Summary:

What do you think happens after you die?

 

To those who can cross to the other side, reincarnation is what awaits. But souls tied down by ugly emotions of regret are unable to move on, becoming a corrupt version of themselves. Shredded of their humanity by the cruel passage of time, watching people come and go, in silence. Unheard.

Reo was bright, every part of him screamed to be seen, to be heard, like he was still alive and time just stopped for him. But he wasn't, the dark bruises around his neck and the grimly contorted eyes that followed him around made it, so, painfully clear.

 

He shouldn't, he knows he shouldn't, but something about Reo drews Nagi in, trapping him, dragging him down.

 

A little longer, it shouldn't hurt to be with him just a little longer.

 

“Please don't leave me.”
