Chapter 385: Chapter 290 I Will Kidnap You_2

I can only hope that someone in the future will see this and know that a girl was once confined here and that these are the words she wrote down.

...

"It’s great, though most people just spout nonsense, we really did get a lot of help today."

"Yes, all thanks to our daughter."

By chance, Eve heard her parents’ voices.

The content of their conversation pleased her, as she finally felt she was of some help to her mom and dad.

But then, the conversation that followed stunned her.

"But, we can’t keep going on like this."

"Yes... I know."

"Also, having to always worry about her, not being able to go far, always staying here is quite suffocating... and we can’t have someone else handle this."

"That’s right, and every time we come to see her, it puts us on edge, and then there’s the constant worry that someone might secretly break in while we’re away and find her. If her existence is discovered, we’ll be doomed."

"...Maybe, we should not hide her here anymore?"

"What? Are you saying we should hide her somewhere else? Wouldn’t that be even more dangerous? Have you lost your mind?"

"No... I mean, let her... rest in peace."

"Indeed, to others, she has just disappeared, whether she’s alive or dead remains unclear, and... it would forever eliminate our concerns."

"I think Eve... wouldn’t want to live in that kind of environment all her life, right? Living like that, it’s too painful."

"Yes, let’s give her relief. This is also our... final responsibility as parents."

"...Eh?" Eve froze.

She couldn’t understand what her parents were talking about at first, only instinctively feeling scared.

What does this mean? Could it be that I... am going to die?

Eve had once heard that if you endure something very painful, you will never wake up again; forever asleep, that is death.

Never waking up... that must surely feel even more non-existent than the dark environment she was currently in.

Somehow, Eve felt a profound fear about this.

Thus, Eve curled up in a corner of the dark room, clutching tightly to herself, as it was the only way she could feel her own existence.

Then, listening to her parents arguing about who should do it from the direction of the door, she couldn’t stop trembling.

Until...

"...!"

That day, Eve once again heard footsteps outside the door, and she instinctively felt scared.

But when the footsteps stopped at the door, Eve immediately stumbled towards the door!

"Is... is that you?"

"..."

Silence continued outside, but for Eve, such a response was the best reply.

"Thank you, you really... came again."

Eve felt her eyes grow warm and moist; she could finally communicate with someone again.

Even if it was just a one-sided conversation, it was better than being all alone talking to herself.

"After that day, how much time had passed? I’m not sure, it just felt like... a really long time had gone by."

"Right right, during this time, mom and dad have visited me more often, it seems they are finally not so busy anymore. Moreover, they’ve become gentler than before, and often ask if there’s anything I want, or anything I’d like to eat."

That day, Eve talked about many things to the stranger outside the door, and that stranger, too, listened silently to Eve’s words, not saying a word.

Until Eve brought up that incident.

"I’m sorry, once again I kept talking about myself. Right, there’s one last thing, just listen to this last thing, and after that, you won’t have to keep listening to these boring things anymore, okay?"

"......"

Opposite the door, there was still silence; at the same time, there were no footsteps indicating departure, it was perhaps an implied consent.

So, Eve continued, "...in a little while, I’m going to die... I guess, my mom and dad will kill me."

"...Eve."

Then, the stranger outside the door, surprisingly spoke again, calling out Eve’s name.

His voice, unlike last time, was quite clear and fluent now, and Eve finally realized, it was a very pleasant, young voice.

"...Eh?" Eve was taken aback, "You... know my name?"

And the man outside the door, slowly asked:

"Do you... know what death means?"

"Death?" Facing this question, Eve was no longer surprised but started thinking seriously, "Hmm... it must be, something very painful, something very frightening, right? But since it’s what mom and dad want from me, I will try to overcome the pain and fear. Because they love me, and I must also love them in return."

"...Really?" He sighed softly, "You still don’t understand what death really means, it’s much more painful than you imagine. Living is painful, but dying doesn’t mean relief, to escape from these pains. It’s not an escape, but a complete giving up, and even though it’s faint, as long as you are alive, there is hope. But once dead, the possibility of happiness is also completely cut off."

"Even so, I don’t mind," Eve still firmly said: "I... am not afraid of death. Plus, a child absolutely must not leave their parents’ side, that is true misfortune, isn’t it?"

"Really?" The man opposite the door slowly asked, "Is that... your choice?"

"Yes," Eve nodded vigorously.

"You have made your choice, huh?" He let out a long breath, "You... made a choice, and then, are you willing to take responsibility for your choice?"

"Take responsibility?" Eve answered, puzzled: "Although I don’t know what responsibility that entails, since it’s my choice, I will take responsibility."

"How regrettable," suddenly, he said, "Although you’ve resolved to make a choice, regretfully, I am not planning to let you get your way."

"...Eh? What are... you saying?" Eve froze.

"From the beginning, children don’t have the right to make decisions, to make choices and take responsibility for them, that is the privilege of mature adults."

As his voice echoed in Eve’s ears, she also heard the sound of the locked door being unlocked.

"So, this is my choice, I will take the responsibility for it, and you... don’t have the right to choose, you can only do as I wish, do as I think... and leave here quietly."

"...Leave, here?" Eve finally realized the intention of the person on the other side of the door, "You... want to take me away from my home, from my mom and dad?"

"That’s right, from the beginning, I had no intention of helping you, so I won’t let you die here as you wish."

The door handle turned, the door... opened gently.

Light... light that Eve hadn’t seen for a long time, streamed in from outside, even though not very intense, it still seemed somewhat dazzling to her.

Once Eve finally adjusted to the light and could open her eyes, she saw, that youth who had been conversing with her from outside the door.

"..."

Then, the youth looked at her and softly said:

"Eve, next... I am going to kidnap you."
