“You won the bet.”

“What?”

“That, that man… Lord Raymond came.”

Dulan looks at Raymond, not at Karen at his feet. He was running toward Karen. He leaps, stepping on the soldiers’ heads. Arrows fly from the entrance but there’s no way they’ll hit him. Raymond approached the tower. He grabbed the wall. Their eyes met. Dulan looked at Raymond and said.

“Actually, I… anyone… might not have mattered much. Now I understand.”

“Stop pretending, you bastard!”

Karen screamed. And she saw something strange.

“N-now let go.”

Dulan smiled. It was a smile that seemed to tear his own mouth.

“You, you know.”

Karen thinks.

Maybe.

Maybe.

Now of all times.

Karen suddenly had such a thought.

Karen hadn’t been that angry at Dulan until now. She had been irritated and frustrated that he wouldn’t speak even after coming this far, but Dulan made her feel somewhat different emotions.

It wasn’t an emotion felt from his character or attitude like with Raymond, but rather a sense of camaraderie from sharing secrets. Unlike Raymond who didn’t trust Karen, he believed in her.

But was there any guarantee that wasn’t a mistake?

Just, just. Maybe Dulan was… just, just.

“This time will be different.”

Did those words mean that if she died this time, she would really die?

Maybe even her living again was a delusion?

If she died this time, would she just really die?

It’s okay. That’s a good thing, isn’t it.

Even now?

If she just died like this… would it really be okay? Wouldn’t it be scary? Would it be okay if darkness just came and she died like this? Could she accept returning to nothingness, her thoughts scattering, ultimately getting no answers and returning to dust and ash? Truly?

“Now you’ll be okay.”

Dulan stepped on Karen’s fingertips.

“Karen!”

Raymond gritted his teeth. He had to move his body more forcefully. Raymond looked at Karen hanging from the window and gauged the height. He bent his legs once and leaped. He reached the wall.

The tower’s wall was vertical, but that wasn’t a big problem for Raymond. Raymond jumped up using the gaps between the old tower’s stones. The wall was like flat ground to him. An arrow grazed his ear.

I can catch her, I can catch her! Raymond ran. He leaped up the wall. The wall was nearly vertical but that wasn’t a problem for him. He reaches out his hand toward Karen.

Their eyes met.

But what he grasped was empty air.

Karen fell down, down. So lightly.

And a terrible sound was heard.
