When he woke up, there were tear stains at the corners of his eyes.
His eyes were red as he hoarsely said, "Sophie."
"Hmm?"
I was trying on clothes.
After seeing me, he lay down again, closed his eyes, and covered his face with his arms.
His breathing deepened for a moment before calming.
After putting on my jacket, I twirled twice in front of him.
"Does it look good?"
He looked up, his pupils a ghostly light brown in the sunlight.
His voice teasing, with a hint of a smile: "It would look if you wear nothing."
I blushed, annoyed: "What are you saying!"
He chuckled, watching me silently.
I said helplessly, "It's my birthday the day after tomorrow."
"I know."
"Will you visit my grave at my hometown to pay respects?"
He didn't answer.
I clicked my tongue.
"..."
I placed my hand on my chest, indicating a height.
"You haven't visited my grave for a long time."
Truly neglectful.
I was an orphan and not very sociable.
The police could only find him to claim my body.
I laughed.
I never expected him to be the one to see me off.
He claimed my body in the morgue.
My death was rather gruesome; my head was smashed, and my body bruised.
Back then, he couldn't see me.
I saw his hand tremble.
The police gave him some time and then left.
Some might say he was cold-hearted. Others would wail at my sight, but he didn't.
He just stood by me, staring intently.
He should have cried a little, even if just pretending to be sad.
After all, we had been together for three years.
After a while, he lightly flicked my nose.
Saying, "I wonder if you died content."
No one in the empty room responded.
