How long have I been here?
In this forest-like place with strangers... How long have I been here?
At first, it was only me and that strange person there who has been staring at shiny things.
Then one came after another.
I looked up.
The sky is still bright...
Just like the first time I came here...
I mean, literally the same all day and night. Is there even a night here when it's always been bright?
I just knew I've been here for days as I counted minutes... Well, not really, I just knew.
"Sigh..."
If only I could see her one last time... That would be enough...
I wasn't planning on dying just like that, I guess it was my time.
Oh, I wish Loli would be happy even if I'm gone.
Yes, I've been dead for like how many days now, probably weeks. After my death, I found a light next to my body and followed it.
Then, I was brought to this forest-like place. I don't know what's going on but more ghosts are coming in.
Just like now, another ghost came in...
A short hair with fierce ambiance...!
Is that... Loli?!
I was stunned and didn't know what to do! Why is she here! She's not supposed to be dead!
As I panicked, I hid and blended in with other ghosts. She didn't seem to notice me as she wasn't looking at me.
For days of staying here, it's the first time I don't feel at peace! What should I do? I don't think I can face her!
I kept hiding from her with all I could and a week past, I didn't even count how more ghosts came, the voice suddenly appeared from nowhere.
I don't understand what she's been talking about nor care, however, out of blue, there was a big tree that emerged in the middle.
And I saw Loli went in... So of course, I went there too!
"Welcome to the Enchantrix Race!" Said the other voice.
This place is strange! We looked ugly and strange! Where is she?
"If you want a wish, then win this race!"
What? Wish? What do I do with it? Argh! Where is Loli?! I was sure she came here...
And this place, for all race they could think, why sperm race! That's disgusting!
The game started and everything moved. So us, millions of sperm, moved too!
It's funny when I tried to look for her... She's one in a million... Literally.
We started in an acidic place, fortunately, I wasn't affected... But I'm worried she would! I don't know what to do nor find here in this crazy sperm race.
Nevertheless, I can't just give up! Since I'm already here, I guess I'll take that wish! And give it to Loli! I wish for her happiness, I'm tired of giving her misery.
The second race was a little hard, there is mucus trapping each of us! Fortunately, there was this player number information, hence, I'm not worried that Loli might get trap.
So I did my best to finish the round. I evade every mucus around and swim in the middle afraid I would get trap.
However, there was a time limit and a player reached the egg! Our time was decreased! There were tons of sperms moving faster and I let myself be swayed!
And it worked! I finished the second round with few more minutes left! I was delighted that I dance for a few seconds by waving my big head.
Until I felt heartache. Somewhere in my head! It hurt so badly that I felt like someone is squishing my head inside! It hurts so badly that not only it was squished, something scratching the inside of me!
So hurt that it was trying to make me go back!
"Dice..."
My eyes widened as I heard it... It was the voice of Loli!
I turned around and without thinking I went back to the second round! I swim faster without caring about the time limit. There was a minute left and I was in a hurry... To look for something... More like someone...
Then, not far from me, there was one who was struggling from three mucus that was trapping a sperm. I went there and tried to pull her up regardless of the pain I felt but it was three versus two, what could we do?
"BEEP! ROUND OVER! THE PLACE IS CLOSED! EVAPORATION, STARTS!"
Out of nowhere, a system's warning came.
I guess this is it... Game over...
Still, I didn't stop. I went near her and instead of trying to pull her up, I caressed her big head using my head. And... she calmed down...
"Loli..."
I know it's you... My heart said so...

~CAN DICE when she was still alive~
"Yawn,"
The sunlight greeted me with a warm feeling, I sit upon my bed and stretched myself. I grab the bell beside my bed and ring it.
My butler came, "Good morning Miss, how was your sleep last night?"
I smiled sweetly, "Great! Please prepare the bath, thank you."
"Yes Miss," The butler ordered a maid to prepare it more maid came in to help me get up.
Just before the butler left, I notified him, "Call Loli, I want her to bathe me."
"Yes, Miss," The butler left.
My maids took off my clothes and help me to go inside the bathtub.
I've been sick for how many years I could remember, the reason why I was weak to the point I can't hold a spoon for a longer time.
Unlike the bell earlier, it wasn't heavy and I could shake it for once or two, they'll hear it as they've been there around me and waiting for me.
There is no cure to my disease as I inherit this disease from my maternal grandma.
Yes, this is what I inherit...
This isn't a lie...
And I'll keep it that way!
Unfortunately, I'm the only daughter of this wealthy family. Hence, my father was busy trying to make my mother pregnant again with whatever the technology nowadays could do.
It's my fault for having a body like this but they never blame me.
But it's fine because I don't feel alone. There was someone who stayed with me till now.
"Please, leave," I told my maids after they put me in the bathtub.
There, one came in... Loli... "Geez, you have a lot of maids yet you only called me! Tell me, you're making me suffer, don't you?"
Ahh, her voice is as lovely as ever. She said that but I knew she's just shy. "Yes, I want you to suffer with me. Now, come, take me a bath."
"Hmph," she rolled her eyes then came to me.
She's like that but I can see her puffy cheeks red. How cute~
Loli is the butler's daughter, we've been together for like, ever since. We played a lot, especially before I learned I was sick.
We are like twins that could never be apart. Especially when we were kids, she always sleeps beside me.
However, we grew up and a lot of changes happening... She started to not honest with her feelings when we learned I was sick.
Nevertheless, I knew her from top to bottom, even if she says no, her actions say yes. Even she says she's suffering, she stays with me all the time.
At night, I could feel her warmth, she thought I was sleeping but I was just waiting for her to sleep with me. Before I wake up, she's already gone.
But that's fine because I know tonight, she'll be back beside me again and gave me her warmth.
"Dice, I've been bullying you for like a long time, why are you still making me stay?" Loli asked out of nowhere while she scrubs softly my back.
"Because you are my friend. My friend that whatever happens would never abandon me would never hurt me, would never hate me." I replied.
She scoffed, "Huh! I didn't abandon you because I wanted to play pranks on you! You might be thinking I didn't hurt you but every day I made you suffer! And..."
"Hmm-mmm," As I thought, she can't hate me. "If suffering together with you, I don't mind. And your pranks? I love them."
She frowned, "You should hate me..."
I raised my brow, "Why should I? I can't hate you, nor can you."
She lifted her chin, "You should be!" She started to play with my back and tickle it as she washed it with soap, "You were poison because of me..." I could hear her voice breaking as she mumbled...
I rolled my eyes and didn't bother with the last sentence she said, I ignored it then I sneered, "If it's you I don't mind,"
She was astounded, she knew I ignored what she said and I was talking about how she tickles me, since I don't want to talk about the truth, she played along with me. "Hmph! Gross! It just a prank but you're thinking like that!"
"Pft," I chuckled. See? No matter what she says, she can't hate me. Unlike those 'friends' I had before who betrayed me just because I can't give them what they want.
Loli might not be honest but she's caring and I know she loves me so much. And no matter what happens, I would never hate her.
And that also hurt me because I know, I have no time left... It hurts to see her hurt... That is why, as much as I could, I want to stay with her day and night...
No matter what... Until the end...
