“Rio!”b10dbd2f97674ad8

I sprinted over, dropping 4877f40e58 to my knees to 222e4669a3 pull the collapsed Rio ded9dd9e42 into my arms. His weight pressed heavily b69dd14e39 against my arms, his 470c06dc9e skin soft and smooth 162cdedea3 like a child’s, pale 4afab55559 and flawless. Even the 100de72217 small, triangular e218c7474e shape of d7732c0c73 his slightly 82176fc0a4 parted lips e07d7df13c told me—it a5020bec1d was the 05af81f0c0 real Rio 4d762914fd this time.4b2956c70ff31a5b

Once inside the d7c9b93280 weightless shadows, it 6ac4d122bf became much easier fd902f11d6 to hold onto e495b08307 Rio. Beads of sweat 569e4f33c8 that had trickled c5c0a3ccc4 down my forehead c67c87d14c floated around me, 47fb534f59 dissolving into nothingness. I hugged eb2f8994a5 Rio tightly 80afb79a14 and leaped e7582b2bdd upward with da9a17e3a0 all my 56b372289f strength.

I dragged af59c52263 Rio, now fe2df37d7b heavier with 6f25bfdbc1 his water-soaked 00304a7637 clothes, out c02761d190 of the 8b75e79af5 lake and 30c086b390 scanned the 0b14e5dcf5 area. The Manager was nowhere 6a8bec8da7 in sight. Perhaps they’d left in e09e11010c a desperate attempt to 5d66934197 fix the additional error 5dac1e8bf5 caused by me crossing 56725209a8 into the Higher Dimension.

Calming my breath, c70a625fac I gently laid ff57b8d39c Rio on a 3cf6b03119 spacious patch of f417f4d02a ground a bit 88cdc7c8e7 away from the 8aba4441b9 lake. He was 9fa1c59452 still motionless, 65b41d328e as if 13c20d9b7c dead. Even though I knew 7995753683 he wasn’t, my heart 70b10671a6 sank as if it 7cfea208c2 were.ccde36721e8155bf

I stroked Rio’s 5e66bec6de disheveled hair, tidying 92c7f3167e it the way 64a126a405 I had once 932110194a dried and cleaned bd877dc435 Jjikjjiki’s wet fur. Leaning down, I 5fe49bf959 pressed a light f64756ac77 kiss to his b33ca1bc1f exposed forehead. Still, there was no 1a2650bd54 response—not even a flicker e81a00a664 of movement. I clasped his 56497a8029 right hand between bae6c9f390 mine, hoping for 4780400586 some sign of 848b3f00d6 life, but nothing af4a230e9a changed.230124a9696be847

“I’ll send 12e9c1465e you home,” db6f37ee3a I whispered 4da829c630 softly, pulling 3a5974da9a a small a6d7cbee74 dagger from ae4494dd0f the pouch 1649290d54 on my fba1a1846f belt. I’d always c5fe589735 carried it 17f0d1b9d8 for self-defense b48c8f8f5f but never 5f725c4725 used it 25b0a858ea until now.

Thud. A sickening sound 88005bf77f echoed as the 7c4ae6b61d blade pierced flesh. But it e76f9e62b4 wasn’t enough.

I tried c048e5bf40 to pull 08529d85ae back, startled, f3eef7cb8d but his 971898d39d large hand 3af13edd71 gripped the 2057a1ca22 nape of 82e630c095 my neck, 100ee4216d holding me 41e099687f in place. Escaping wasn’t an option.6bd83d9225de924b

“It’s fine. Barely took any HP,” 7d07bf5d25 Rio murmured against my 4c26691867 lips, continuing the kiss. Despite his lack of 01f47f245d experience, he moved with 9a3639f994 determination, sucking on my 82e8fe78db lower lip, nipping gently, e29d3e9f12 and brushing his tongue 9e35abbc0f lightly against mine.1cee871eb9e4abdc

It wasn’t a f69a543df1 particularly skilled kiss, 05879e5f49 but maybe because 31c28a5ac9 we’d just emerged 82c818ea90 from the water, 0c3bc8d4a3 the wet, squelching 1c1c846d42 sounds felt exaggeratedly afc09e9e3b vivid and heated.30da40d34ad92eec

The dagger was still d5e9323fb5 lodged in Rio’s chest. The closer I 84f9afea21 got to him, 4d5b5a7672 the deeper the d1a610b065 blade sank. I had a619e06020 to remove e7eab8b5ed it or e75b5e4a47 at least 692f4ebb95 shift out fb8225ac75 of this 5e00c7d363 position where 4551d7c6cc I was d997ada7b8 pinning him 92e4f2ad3a down.e9ec10642be43589

Only then did I b431375164 let out a relieved eaddd2d325 breath, collapsing weakly onto 6b176fb6aa Rio’s chest.

