"...That's it for today's stream, good night everyone."

 

After a simple peace out to the audience, Uki ended today's live stream which lasted over five hours. The comments of the chat room have increased visibly. Uki scrolled through the chat and there were lots of comments which were appreciated for his stream.

       

 

After appreciating the chat for watching again, he closed the web page and ignored the subsequent notifications on YouTube.

       

Uki closed his eyes. His face looked gentle with the soft lights.

       

Oh yeah, there will be a four-day vacation then.

       

Uki took a deep breath in order to get rid of all the pressure. He enjoyed this short peace really much. It seemed like he was the only person who existed in the world, and even his mind could feel at ease.

       

The second hand ticked on the dial, and he couldn’t feel the loss of time at this period.

       

Uki felt an impulse to go out for a walk. He wanted to view this city that had been silent in the night, filled with silence, and no noise or movement anymore. In the middle of the night, people could see lights twinkling in the dark under streetlights.

       

He walked out of the house without thinking for a long time, and he didn't even decide on his destination. When he came to an intersection, he hesitated for a while and then walked towards the suburbs.

       

Either to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, or maybe just tired of the familiar urban areas and street view, he didn't want to delve into the reasons behind it. So he walked towards the suburbs directly.

       

Since he lived not far from the outskirts of the city, he quickly came to this rarely-traveled place. There were no high-rise buildings standing all over the place, replaced by some small and narrow houses.

       

The air he breathed in was particularly fresh. The breeze blew the branches with the fragrance of grass and soil. The tips of his purple hair fluttered slightly. The chill of the night seeped in from the edge of his sleeves, and he suddenly felt a chill.

     

When he headed up, he could see the stars embedded in the sky, dotted with the night sky that extends to the end. And there was a bright moon above the starry sky, like putting a silver veil on the city.

       

A meteor pierced the night sky out of the blue, and then fell into the other end of the sky, dragging a silvery trace. After a flash of light, it disappeared without a trace in an instant. He almost didn't realize the appearance of the meteor, but when he raised his eyes, he happened to hit this moment, as if to enter the bottom of his heart.

       

He would never forget the change in his life.

       

It was a long time ago. He could only remember that the stars which fell from the sky every thousands of years, fell into his eyes miraculously and gave him supernatural power. He also mentioned in the song that the starlight turned into a purple light, which brought him colors and dyed his world with these colors.

       

He was in a predicament at that time. His eyes were full of unwillingness and despair for the status quo, his tender little hands tightly clasped his delicate palm, and he bit his lower lip unconsciously, almost feeling like giving up. It was gloomy and hopeless, only the burst of pain was about to dissolve into the bone and blood, and all he could feel was the pain of tearing nerves.

       

Agonizing, numb, until he got used to the pain.

       

Uki groaned quietly and it’s muffled. He couldn't even focus on anything, and he tripped over something like a branch and fell to the ground.

     

 

The gravel cut through his skin, his blood dripped on the ground intermittently, and he was unable to go any further. The only thing that supported him to go on was the thought of being alive.

       

But now it seemed like he couldn't go on anymore.

       

So when the miracle came, he thought it was an illusion before dying.

Maybe it's just a dream, a beautiful dream that made him couldn’t wake up anymore.

       

When his eyes were filled with the dazzling light of the stars, he became convinced that all this was true, and the hope for survival also quietly appeared in his eyes. It was difficult for him to describe the feeling in words, but he just bent his knees and buried himself in his arms, hiding his emotions in a place that no one knew about.

       

When he cleaned and tidied up his broken self, he came to this world in this galaxy and met all his stargazers.

       

 

——I’ll give you back all the colors.
