Until The Sun Burns Out
[Book III of EdensVerse]

She kept talking.
"Wait, you are aware it's November again, right?"
"Until now, I still question why you lived through that."
"Well, at least your sister isn't that helpless anymore, yeah?"
Maybe I was tired. Maybe I was grumpy because I hadn't drunk all of my coffee. But I decided, recklessly, to answer her.
Now that I look back on it, I think I got those 3 years of somewhat peace because I never had contact with her for that long.
I shouldn't have spoken to her.
But...
"Shut up, Dea."
