[Ultraman] Lonely Heart

The rain was pattering down.

The water droplets falling from the sky hit the ground, echoing rhythmically, and the mist like smoke spreads between the sky and the earth, as if covering the whole world with a layer of tulle, which is vaguely invisible. Only the only clear sound of rain filled my ears.

Sylvia sat alone under the rain curtain, feeling the coldness of the water droplets on her skin, and did not move for a long time.Not far behind her, the crowd standing under the eaves to hide from the rain looked here frequently, whispering whether they recognized her or not.After all, even in the earth’s rainy season simulated by technology in the universe experience hall, the realistic wet feeling is not easy to accept, but she seems to feel nothing, and blends with the rain screen. No matter what the reason is, such an indescribable atmosphere is indeed There will be a kind of decadence without any worries.

And she doesn't care about it.

There are too many holes in life, and only in the overwhelming noise can we find a little silence.Hikari once recommended the Universe Experience Hall to her to accompany her children to play, but now it has become a paradise for escaping reality. All the bleak despair and helplessness are gone in the sound of the rain, and there is no memory of the past or worry. future.

She didn't know how long she had been sitting there.

Until a certain moment, the falling raindrops were covered by something, the cold water droplets scattered, and the noise faded away.Sylvia slowly raised her head and looked at Sophie, who was holding up an umbrella for her, and heard him seem to sigh, which was a little unreal in the hazy misty rain.

"You're here by yourself again."

He said this slowly, with the same unbearable voice as when he stated to her many years ago about the decision to send Sai Luo to K76: "Although we don't get sick from the rain like humans, we still need to pay attention to it." For good."

Sylvia looked at him and was silent for a long time.

"It's ok."

The rain-drenched voice was hoarse.She was quiet for a while, until she realized that the other party was determined to stay here and sat next to her, then she shook her head as an answer.

Accustomed to such plain paleness, Sophie nodded slightly, regardless of whether the other party listened or not, she told her about the recent situation of the boy on K76:

"Leo said that he has made great progress recently. Training with a practice armor is always more intense than the usual methods, but anyway, the child is still up to date, and with the King of Ultra watching, nothing will happen... "

Back then, when Sylvia finally returned to the Kingdom of Light, Sai Luo had made an irreparable mistake.If Seven hadn't stopped him at the last moment, perhaps he would have followed in Beria's footsteps and could never turn back.She couldn't go to K76 to see him, all the news could only be heard sporadically from Sophie's mouth, and that was far from filling the ever-widening crack in her heart, as well as the hopelessness and self-loathing that grew out of her blood.

That was like a joke of fate.Back then, Beria resolutely abandoned her and chose power, and now Sero has made the same decision, reaching out to the plasma spark.Sylvia didn't know what it was for, but there was no doubt that years of companionship and pampering still couldn't remove the shadow in his heart, so that the seeds of thirst for power did not know when to take root, but she didn't even know it, and finally He could only helplessly watch fate push all his important people away, leading to an almost equally broken ending.

It was a hysterical sense of powerlessness, the exhaustion and despair that came when a self-deceiving dream was torn apart.

She seems to be repeating the same mistakes all her life, struggling on the edge of right and wrong without any meaning.The publicity of her youth was wiped out, and the hopes she regained ended in dismal. There were many times when Sylvia felt that she was just a ghost living in this world, with no worries and no attachments, and would never reach the future. So I can only sit in the silence of no one day after day, exile myself aimlessly.

And it was probably because the tiredness in her eyes was too strong, and it was also because she was afraid that she would really be unable to think about it for a while, so she would just leave everything behind and leave forever.Sophie would often look for her like this in the rain at the Cosmic Experience or the high winds at Otto Air Port, telling her what was going on with everyone they knew.From Sero in K76, to Hikari, to other Ultra fighters, to be honest, sometimes that would make Sylvia feel a little better.

"...Well, anyway, when that boy Sai Luo can take charge of his own affairs and redeem his mistakes, he will probably come back. Maybe it will surprise you."

In fact, there is not much news about the boy on K76, but Sophie insisted on picking and choosing to tell the illusion of a serial blockbuster.However, his good intentions failed to make the other party show any different expressions, but turned his head slightly to look at him, calm and indifferent as usual.

——What are you thinking, Sylvia?

It seemed that with the departure of Sai Luo, all the supporting strength had been lost. Except for the slight brilliance in Hikari's eyes when he came back to join the Space Guard, the eyes had always been shrouded in an impenetrable mist.Sophie couldn't help sighing in her heart, thinking of the other side of the bastard who was also not having a very easy life, she was both uneasy and helpless.

They sat together for a while longer, until the patter of rain finally died down and the holographic image once again simulated the clear blue sky of the earth.The eldest brother finally put away the umbrella, stood up slowly, and stretched out his hand towards Sylvia.

