a detestable woman.
Yet, in Cora’s eyes, I clearly saw trust and gentleness.
We walked out of the mall carrying numerous shopping bags. I teased her about buying so much. She said she couldn’t help it; as a mother, she just wants to give her baby all the best things.
We were waiting for a car by the roadside when suddenly a car sped towards us. Instinctively, I wanted to shield Cora, and she reached out to push me away too-
In that split second, a figure suddenly rushed out, pushing me away forcefully and holding Cora in their arms.

In that split second, a figure suddenly rushed out, pushing me away forcefully and holding Cora in their arms.
The violent impact scattered my senses. Before losing consciousness, I could only hear Cora’s heart–wrenching scream.
“Phoebe!!!”
