Xiaomei smiled. "You actually came! I thought I was going to have to wait a long time for you."
Not understanding, I shook my head and asked again, "Where is this place, exactly?"
She pointed at the bridge. "This might really be the netherworld."
"Right, I remember now. We're both dead," I mumbled, touching my head.
"Everyone here is going to cross the bridge to reincarnate," she explained.
"Why are you still here then? To wait for me?" I asked doubtfully.
"Why else? I want to be with you in the next life so I was planning to wait here. There have been people who crossed over by themselves because they couldn't wait any longer. Luckily, you came just after a day," she answered.
I recalled that I had jumped soon after waking up.
I turned around and observed those waiting. They were all expressionless.
I walked over to a young fellow. "How long have you been waiting, Brother?"
