August 15.
Even though the sun has already set, there is hot and humid air around.
Sweat was squirting from my body running up the stairs of the apartment.
"good bye"
I quickly knew what that meant.
Despite the time of Obon, I was working at work, and after getting ready to go home, I hurried to the apartment where my house was.
Then I found her with hollow eyes standing on the roof of the apartment, outside the fence.
This is actually the fourth time I've seen her jumping and trying to commit suicide.
It is said that there are two types of human beings in the world.
The drive for life ── human beings dominated by "Eros",
The drive for death ── A human being dominated by "Thanatos".
Most of the people in this world are the former, but she was undoubtedly the latter.
I knew she was dominated by "Thanatos" even before I started dating her.
That should be it, we met when I helped her who is trying to commit suicide on the roof of the apartment as it is now.
A girl who recently moved to the same apartment.
She has round eyes, plump lips, and a cute face, but with a fragile expression, she instantly captivated me.
I'm sure it was love at first sight.
From that point on, I started talking to her and soon became friends.
For me, who worked for a black company and lived alone and lonely, she was like an angel who had descended from heaven.
I had one question.
She always contacts me when she tries to commit suicide.
And I'm waiting on the spot until I come.
I think it's better to die alone without telling anyone,
Perhaps she thought somewhere in her heart that she wanted me to stop suicide and help me, just like when I met her.
Therefore, I run up the stairs of the apartment like this this time as well.
"Huh, huh ..."
You will reach the roof of the condominium.
I found her back standing behind the fence.
"wait…!!"
Jump over the fence and take her hand.
Her hands were cold against the sultry air.
"let me go"
A ephemeral and cute voice that resembles the sound of a bell.
I also liked her voice.
"Why do you do that ...!"
"I want to die soon"
"why…!"
"Because Shinigami-san is calling"
She sees a "reaper".
It is said that it is a rare symptom in humans controlled by "Thanatos".
And "Grim Reaper" can only be seen by humans controlled by "Thanatos".
"There is no god of death"
"Why don't you understand ...!"
When I deny the god of death, she always cries.
The god of death seems to be the most attractive to those who see it.
So to speak, it looks like an ideal person.
When she was staring at the Grim Reaper (although to me it only seemed to be staring at the void), she looked like a girl in love.
It's like I'm in love with it.
I didn't like her look.
"Don't look at the god of death, look at me."
"I hate ...!"
She tried to shake my hand, so I squeezed it.
"pain…!"
"!sorry…"
But you're wrong.
I'm trying to shake my hand.
Because they don't look at me.
"Grim Reaper doesn't do this ...!"
Black things come to my heart.
"why…"
Why don't you just look at me when I love you so much?
Somewhere in my heart I thought it was ridiculous to be jealous of the god of death, but I didn't care about that anymore.
"I don't like it anymore"
I don't like it either.
"I'm tired already"
I'm tired too.
"I want to die soon"
"I want to die too !!"
At that time, she raised her face.
I was smiling.
As soon as I saw her smile, I suddenly felt that the black things in my heart disappeared.
Oh, maybe this is it.
"Finally ... did you notice?"
"Oh ... I finally got it."
"Really ...? I'm glad."
Oh, I see.
I called me every time you tried to commit suicide, not because I wanted help.
You wanted to take me.
The "reaper" for me was her.
A cool breeze blows through.
Before I knew it, I didn't feel the heat and humidity.
"Then, let's go"
"Oh, let's go"
You and I holding hands.
To escape the impatience that this world brings to us
I ran towards the night sky
