Because everyone remembered the heavy, lonely fragments of Fu Hua's memories they had seen before.
The images in those memories gradually faded.
It seemed she had never truly lived for herself.
Choosing her path, deciding what to do-it all came down to a word from her captain and Dr. Mei.
Like a puppet on strings.
The girl tugged at the corners of her mouth, her tone tinged with self-mockery.
"Canghai City is full of memories."
Everywhere she went, she ran into shadows of the past.
Like fishhooks waiting for a fish to bite.
This feeling of being caught by the past was awful.
So she had to leave.
After hearing this, Hua's gaze grew a little unfocused.
"I... don't want to stay in my hometown either."
She even felt she might not be able to stay in Canghai City in the future.
For that brief moment, her mind had been empty.
She hadn't even had a direction.
Maybe she really didn't have a dream.
The atmosphere instantly turned cold.
Seeing this, the girl quickly reached out and patted her shoulder.
"Don't let me drag you down!"
"Dreams aren't rice. You won't starve to death without them."
"If you've got one, work at it. If you don't... you'll have one someday."
"We're still young."
Hua nodded gently, but a mist of tears welled in her eyes.
"But to me..."
"No matter where I go, these memories are too precious."
"I want them etched into my bones forever."
To remember forever.
The instant those words fell, the players watching their screens had their hearts broken.
That final blade plunged mercilessly into everyone's chest.
The person who wanted to hold on to everything in her past...
Was forced to stand at the edge of oblivion.
To seal away everything she treasured on Mount
