Qiluo: “Are you hurt?”

When I nodded, he smiled in relief and gently stroked my head. Ah… but still.

I might be fine, but you are not.

The neurotoxin consuming his body continued to worsen with every passing moment. Because of me, more and more painful scars spread across his beautiful face.

I quietly reached up and touched his cheek. He stopped the hand that had been patting my head and tilted his head slightly in confusion. Yet his expression remained just as gentle as ever.

Qiluo: “You look worried. What’s wrong?”

You: “Qiluo…”

Qiluo: “…Don’t make that face. I told you before, didn’t I? You promised not to worry about me.”

You: “But…”

Qiluo: “I was prepared for this. And so were you, right? You have to stay strong. It’s okay. I’ll keep standing until the very end, and I won’t die until I’ve seen you off.”

You: “……”

Those words made my wavering resolve tremble even more.

I had made it this far because of him. And yet, more than gratitude, I was overwhelmed by guilt for hurting him like this.

As if he could sense everything I was feeling, Qiluo lovingly brushed his fingers against my cheek.

Qiluo: “I’m fine. Seeing you make that face hurts me. You’re going back to Earth, aren’t you? So say those words again. Those words alone are enough to keep us moving forward.”

You: “……”

Enduring the ache tightening in my chest, I forced out the words that bound both him and me together.

You: “Fight for me. And… I want you to die for me…”

As I spoke through trembling tears, he smiled softly and nodded.

Qiluo: “Of course. Come on, just a little longer now. …Let’s go.”

綺螺「ケガはない？」

私が頷くと、彼はほっとしたように微笑み、優しく頭を撫でてくれました。 ――ああ、でも。

私は無事でも、あなたは違う。

彼の身体を蝕む神経毒は、今もなお確実に悪化し続けています。 そのせいで、彼の綺麗な顔には痛々しい傷が増えていく一方でした。

私はそっと彼の頬に触れました。 すると彼は、私の頭を撫でていた手を止め、不思議そうに首を傾げます。 けれど、その表情は変わらず優しいままでした。

綺螺「不安げな顔。どうしたの？」

あなた「綺螺……」

綺螺「……そんな顔をしちゃだめだ。言っただろ？ 俺の心配はしない約束だ」

あなた「でも……」

綺螺「覚悟の上だ。それは君も同じだろ？ しっかりしなきゃ。 大丈夫。最後まで俺は立ち続けるし、君を見送るまで絶対死なないから」

あなた「……」

その言葉に、揺らぎかけていた決意が胸の奥で軋みました。

ここまで来られたのは、彼がいてくれたからです。 それなのに私は、感謝よりも先に、彼を傷つけていることへの罪悪感でいっぱいになっていました。

そんな私の心情を察したのか、綺螺は愛おしそうに私の頬を指先で撫でます。

綺螺「俺は大丈夫。そんな顔をする君を見る方が辛いよ。 地球に帰るんだろ？ だから、あの言葉をもう一度言って。 その言葉だけで、俺達は進めるから」

あなた「……」

胸を締めつける痛みに耐えながら、私は彼と自分を縛るその言葉を、ゆっくりと絞り出しました。

あなた「私の為に、戦って。 そして私の為に、死んでほしい……」

涙を堪えながら告げると、彼は穏やかに微笑み、静かに頷きます。

綺螺「もちろんだ。 さあ、あともう少しの辛抱だ。 ……行こう」
