Collapse Simulator, why are we drifting apart?

It was a day later when Firefly woke up again.

Listening to the tiny song beside her ear, she opened her eyes confusedly and empty. She slept very soundly. The familiar voice in her ear never stopped, as if he was always by her side. She slept so soundly that in her dream she forgot the fact that Fan Mu had been abandoned by her.

Like it didn't matter at all, like it hadn't happened yet and was just her fantasy.

She huddled in the corner for a while, listening to the familiar voice and imagining that he was still by her side. Her empty eyes gradually regained some consciousness, and she asked softly with her eyes drooping.

"What time is it now?"

"Ms. Liuying, we have arrived at Grammer."

"Really...I slept...how long?"

"34 hours, 32 minutes, Miss Liuying."

"Why did I sleep so long?"

"Because I put a little special perfume, miss!"

Countless memories flooded her mind, causing her to not notice Sam's slightly strange voice.

"...Can you let me out now?"

"..."

Listening to her question, Sam fell silent for almost a minute. This time, no matter how absent-minded Liuying was, he noticed something unusual.

"what happened?"

Sam didn't answer, but changed the subject.

"Ms. Liuying, do we need to change our destination and go to another planet?"

Hearing his words, she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

"unnecessary!"

"according to……"

Sam wanted to say something, but Liuying interrupted him again.

"Sam, don't forget that I am your master!"

"……Understood."

As these words fell, the layer of cold armor that separated her from Fan Mu slowly opened and finally disappeared, and her feet stepped on the crisp, soft ground again.

The dazzling sunlight did not shine in, the world was dim, and there was a sky full of dim stars twinkling above head, but no moon.

The air was filled with a burning smell. At a glance, there were no flowers or plants, no people, no light, only a shadow, which was the remains of the cavalry and insects.

It was like this all around, with debris scattered all over the ground.

Liuying slumped on the ground, mouth open. She wanted to roar fiercely, to wail to vent, to cry loudly, but in the end she could only pound the scorched earth over and over again, unable to do anything else.

Grammer...is gone!

She and Fan Mu’s home is gone, why?

She kept wailing and crying for a long time, so long that she couldn't squeeze out a single tear. Her eyes were slightly swollen and red. She didn't know when, perhaps because she was tired of crying, she closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she was back in the mecha, back in the narrow mecha.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have thought it was just a dream. All of this was just a dream. Outside the dream, she was still hugging Fan Mu tightly, sleeping in a warm quilt, squeezed in a small bed.

In the following days, Liuying's face was lifeless. The originally optimistic and cheerful girl turned into a walking corpse.

There was not a ripple in her pink eyes as she found the ruins of the city, where they lived, and her original home. She numbly cleaned up the things around her, took out the mutilated corpses from the mecha, and dug deep pits to bury them.

Only when night falls and time comes to night, she will sit on the collapsed, broken high-rise building in the ruins and look at the starry sky quietly.

The evening breeze was cold, and countless stars were reflected in her eyes, shining brightly, as if these were her eyes. Her silver hair danced in the wind, blending into the bright moonlight, like an angel from heaven with broken wings, waiting for something.

Only at this time did her eyes become more lively and no longer numb.

The days passed one by one. When she was tired, she returned to the cold armor, listened to songs and rested. After resting, she began to clean up the surrounding ruins.

first day.

All the bodies in the surrounding area were buried.

the next day.

All the broken tiles and bricks around the house were cleared away.

Day three.

She found intact, brand new wooden boards and bricks from somewhere and wanted to rebuild her home brick by brick.

She had no experience in construction, and every step she took was based on what was in the database, every brick, every tile, every piece of wood, every screw...

On the fourth and fifth days...

It was not until the seventh day that she finished building the house. When she opened the door, she saw a familiar yet unfamiliar scene inside, and it was cold and deserted.

Liuying thought that as long as the house was built, everything would be fine, Fanmu would come back, and she would be able to see him the first time he came back and have a good rest.

But she found out that she was wrong. She walked into the store in a daze. With the creaking sound of the wooden door, the room became dark. She sat alone in front of the counter, not knowing what to do next.

Until now, she has not received any news from Fan Mu and the company.

The darkness enveloped her. She drank some unknown wine she found in the ruins. She felt dazed and drunk. In a trance, she looked back at the counter. She didn't know when a figure appeared there. He was wearing gloves and staring blankly at the yellowish baking table.

"A great philosopher?"

Liuying's face flushed and she called out uncertainly.

As if he had noticed her cry, the figure turned around and looked at her. His figure was extremely clear, but his face was covered with a layer of mist, making it impossible to see his face clearly.

He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and stretched out his hand to greet her.

Liuying stood up suddenly, and the wine bottle on the table rolled to the ground because of the shaking. With a crisp sound, the figure in front of him disappeared.

Liuying stood there, dazed for a long time, then chuckled, tilted his head back to drink another bottle of wine, and slumped back in his seat.

"Ms. Liuying, you have already drunk a lot of alcohol. After examination, if you drink more, the damage to your body will increase significantly."

Liuying didn't say anything, as if she didn't hear anything, and continued to drink until...

"Ms. Liuying, Mr. Fanmu gave you advice and gave me the authority. If you continue drinking, I have the right to stop you by force!"

Bang! The wine bottle hit the table heavily.

"Then ask him to come and talk to me in person!"

Liuying said this nonchalantly, but when she looked at the wine glass in her hand, she picked it up several times and brought it to her lips, but in the end she didn't drink it, her eyes just turned red.

He threw it aside in annoyance.

"Miss Liuying, do you want me to make you a small cake?"

Sam's voice sounded out at an inopportune moment.

Liuying lay on the table and buried her head in her hands.

"No, small cakes and the like are the worst!"

"..."

"I don't understand."

"..."

“Play me a song.”

"Yes, Miss Liuying."

There was no selection, the familiar melody continued to echo in the empty house, the soothing melody that one never tires of listening to.
