Aunt and nephew talking

"Lily, you have been sentenced to death."

"Sleep well."

The words of the cat leader were spoken before pushing you into the sea.
She sank into the sea little by little... before she finally breathed her last.

The lifeless body and the soul began to separate, leaving only an empty body sinking into the sea, and her soul floating above the sea.

Her eyes opened in panic. Where is this place... Does everyone see me?... Why am I here...?

She swam up to the sea, in a state without any body to touch... Her eyes only looked at everyone there, but they did not see her...

Why can't everyone see me... I am so alone...

"Lily..." A mysterious voice said.
Lily turned to meet the mysterious young cat who spoke to her.

"Who are you?..." Lily asked.

"I came to take you to the afterlife." He said with a smile.
Before he flew straight to her. Ready to grab her palm and pull her spirit body up from the ground

"My name is Sunset. I'm here to take you to live with me.."

"B-but what about my boyfriend?" Lily asked.

"He'll definitely meet you...but not now...come with me."  Sunset answered her question before the two of them slowly floated above the ground and sea, heading east.

"So,Why do you know my name...Sunset..." Lily asked as she flew east.

Sunset chuckled before speaking back. "My mother told me about you many lifetimes ago."

"Your mother...? Are you my niece...?" Lily asked in shock.

"Why not? Aunt Lily, you were my family before. Why wouldn't you know?" Sunset chuckled.

"Then I'll meet my nephew!" Lily replied in shock. "Then why are you here? In the afterlife? What happened to you? What about my sister?"

Sunset sighed softly before answering the question.
"Before I died, my aunt's sister, or my mother, she died in the war. My father also died in the war... I have no siblings... My friends were all injured one after another, suffering from wounds that were too much to handle. It wasn't long before I died from wounds that were too much to heal and save my life..."

"After I died, someone saw my loyalty. They gave me the afterlife, and I've been standing here ever since."

Lily, who had heard about the afterlife, her ears immediately drooped..
She had never thought that her grandson's life would be so miserable.

"But," Sunset chuckled.

"My life has been rewarded enough. That's why I'm here.

I believe you can do the same."

"I don't know... I've been good to everyone, but I've been bullied by heaven, and I've had to kill everyone... I don't plan on--"

"It's because of my aunt's kindness that I'm here, and I believe that they will give you an afterlife as well."

"But... my boyfriend... I left him after I died... I don't want to leave him alone... He's the only one I have in my life... and I only have him in my life as well..." Lily said with tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Lily, I believe he will wait for you... He will always wait for you... He must believe that you will come back someday.." Sunset comforted Lily with a smile.

"Will he really wait for you.." Lily asked.

"Of course. Who wouldn't wait for a beautiful girl like you?" Sunset replied with a smile.

"Do you like sea creatures? Look," Sunset asked her, pointing at the seabed below.

Sea creatures swam in the water. Some rays jumped up and tried to fly. Flying fish flew above the seabed to migrate.

Lily's eyes lit up at the beauty of the sea creatures.
"It's...so beautiful...I've never seen anything so beautiful before..."

"If you become a Stelciar, I promise to take you to the person you love the most." Sunset promised with a smile.

"I promised..." Lily said with a small smile and looked at her nephew.

"Of course... I don't want to see anyone suffer from the loss of their loved ones... Are you ready to go to the afterlife...?" Sunset asked.
Lily nodded slightly that she was ready.

Not long after, Sunset held her aunt's soul and said a prayer.

Sunset soars above the clouds with Lily's spirit.
Sending her to the afterlife.

"If your life is good enough, they will definitely reward you...
If that day comes, you will definitely meet the person you love..."

He just watched Lily fly to the east before smiling. "I'll follow you... and take you to him too..."
