The lights in the courtroom suddenly brightened, and by this time, tears were streaming down my face.

The judge reached out his hand towards me, and I saw beneath his sinister mask a pair of deep and calm eyes, pure black inside.

"Make a wish, you will be leaving soon." His voice was deep, yet strangely gentle, making me feel calm.

I lowered my head and indeed saw my body becoming transparent.

So, I made a wish towards the New Year fireworks.

Xiaohui, Xiaohui.

May you not live such a bitter life in the next life.

May you be happy, peaceful, and safe every day, just as Director Mom said.
