"Where am I? Or am I dead?" pondered a slender yet frail woman. The woman had a beautiful but pale face, as she questioned herself, her deep black eyes scanned her surroundings with wonder. Shortly after, her pale face broke into a content smile upon realizing something.

    Memories of the past began to surface in her mind, unfolding slowly like a film reel.

    Indeed, she was walking on a path with her young relatives, who wanted to eat shaved ice.

    "Aunt Lin, can you walk faster? Noey wants to eat shaved ice soon," the little girl said demandingly, then quickly ran across to the other side, not waiting for Kewalin, who was following behind. The older woman didn't even get a chance to stop her, so she had to run after her closely.

    A familiar white sedan rushed towards them, screeching to a halt. The slender woman turned to look at the car coming in fast, nearly reaching where she and the little girl stood. She quickly decided to push the small figure out of the car's path.

    Her beautiful face turned to look at the car again, locking eyes with the furious driver inside.

    She didn't close her eyes or turn away to avoid danger. Instead, her eyes sparkled with a bright smile, perhaps the first genuine smile she had in her nineteen years of life.

    Then, her body was sent flying by the impact, with the sound of tires screeching filling the street, followed by a loud crash as her fragile body collided with the car, flinging her several meters away. She faintly heard the girl's loud cry before her consciousness faded to nothing.

    Yet, her face still wore a smile. She was grateful... for the release...

    ‘I must be dead for sure,’ she confidently told herself. The combination of past events and the strange landscape before her made her pale, bloodless face and faint lips spread into a wide grin.

    Before saying...

    "I'm dead... Haha, I finally died."