"Let's go," he said in the most gentle tone: "Today is the day for you to go to Silver Cross for a follow-up visit, and I will send you there."

"……it is good."

The only thing that can comfort Sophie now is that she never shy away from seeking medical treatment.I also understand that my appearance is definitely far from "normal". Although I don't have hope for the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, even if it is for the sake of my elder brother to worry less, Sylvia will not sing against him at this time.

However, having said that, is her condition serious enough to require regular visits to a psychiatrist in the eyes of others?

Feeling that this was not a problem, Sylvia followed Sophie out of the experience hall and into the gate of the hospital, feeling a rare sense of long-lost confusion in her heart.

"Is she still like that?"

Seeing the back of the other party walking into the Silver Cross, Hikari, who had been waiting at the door for a while, walked out from behind the pillar, stood beside Sophie, and watched Sylvia disappear from sight together: "Even the news of Cyro cannot Let her react more?"

"Almost," the eldest brother nodded heavily: "Should I go to the universe prison next time and tell her about Beria's recent situation?"

"...Come on, you're not afraid that if you really provoke someone to something bad."

Couldn't help but rolled his eyes at his genius idea, Hikari waved his hand, with a rare and obvious worry on his face:

"Sylvia has always been good at fooling doctors. If she doesn't cooperate with us, we can't know what's going on with her now... So this time I specially found a hypnotist next door. No matter what, I have to find out what's going on in her mind first. What are you thinking?"

"Hope it works."

Although I always feel that scientists may be beaten if they engage in such a high probability, there is no better way until now.Sophie sighed again, thinking of the pile of official duties in the office that had been delayed because of worrying about her childhood, her chest suddenly ached even more.

"Would you like to go to the headquarters and help me with the documents, Hikari?"

"Let's go, don't send it."

"...Ah, how ruthless."

----

"You have to understand that you shouldn't live for others, Sylvia-san."

When he walked out of the gate of the Silver Cross with the doctor's advice, Sylvia looked at the bright and bright plasma sparks above his head, and couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment.

This time the doctor was obviously extraordinary, he used hypnosis to get some terrible words out of his mouth, so that even if he covered it up, it was easy to see the residual shock and pity on his face.But the specific result needs to be further analyzed, and she can only wait now, but judging from the last sentence of the other party, it is estimated that the situation is not very optimistic.

Living should not be for others.

Everyone would say the truth, Sylvia sneered.It's just that when she lived for herself, the result was even more bleak and hurt more. Instead of repeating such painful mistakes, she would rather live as others expected. When it is needed, it is not so insignificant that no one will mind even if it disappears.

I couldn't help but think of the boy who should be working hard on the K76 now.Sylvia stood there for a while, thought for a while, and decided to go to Sophie to settle the score, quietly get someone to come over to hypnotize her, is it because she wants to die?

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is not a problem.With a cold face, she started to walk on the road leading to the headquarters of the security force, but before she reached halfway, she suddenly heard the siren of the plasma spark tower resounding across the sky, and the faint noise of melee in the distance.

……what happened?Enemy attack?

But who has such a great ability to break into the plasma spark tower under the heavy siege of the space guard? !

Something flashed past his head, and it took him a long time to realize that it seemed to be Mebius who had been thrown from the Spark Tower.Sylvia lowered her face, and was about to fly towards the place where the melee was fought, when a very bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart, and she sent a sharp warning to her instinct.

She seemed to have sensed something, suddenly stopped in her tracks, and looked up.

Just in time, I saw the figure that had appeared in nightmares countless times, holding a fighting instrument and the plasma spark energy core that he had snatched, and brushed past him.And behind him, the piercing coldness and coldness surged over the sky, bringing the sky full of wind and snow and raging towards the entire Kingdom of Light. In the blink of an eye, this piece of prosperity full of light was turned into a icy hell.

But that was far less than the shock of seeing this person again after so many years.

"Be... Leah."

Her eyes widened in disbelief, and she was almost lost in the sharp cold that spread rapidly.

And Beria just glanced at her lightly.Facing his only student, the existence with the most similar soul base in the universe, a mocking sarcasm appeared in his eyes.

"You don't even know how to live, Sylvia?"

He smiled contemptuously, and then walked away, leaving only an afterimage in the air: "After all these years, you still haven't made any progress."

"..."

It was like a knife that finally pierced into the deepest part of my heart.And before Sylvia tasted the severe pain spreading in her blood and bones, the coldness that hit her face froze her under the solid ice, and she fell into boundless silence along with the entire Kingdom of Light.

The world was instantly plunged into eternal darkness.

Can't escape, can't break free.
