Collapse Simulator, why are we drifting apart?

Really, why turn back?

Just like this...why not just wait for me to disappear?

"Big...brother?"

The panic that had been forgotten was finally picked up again at this moment.

Perhaps it was revenge, this time the panic reached an unprecedented peak.

The blood in Xier's body stopped flowing, and her hands and feet became cold almost instantly. Her heartbeat stopped for a moment, and her head, which was about to turn away, froze in place. She clenched her hand, only to find that the hand she was holding had been released at some point.

"Big...brother?"

In the end, she did not listen to Fan Mu's words. She turned her head mechanically, and saw that Fan Mu's whole body was burning with a transparent flame. He was naked, and the flesh on his face and hands began to blur. It was not bloody. Little by little, the flesh began to fall off and turned into ashes, which dissipated in the sky when the wind blew.

She looked into his eyes, filled with reluctance.

"You're still not obedient." Fan Mu had a bitter smile on his face.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Xier's voice was trembling because of fear.

"Nothing, it's just that big brother is going back."

Fan Mu smiled very freely, not wanting to make her worry, but he couldn't hide the weakness in his voice.

"you forgot?"

"Brother has already told you that I am from another world. Now that my time is up, I will naturally go back!"

"But!" Xier yelled, but was interrupted by his voice.

"Look!" Fan Mu pointed to the sky and breathed heavily, "The sun is rising!"

As he spoke, his eyelids slowly drooped.

He still couldn't bear the glare of the sun.

I should have worn sunglasses.

Although he could still construct, he had no strength left, and his body began to become shaky, as if he would collapse at any moment.

"Big...brother."

Xier hugged the figure tightly, which was like a candle in the wind. She couldn't say anything. She could only repeat herself over and over again.

"Big brother, please don't go!"

There was a cry in her voice.

In the darkness, Fan Mu felt something cold falling on his face.

Yes, is it raining?

His consciousness became slow.

No, it's tears, from a kid? It's really worrying.

He opened his eyes again and found himself lying in Xier's arms, facing the rising sun. Perhaps because his brain realized that he was going to die, the sunlight was not so dazzling in his eyes again, and he regained some spirit.

"Okay, stop crying." His helpless voice sounded.

This was the first time he saw Xier cry. He still remembered that when the little kid was five or six years old, even though he was seriously injured and his face was covered with alcohol, he didn't cry. Why was he crying now?

"It won't look good if you cry any more."

"Okay, stop crying, stop crying." Xier said this, tears still flowing down her face. She struggled to drag his body, "Let's go back to find Natasha. Natasha will heal you!"

As she said this, she picked up Fan Mu and wanted to run, but was stopped.

"Okay, stop moving... it hurts!"

A cry of pain stopped all her movements.

"Will you stay here with me and watch the sun?"

Xier kept opening her mouth and trying to speak, but she couldn't say anything, as if someone was holding her throat. At this moment she seemed to have become a mute. She wanted to shout, but in the end, after exhausting all her strength, she could only utter a few incomprehensible words.

"it is good."

Fan Mu looked at her, tears falling continuously on his face and clothes. His consciousness became more and more dizzy, and the fire burning on his body became more and more intense.

"Why are you looking at me? Look at the sun!"

"it is good."

Xier still agreed verbally, but her body did not move at all. She just hugged him tightly, and her eyes were reluctant to leave him for a moment.

Fan Mu left his sight with difficulty, looking at the flaming red sun, and a mosquito-like hum came out of his mouth, "What a pity."

My eyelids started twitching again.

"Xi'er, live well."

"At the last moment, do you have anything else to say to me?" he said softly.

His answer was still silence.

My sister, I'm leaving.

His heart was bound by a deep regret, and the rare family affection, the false family affection, was about to disappear at this moment.

Fan Mu leaned in Xier's arms and slowly closed his eyes.

“…I really want to…go on!”

"Me too."

Xier squeezed out these three words from between her teeth. She was afraid that she would burst into tears as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Are you telling me something? I want to hear it."

Xier felt the warmth in his arms, hugged his body which was gradually losing support, and told him about the plan he had made in a trembling voice.

“It would be nice to see the flowers I planted before bloom.”

"……Um."

“It seems like it’s only a year away from blooming.”

"......yes……"

"Let's go see the sea together in summer."

"........."

"I remember...Shiluwa promised us that he would invite us to listen to his band's performance."

"I said before that you should atone your sins, and now you have done it..."

"Let's watch a movie together..."

"Big brother……"

He no longer answered.

"Big brother……?"

He wouldn't answer either.

Fanmu...is dead.

His figure was burned to the extreme at this moment. At that moment, a breeze blew by, slightly blowing the grass on the ground.

Fan Mu's body turned into dust and dissipated in the wind.

The touch of the arms, the warmth in the arms, the familiar person in the arms disappeared at this moment.

Tears dripped onto the grass like a dam, as if it were raining.

"...Big brother...Fan Mu."

"I think... I finally understand. You asked me before why I spoke so little..."

"I've long been accustomed to being by your side, so accustomed to it that I've forgotten that there are things I should have told you a long time ago."

"Of course, big brother, if you don't want to answer this, you don't have to answer me - you are more important to me than anyone else, big brother...can you really treat me as your brother?"

"So how can I be willing, how can I be willing... to say goodbye to you in this way..."

"How can I forgive myself for leaving you here alone..."

Why did it turn out like this? Why did it end like this?

She kept torturing herself, and the pain almost chewed her chest and brain apart.

Tears had already blurred her eyes, and she raised her head.

In front of me is a huge red sun. Is this the sun?

The sky in the distance turned a fiery red. The dark world completely disappeared at this moment, replaced by hope.

Is this the sun that she had always longed to see?

My older brother said that the sun is very warm.

But now... isn't it that warm...

Big brother...liar...

She suddenly remembered that night many years ago and wondered if her elder brother had been planning to leave her.

It turns out...the older brother was crying that night.

Big brother...bad guy...

She always likes big brother.