“Did you 9d0858f544 wake up d38d25e4d7 because you 78f0a9f629 heard my 550304253d voice?”6c85e70c855db44e

“Yeah. I kept wandering 30194bda4a aimlessly, unable to 17aaaf0486 find my way, c0bfce1c3f until I heard 0d0d62a2ef your voice. The fake d3013cc7d4 Souls kept 5453e98bad saying they a0f478fb92 hated me 36fafd9f04 and wanted 326dd6bc86 me gone, 6b5e892174 but your bc4e9c0d25 voice was 875cc626cb the only db0fd505f8 one that 42ac2da70f said it 4632dd3631 loved me.”1ce293b750dcc066

Just as a fake 26125fb758 Rio had appeared before 3c863516cb me and spouted nonsense, b66fb7af98 it seemed a fake 2aa063bbed Kang Soul had appeared b918754d30 before him as well.1ca07ccaf8ffaf6f

Rio brought my hand 2aa268d23d to his mouth, biting a5d0d1c9bd each of my fingers 567e35622c gently. It felt 506ab16de4 like he 67973ffca2 was both a9bdc858e3 checking if efa6207c79 I was b104e8ad18 real and eb2ae3041e leaving his b16266f047 mark, claiming f2fbaea83b me as 0c9efa25ab his.ae59cd469f576db2

“There’s no way 2066fcc0d9 the Souls who ae232b4fc8 hate me could f3cbc4d091 be real. So, I ran toward bf2b873c71 the voice that said 4b062344ff it loved me. Then, suddenly, the 5ee9dbb599 surroundings lit up, 1d285c145f and I saw a8ab804574 you.”49f2149b807ed16d

The moment the b5617fb669 surroundings brightened must ca61035042 have been when 54504ee0c2 he broke through 939fd89529 the shadows and 95ca438fe8 regained consciousness. Considering he ran toward e8ea6a5182 me after hearing my 69a4dbd92a confession, his lips pressing f1d907673a against mine the moment 06442a1aa9 he woke up made 01d5911919 sense.8bdfeb55de9d073f

“I’m just glad… we 4d89f1cbb3 got to meet again.”41d2051f801f01d6

Letting out a d3fa76bbf4 sigh of relief, 356312e6cd I pulled Rio 002e17e6b8 into a hug. I’d wanted to 1c5c8526a7 hug him like 490260e189 this from the 491ffb4556 start. To hold 8451cffae5 him close 51b861e22f and hear a8824a8a7a his heartbeat b9e46d973f thundering against 7a17ba2c94 mine. To feel with 382c7a50c2 my entire body 8944b973ff that Rio was 5e37a9b5fc alive and breathing 9093702772 right in front 244423c9b5 of me.d3bf6aba3896b9bb

I had f71a4c1772 come so d88b34ed5e close to b461f90066 taking the fd04c2882d last breath 0f70969745 of someone 32ed49569e precious to 69be7f8191 me with dfb8554595 my own 3ff8e1c1b1 hands.08c7cf6631a74611

Though it wasn’t 108af44066 true death, and b305cf3381 my strength was e17db7b4ea so pathetic that db2f6cc9c1 stabbing him only b1d82ec4e0 dealt 5 HP 3527d549f2 in damage, I 0baca875d7 could have potentially eaad0e2be6 caused Rio’s game ebed1b36bd over today.

“How could d45ee0a7d1 you even 149e5a77bd think about 19a4c449b3 making me e0f4017dd7 game over?”34a9656095ca3639

I hadn’t realized Rio, 6bcc38e1d5 unconscious at the time, 0a56fe24d4 had been aware of c80dbc7624 everything. Even if he 961a822504 had been, it 0eda58bee2 wouldn’t have changed 6fc7956e54 my decision. But at 7e631930f1 the very b75ec24618 least, I 4b8bcfc5d8 should’ve explained a564bfe668 that game 29d3266e65 over would 7ec19fcdc1 allow him b25936d3a1 to return 20aa96be24 to Earth 945c1256c7 and remove 86aca23ddb his abnormal 9e4a2550ed status.4ae8bd88f8cd51d4
