Can the sadness that magic cannot take away be offset by love?

Enid closed her eyes.

This day is the common birthday of Iris and Aecilia, and their parents all died at 17:56 on this day.

From now on, at 17:56 every day, they will relive the fire and blood river;

At 5:56 every day from now on, they will forget the river of blood and only remember the flames.

A blazing flame, a false but true flame, a flame that burns the human body without pain, a cold, scarlet, claws-baring flame that greedily takes away everything.

The fire kept burning.

The moment Enid died, Iris suddenly woke up.

Everything just happened was replayed in her mind.

She caressed Enid's remaining warm body, easily picked up her half-weighted mother, and laid her down next to her lover.

Samuel fell asleep too, and both of them ignored her.

I don’t have my parents anymore, and my parents don’t have my parents anymore.

Iris froze the two people together, then crushed the ice cubes containing them into powder and put them all into a beautiful ice box.

She did a good job, and everyone said her talent was as good as that of any child from an aristocratic family.

You can't stay here too long, it won't be good if someone sees you.

There are a few lines written in pencil on the back of the ID:

"Your father bought you a house in the underground city here. He has already decorated it. If you don't like anything, just change it yourself...

"Don't cry for too long. Dip a towel in cold water over your eyes before going to bed. Use a hot towel when you wake up in the morning. The towel is in the bathroom and has been sterilized."

Okay, I'll go to the new house now and be with you.

*

The new house is located in a residential building in the Lawrence underground city. There is a passage on the ground that allows people to directly reach the corridor of the residential building.

She opened the door and looked at the room in front of her.

"I like the big wooden cabinet. I can store a lot of ice sculptures and magic potions in it. Dad, when will our family change the cabinet?"

The big wooden cabinet is there.

"Lulu is dead... shall we put it on the painting? I want to see it every day, and I don't want to forget it."

She looked up and saw the painting on the desk.

"I will build an ice and snow palace in the future, invite mom and dad to live in it, and give you and Lulu the biggest and most beautiful room!"

Painting on the bed.

"Blue iris flowers are also very beautiful. Why don't you like them?"

"Today's breakfast is fried eggs and milk?"

Two other paintings.

……

She likes everything here.

Those two bastards had already planned this.

Iris leaned against the door and slowly squatted down holding the ice box.

She was going to live alone in this strange place.

……

Mom said you shouldn't cry for too long.

Iris sniffed and wiped away all the snot and tears - a large pack of tissue paper had been placed on the cabinet for a long time.

Even the garbage basket has a garbage bag on it, and the towels hanging in the bathroom look exactly like the ones she uses at home.

After applying a cold compress to my eyes, I found the kitchen next to the utility room and opened the refrigerator. It was filled with ingredients and fruits, and there was a handwritten recipe on the top of the refrigerator.

She felt like she couldn't eat for the time being.

After applying another cold compress to her eyes, she wisely lay down on the bed without moving around to avoid running back and forth to the bathroom.

She hesitated to turn off the light.

The lighting can be adjusted to cool or warm colors. Warm lighting can give her a sense of security, but dark lighting will not do.

She turned the warm light very dim, but she could still see.

She covered herself with a quilt and spent her first night here.

In the early morning of the next day, Iris applied hot water to her eyes, then cooked noodles, which was her first meal here.

She had read almost everything else, but she didn't dare to open the letter on the desk.

There is a conspicuous note posted on the wooden door next to the desk:

"There's danger behind the door. Be prepared and open the door again."

She finally moved her gaze to the envelope.

The clock was ticking, and she would return to her dream in half an hour, and her schedule would be reversed day and night.

She opened the envelope and took out several pieces of writing paper.

At 5:55 in the morning, the alarm clock she had set in advance rang. Iris made all preparations and closed her eyes on the bed.

【5:56】

The first ray of sunshine in the morning fell in front of the door of Green's Bakery. The young man took the gray-haired girl's hand and pointed to the bakery's plaque:

"Look, Ecilia, our bakery has the same last name as your father!"

The girl held a toy rabbit with one hand that had been burnt to the ears and most of its body was blackened. She raised her head with difficulty to look in the direction pointed by the young man. Her face in the sun was childish and confused.
