Dear Allen,

Are you ok?

I haven't been able to reach the sea yet, but I've found "Burning Land", not your "Water of Fire", but you'll love it.

It looked red from a distance, and one could even see the slight fluctuations of the flames, endless as if there was no end, but all of this looked extremely beautiful, a scenery that humans could never imagine.

Are you already wondering what's going on, you seem to enjoy guessing, but now I'm going to reveal the answer.

—It’s a tree.

Trees with fiery red leaves, I never thought that the leaves could grow into this color, they are as bright as blood, slowly shaking on the branches by the wind, falling one by two, as if it was raining, turning the ground Also dyed red.

This is an unclaimed land, so I, the first discoverer, decided to call it "Hephaistos", the god of earth and fire.

Maybe you could come up with a better name if you were around, kid always has boundless energy and creativity.

Alan, I dreamed of you last night. You were lying on my bedside and chatting with me, talking about many, many things you wanted to do, about the past and the future. You laughed happily. I had the same dream before. At that time, you were a little lonely because I refused to say I missed you, but was it because I said I missed you the first time I saw you?You have been happy from beginning to end. Does this prove that you have been liberated from pain?

But I still can’t seem to do it. After waking up from the dream, I can’t sleep anymore. I miss you like crazy. From the first time we met to the moment I lost you, I kept repeating, trying to find relief, but I failed. , I am still in pain, but this is not bad, at least I am very happy to see you again.

So whenever you miss me, just come to me, I will wait for you.

By the way, I met people who came out to look for me on the way forward, and I threw them away. Maybe you will say that this will make them difficult, but I still have urgent things to do, and I still have to go to the endless Zhihai, there is your dream, now only I can help you realize it, so don't look angry when we meet next time.

Finally, haven't you left yet?Is it still on this land?I haven't gotten used to it yet, so wait, wait, wait.

Thank you Ellen, I love you.

Dear Allen,

Are you ok?

I found that your face in my dream became more and more blurred, you smiled at me, you called my name, your voice and everything I remember very clearly, but once you appeared in the dream, your The appearance is painted with a layer of gray paint.Although as soon as I wake up, I will think of you again, eyes, nose, lips, all of you, but I can't help worrying, maybe in another year, in another ten years, not only in a dream, even if I wake up I will never remember your face again. After 50 years, maybe someone mentions your name again, and I will think for a long time before I can remember it.

I have no intention of forgetting at all, but I have a faint feeling that in the future far from now, time will take you away from my memory again.

I don't know what to do, but right now, at least not yet.

Alan, I will probably be there tomorrow. In the endless sea, I can already hear the sound of the waves, as if the air is fishy and salty.There must really be a lake of salt there, a real treasure.Maybe human beings will come to plunder it in the near future, but fortunately it is still early, and it can still be extremely pure.

I plan to keep going tonight, so that I can see the first rays of sunshine tomorrow. Although I know its temperature will not burn the skin, but will it be very hot, will it be like the summer you died in?Fortunately, it is winter now. Although the winter here is not cold, it will never be so hot.

I've been having the same dream all summer this year about your death, the moment you left.I would suffer from insomnia when I heard the chirping of cicadas, and my eyes would turn red as long as I closed my eyes, but fortunately, I gradually got used to this kind of life alone. Is this a good thing after all?

But don't worry Alan, as long as I think of you, I still suffer so much.

You should go to bed, Ellen, see you tomorrow.

I love you.

Dear Allen,

Are you ok?

It was warm, and the sun shone from where the sea met the sky, dazzling and moving.You can never imagine what kind of scene this is. The color of the sky and the sea are exactly the same. If you don’t pay attention, you can’t tell them apart. If the sea is quiet, it’s like the sky on both sides, and you can step on the sky.

Did you see that, Alan.

This is the freedom you want, and now I'm going to take it and place it in your hands.

Ellen, I love you.

The whole world loves only you.

Levi, on December 857, 12, in the Great Sea

……

Dear Allen,

Are you ok?

I stayed in the Endless Sea, this is what I agreed with you.I don’t know how to describe it, it’s like losing again, from the speed at that time to the slowness now, even though the flow of time is different, they are the same, I feel the memory is fading, even the scene when you died Both started to fade.

I felt a fear like my blood was being drained from my whole body. I tried to fight it, but it didn't work.

Thinking back every morning, from the first time we met, then slowly getting to know each other, falling in love, and parting, recalling them every minute and every second, until the evening.But I still found that the time for me to escape from the memory became earlier and earlier, and many things began to be lost continuously. I tried my best to stop them, but they still slipped through my fingers.

I can still think of your smiling face now, but will it disappear the same way?

No.

Absolutely not.

Ellen, I love you.

I still love you.

Levi, on December 859, 2, in the Great Sea

…Dear Allen,

Are you ok?

Today is your birthday, so I tried to make a cake, even though I practiced many times, it still didn't look good.

I lit the candle at night, and then opened the window, through which I could see the sea water outside, the fire would float when the wind blows in, shaking from side to side like the smile you left for me.

But I don't know why, that smiling face is always a little blurry.

It's because it's at night, right?

is that right?

Yes, that's it, and then when you wake up tomorrow, you'll be clear again.
