Name : 감별 (Sentimental Star)

I looked up at the stars in the night sky

And suddenly stopped walking for no reason.

The emotions I put off in my daily life grabbed me

And seemed to be shouting. You can shine.

Are there sentimental stars in your sky too?

Short Introduction

[Im dead?]

The March sky was somehow heavy with the word beginning.

I looked out the window as I trying to avoid looking at the smart gray kid.

Thats how it is. Sorry, thats how my ability works.

 

A ghost was someone who was dead. I was afraid of their existence and tried to avoid them. Was it because of the regret they had leftover even after death? There was nothing I could do for them, and all I could do was shake from my heavy heart. However. What am I supposed to do if they talk to me?
