MyGO has been re-femaleized in the second playthrough!

"Ah ha ha...."

Really? Aine doesn't feel that way.

She was more concerned about something else.

Just now, Lamp said something incredibly off-topic—she admired my ability to be human. Even now, Aine finds it strange.

This sentence is difficult to understand, but if you reverse your thinking and deduce the reasoning, you can arrive at a conclusion:

"Does Tomorin feel like he's not human?"

Deng paused for a moment, surprised that Ai Yin would ask her about this.

She lowered her head, momentarily at a loss. Ai Yin probably asked out of curiosity, but she still couldn't find the words to say.

"It's...strange, isn't it?" the lamp finally whispered.

"A little bit."

As expected, even Aine found it strange. The light put down the flashlight and picture book, and hugged her knees.

“Because aren’t Tomorin also human?” Aine asked.

The lamp exhaled, but didn't weave any tangible words. She simply buried her face in her knees and shook her head slightly.

“I thought I could do it, but... it’s all over. I thought I could become human in the band Crychic, but I couldn’t, not even in my dreams.”

Aine knew that Riki, Suze, and Akari had all dreamt of the first timeline. They possessed some memories from the first timeline.

Even Lena might have it.

However, the parts they remembered were not entirely the same.

"Was Tomorin's dream related to me?"

"I--"

Aine placed her hand on the lamp's shoulder and said softly, "Riki and Soyorin also had similar dreams, but they weren't actually dreams."

Did Lixi and the others do it too? Deng couldn't help but raise his face.

"Not a dream?"

"Well, how do I explain it? You might not believe it, but what you see in your dream is something that actually happened, just not on this timeline."

The lamp thought about it seriously for a moment: "Like going back to my life 10 years ago...like those movies?"

"That interpretation is acceptable, I know it's absurd—"

"...I believe in Aine."

"—So it's understandable that you don't believe me...? Huh? You believe me?" Aine asked in surprise.

So fast!

Deng nodded: "Yes, I believe you. Aine wouldn't lie to me, and I also feel that the dream was too vivid; it's still in my mind, just like it really happened."

"They believed it without any evidence," Ai Yin remarked.

She really wanted to pat Deng's head right now and give him a good compliment.

"Then... it's true that Aine left me." Deng gripped the hem of her clothes tightly.

"Eh?"

leave?

The atmosphere became heavy as soon as those words were spoken.

Aine couldn't help but ask, "What does leaving mean?"

“I saw it. Lixi, Aiyin, and I were all in the recording studio. Aiyin, you silently picked up your guitar bag and left us—”

Upon hearing this, Aine understood.

What Deng was thinking about was probably the day MyGO completely collapsed.

"That girl has no intention of forming a new band; everything she does is to revive Crychic!"

Lixi lowered her head and gripped her drumsticks tightly: "That guy said he didn't need you and Lena. She used you to keep Deng and me."

Deng desperately tried to salvage the situation, saying, "No, Su Shi said she would stay with the band even after the live performance ended—"

"Does the lamp prefer Crychic?"

"Do you want to keep Su Shi, or this guy!?"

At that time, Deng didn't give a clear answer immediately, but kept saying things like, "I just want to form a band with everyone."

Admittedly, there is nothing wrong with this, and the problem isn't with the lamp.

But Aine still hoped that Akari would say at that moment, "I want Aine to stay."

Although it's unlikely, it would be great if Li Xi could say something like "This band needs Ai Yin".

But no one said anything.

They were never meant to be.

I don't necessarily have to play in a band.

"The band doesn't need me anymore, does it?"

It would be better to leave that place.

"...Lamp will team up with Su Shi to form Crychic."

Aine will never forget what happened that day. Even if their relationship improves later, it doesn't mean that the hurt they caused each other will disappear.

But as long as we continue to walk together, the wounds of the past and the scars of today will become topics of laughter in the future. As long as the happy and beautiful memories outweigh the sad ones, that's enough.

That's what everyone thinks.

But the lights now are not the same lights that share a common goal.

“I feel so much pain, I don’t want Aine to leave me.”

Deng kept his face buried in his knees and muttered, "Since forming a band is such a painful thing, then... let's not form a band."

