“It may be my last moments, so I really have to let you know.”
She said to the boy with a gentle voice.
But the boy couldn’t say anything in response to this voice…
He didn’t want to hear it.
He would be scared if he did.
He could only weep silently…
Just tremble silently…
She continued,
“I’m, very happy. Because of you…my life…became meaningful…”
That was a lie.
She couldn’t possibly gain happiness.
Being forcefully separated from her beloved person, snatched away and dumped away randomly…
A dog that was humiliated as a vile lowlife.
Enduring the hatred that was harbored for a long time by everyone.
But even when she had to live a life where she had to protect a boy even if it meant reducing her own lifespan…
She definitely smiled…
She was ever so gentle in front of the boy, always smiling.
It’s like there wasn’t any sadness before, as she was always smiling.
Now, she, who had lived until her last moments… The boy’s teary and blurry eyes watched his sick mother lying on the bed.
She smiled back at him…
That made him very unhappy.
He was unhappy that he couldn’t become her pillar of support, that he could only let himself get protected by her weakly…
But she, even though she was so weak, hugged him gently.
“You don’t have to be scared about anything, Sion. You’ve been groomed into a kind child, and that’s really amazing. No matter how others slander you, those words don’t matter. There will definitely be a lot of people who will love you…so even if I’m not around…you won’t be alone, no matter how much you fear the death right in front of you…”
She continued to say such words.
She continued to repeat those words until the end.
No matter how much her body was in pain, no matter how terrified she was about being so close to death that was right in front of her…
She finally…
On the day his mother died.
A luxuriously-decorated box was sent over to the boy’s house.
The boy opened the box, and inside it was dog’s carcass that was stained in mud and a letter that was written with deliberately large font.
The woman must have felt lonely over having to go to that world alone, So we’ll send something to accompany her.
Little one.
She was already despised by others.
Always being hated over and over again without interruption...
But at this point, he didn’t have any feelings already.
The body emotionlessly held the letter in his hand.
He calmly cleaned the room, prepared the meal and arranged for the funeral…
He sat beside his mother again.
Watching that smiling face that wouldn’t move…
“Mother said that I was kind…but, what kindness…mother, what is the kindness…you wished for.”
The boy muttered to himself.
His tears had already dried.
Through the golden eyes that were giving off a strong will, he leapt past the bed and looked outside the window…
“I might not be able to do what you expect of me, mother. I don’t think I’m kind at all…
However…
I want to change this country. If possible, I want to change this crazy world…
I don’t know how many people I can save…
But I want to work hard.
To make this place…
Become a world that’s like your resting place, mother…”
He stood up, turned the lights off and walked out…
“You’ve had it hard, mother. Please take…a good rest.”
He closed the door.
He would never turn back.
“It may be my last moments, so I really have to let you know.”
She said to the boy with a gentle voice.
