Honkai Impact 3rd, a simulator of lifelong regret!

The facts were right in front of her.

She truly caused Jiangcheng to be disturbed by others because of her selfishness and folly, allowing those people to take advantage of her.

That person now.

—We've already discovered everything.

don't want……

No.

don't want!!!!

The girl stood up and ran towards the door without hesitation, striding forward with unprecedented speed, not caring whether her untrained body could handle it.

—She's going to run away.

She wanted to escape her birthday party.

To evade the mistakes one has made unintentionally in an even more foolish way.

Just like that foolish fairy lady from before.

There was a clear opportunity to rewrite it, a chance to make things less awkward, but instead, the worst possible way was chosen, leading to the most decisive end.

But before those slender fingertips touched the doorknob, a pair of larger, warmer hands enveloped the girl's trembling hands.

"I didn't mean to blame you; it was just a trivial matter."

—That's the voice of Jiangcheng.

The sound is clear.

The tone was calm.

There was no hint of complaint in his voice; in fact, it carried a touch of birthday wishes.

This only made the girl want to escape and get away even more.

The mistake was directly pointed out, and the scenario that had been imagined countless times in my mind finally came true. The fear of losing the boy overwhelmed all other emotions.

Because of his own actions, he has to lose his youth.

I don't want to accept it.

I dare not accept it.

Even more unacceptable.

She was so weak and pathetic, just like Alicia, who only knew how to escape and stay away when faced with problems.

Her mind was in complete disarray the moment the truth was revealed, and as a peerless genius, she immediately cut off her ability to think.

Forbid thinking, refuse to think, absolutely do not think about this matter, absolutely not.

Thinking about it would definitely cause a breakdown.

—Vilvie couldn't face all of this.

Ever since she was rescued at her birthday party that day, the girl has been unable to accept or face the fact that the boy has left her life.

but……

What right do they have to say anything?

—They deserved it.

It's your own fault.

Why did it turn out this way?

Why did the relationship between an ordinary loser and his only partner turn out like this?

They had already defeated Alicia.

Wilvi gripped the doorknob tightly, the cream on her lips still slightly sweet, but the glistening liquid had already soaked the wooden floor beneath her feet.

"Ugh……"

A sigh.

Is Jiang Cheng about to leave me?

Has Jiang Cheng finally made up his mind?

My thoughts, which I could hardly contain, began to imagine the most fitting outcome for this situation.

It undoubtedly ended tragically for him.

I don't want to face it.

I dare not face it.

I can't face it.

Because of my own incompetence, because of my own ridiculousness, because of that person who is called a genius, who is actually utterly stupid.

My thinking began to waver.

The body is bound, unable to escape, unable to leave.

But the spirit seemed to transcend the physical barrier, desperately trying to escape, running away, and carelessly casting everything aside.

Even if one's mind is twisted and one's soul is already screaming in agony as if it is about to be torn apart, it doesn't matter.

So what if your body feels an instinctive fear?

As long as I don't have to face the teenager, it's fine.

As long as I don't see that disappointed face, that's fine.

As long as I don't hear those words about abandoning myself, that's fine.

Extreme self-loathing forced the girl, who was already far from that tragic and hopeless ending, to the brink of hitting rock bottom.

—On the verge of collapse.

The charlatans who will exist in later generations are those who disguise themselves because of their own self-loathing.

Before she truly climbs out of the abyss, before she is rescued by a warm ship as a stranded person adrift at sea and thoroughly dried off from all the water and cold, any slight stimulation could cause the self-conscious girl to continue falling, falling faster and deeper than before.

If this despair and fear persists any longer, if this state continues for even a second longer, a con artist will descend upon this world.

however……

Jiang Cheng simply lowered his head calmly and took a plate of cake from a table in the distance. It was not particularly exquisite, but it was a cake he had made himself with heartfelt care.

A small, rough cake was presented to the girl.

The dim candlelight illuminated those dazed, silvery eyes, and tears streamed down her beautiful face.

Even the wind seemed to stand still at that moment.

Do not allow this flame to be shaken in any way.

"Vilvi..."

"Happy birthday to you."

"I'm sorry, this cake may not look that good or taste that good, because I really don't have much talent. I've done my best."

……

Her tear-filled pupils trembled.

The twisting fall suddenly stopped.

The chill of sinking into the deep sea and the pervasive, terrifying pressure suddenly vanished.

Beneath the deep sea, where even sound should be unable to travel, one cannot see even a fraction of the ocean, where the heavy, oppressive seawater fills the throat, enters every orifice, and engulfs the entire body in a despairing abyss.

Yet a ray of light pierced through the boundless, deep ocean, illuminating the dark world.

"I won't blame you for this. The reason I chose your birthday is because I felt it was more appropriate to say this on your birthday."

"Our first meeting, that dreamy uphill stretch of road, was on the way to the birthday party, wasn't it?"

The sound pierced my ears forcefully.

at the same time……

A face was forcibly crammed into those misty eyes, with black, tousled hair and a ray of light in the pupils that seemed to shimmer like countless bright stars...

—It's Jiangcheng.

The boy smiled as always, but a rare look of distress appeared on his face.

"Unfortunately... I was going to keep you in suspense."

"Last time on my birthday, you gave me an invitation, helped me escape a meaningless life, gave me happiness, and taught me what it feels like to be cared for. Of course, I will repay this kindness tenfold."

"So this time, after careful consideration, my birthday present for you is..."

"--promise."

The boy's lips returned to their smooth shape.

His expression was more serious than ever before.

"I promise you, with all that I have, I make the most sincere vow to you."

"I will spend the rest of my life with you, and we will never be apart. No matter what happens or what we encounter, I will be by your side."

"You don't need to worry anymore. This relationship is not some bubble under the sun, but an eternally shining star in the night sky."
