#Chapter24
Kirito heard footsteps and opened his eyes. Everything was dark and he saw a small snowflake fall down slowly. He brought his hand forward and held the snowflake.
As soon as he touched it, he felt a soothing calmness. He didn't want to let go. Jericho stood behind him /"In death,/" Kirito suddenly turned back and looked at him /"There is peace. It takes effort to live./"
Kirito stared at him /"What? Scared of temptation?/" Jericho smirked.
/"What temptation?/"
/"That maybe you like death more than life./"
Kirito didn't say anything. Jericho walked to him /"You know what's scary? You believe what you see and not what you feel./"
/"What are you saying?/" Kirito asked.
/"I just wanted to,/" He heard Vivian's voice /"Drink down the scars in your past, reflected in the depths of your tired eyes./"
He heard her but he couldn't see her.