Chapter 42 I'm doing something insatiable; if you sense it, stop me.

So that's why the lamp rejected me before. Aine understood everything.

It's a lie that she wouldn't lie to the lamp; such a clumsy lie probably wouldn't even fool Li Xi, who stayed up for three days and three nights straight, and besides, she shouldn't lie about it.

"That did happen," Aine admitted.

The lamp muttered, "Just as I thought..."

Aine pulled the blanket off her head and then grabbed the lamp's shoulders.

"But we formed the band after experiencing all of this! Everyone showed their worst side to others, and on that basis, we still made a promise to be a band for life."

Aiyin leaned closer and said earnestly, "What you've seen is only a part of the time we've spent together. It's not the end, but a new beginning!"

Deng raised her face and couldn't help but stare at Aine's face.

There was not a trace of falsehood in his eyes.

A new beginning? The lamp couldn't imagine what the future held after such painful memories. All that remained in its heart was the sharpest, clearest pain.

Aiyin said this happened on a different timeline.

That means—

"...That kind of thing might not necessarily happen in this timeline, right?" Deng whispered.

"Eh?"

Neither sad events nor a future shrouded in mist have occurred at this moment.

“What Aine described sounds wonderful and appealing... but you’ve shown me a possibility.”

"Possibility?" Ai Yin asked, puzzled.

when?

Deng lowered his head and grasped Ai Yin's wrist: "Even if we don't form a band, Li Xi, Su Shi, Ai Yin... we can still get together."

“Even after the band broke up, Lixi still wanted to play with us, and Sushi didn’t dislike being with us.”

She didn't know about Xiangzi and Mu; Mu might be willing to be with them, but Xiangzi... probably wouldn't.

But that's enough. They didn't truly crumble into pieces; although they couldn't return to their original state, they could still meet again and laugh together once more.

Aine was stunned.

This is what Lamp discovered, the other possibility she showed Lamp—the possibility of not forming a band.

"Even if we don't form a band, we can still be together."

"Then... why form a band?"

What is the reason for having to form a band?

Aine's expression twisted slightly.

This wasn't what she wanted, nor was it her original intention. The reason she brought Deng and the others back together was to resolve their misunderstandings and conflicts so that MyGO could be reorganized.

But because of this, Deng felt that it was okay not to form a band.

"Because it wasn't anyone else who proposed to me that we should form a band for life, it was you!" Ai Yin's tone became slightly agitated.

""

The lamp lowered its head and did not respond to her words.

Lamp has no such memory and lacks a sense of reality regarding Aine's words. No matter how Aine describes the story of MyGO, she cannot empathize with it and only feels that it is as beautiful as a fairy tale.

Even though they had a falling out and hurt each other badly, they still ended up forming a band together for life.

"I...I think what Aine said is very beautiful."

Too beautiful to be true.

But all she truly felt was the pain brought on by her memories.

"I feel great being with everyone, learning together, watching TV dramas together—"

Deng dared not look at Aine's expression at that moment.

"—That's enough."

Compared to the overly beautiful and dazzling stories depicted by Aine, she would rather hold on tightly to the warmth she has now.

"I want to be friends with everyone for the rest of my life," the lamp whispered.

""

“I know it’s difficult. Just like Su Shi said, everything will change after I go to university. Ai Yin might go to a university in another city, and it will be hard to see her again. But I still want to do it.”

The lamp gently held Aine's hand.

Even without a shared goal, we're like small balls on a stream, destined to be scattered. I want to hold everyone's hands tightly and continue wandering aimlessly like this.

There is no goal, and the future of this decision is unclear.

It's almost like...

"I want to get lost and be confused with Aine," Deng said, mustering her courage.

She knew this answer would definitely not be what Aine wanted, and Aine might get angry, but she also had her own principles.

Ai-yin remained silent.

"Aine struggled desperately, and even after failing, she still intended to pick herself up..."

Only two figures could be seen on the school's rooftop.

The lamp had followed her here, and now it was even closer. Aine had to take a step back to keep her distance.

She clenched her hands, and with a trembling heart, wove words she could not refuse.

"Let us..."

It is both a request and an invitation and an agreement.

Let's get lost together.
