"N-no, of course not!"
Lu Ya immediately denied it, then lowered her voice and said, "He's my lover. Later his body functions weakened, and in the end he died. Then everyone said he had to be cremated."
Zi Yuan listened and froze for a moment.
So in that other world, her final ending was still death?
Not that surprising.
"But I didn't want him to leave."
Hugging the glass tube that held only a single eyeball, Lu Ya murmured, "If they cremated him, then I'd never see him again. I couldn't accept that, so I secretly took my lover out of the hospital and went somewhere very, very far away."
So that's why, during the Heart Image Trial, Lu Ya was nowhere to be seen in that world.
"But, you know this too, a corpse is actually very hard to transport, so I came up with a way to separate my lover's body, and then preserve it intact that way. I planned to figure out how to put him back together once we got to our destination, so that I could be with him forever..."
