"You'd probably bawl your eyes out, yelling my name and asking me not to go." Leo said in a gest but Alice's heart thumped painfully.
What... what did he say?
She looked at him shocked, her eyebrows furrowing and her expression falling.
He saw this, got a bit worried but laughed it off.
"It's just a joke, okay? So loosen up that stiff face. You know I can't die and neither can you." He said, patting her back but she dropped her head, her gaze narrowing to the floor.
"Is it funny?" Alice asked with a dark tone.
"Hm? Why are you getting serious?" He asked her, trying to place his hand on her shoulder but she slapped it off and glared at him. "Don't joke about your life. Don't joke about it. I don't..."
Alice's anger steamed up from the worry and anxiety she had in her heart. How many deaths did the girl she was in her previous life have to endure to become the hero they wanted?
To become the only one left.
How many?
