Theres no need for proof. Even if no one wants to admit it, even if they say crazy things in order for you to prove yourself, dont listen to them. Its all useless bullshit. You were already born a human. Dont you ever deny that first.

Lil laughed while crying.

Her face, painted with both joy and sorrow, looked up to see Ed right there in front of her. She was looking at the face of a man who had become familiar to her, but his looming presence was even greater now.

Whenever she saw Ed, her heart fluttered strangely and it uplifted her mood.

He always made me feel the vivid wind. Even now, I feel like Im brought somewhere distant due to the cool flow caressing me. Eds the kind of wind that knows my direction, even if I dont, and blows me there easily. His clumsiness and roughness confuse me at times, but through him, I was never off course

Edgar.

Ed, who continued to smooth the back of her hand using his, raised his head in a flash. Lil muttered as she looked at the back of his hand wrapping hers.

Perhaps I do want to be happy

Its funny now that I admit it. The word happy is concise and easy to pronounce, but still, Im not used to expressing any greed or acknowledging my emotions I had only been ashamed of them

Lils lips trembled because of her small laughter, but she managed to suppress her equally trembling throat and confessed unwaveringly.

Like you said, Im a human. And because of that, I guess I want to love like a human.

It was a confession that no one expected and no one intervened in, but it lingered in their ears like an auditory hallucination. It was clearly her own voice, but it sounded strangely sweet.

Ed stood blankly, either due to confusion or shock. That was why Lil hesitantly approached him. In the short distance between them, her movements were gradual. She slowly put one foot in front of the other and walked forward and another step forward

I want to love you.

A face wearing an awkward expression came closer to her nose.

Lil laughed bashfully.

Having no experience in confessing love or knowing whether this was even the right moment to do it, her expression was not much different from Eds, but that didnt matter.

Turning serious again, Ed pursed his lips while pulling down Lils dress like a man whose patience was running out. Simultaneously, Lil reached her hands in the air, undid Eds cravat and unbuttoned his shirt. Their hands, picking at each others clothes, were as excited as their breathing and soon their removed shirt and dress fell off the bed.

Lil placed her palms on Eds moist torso and raised her fingertips against him to savour his exquisitely toned muscles. As she ran her hands around his thick rib cage and to his back, his well-defined curves wriggled to embrace her. Feeling Eds blunt bulk was satisfying.

Due to the rain even Lils innermost clothes were damp and clung coldly to her skin. So Ed nibbled on the tip of her breast which was now visible through her thin chemise.

Lil looked down and saw wet brown hair trailing down over her chemise but soon became distracted by the sensation of Eds hot breath spreading across her breasts and down to her abdomen. Lils body flinched due to her heightened sensitivity. With the hem of her skirt being rolled up her legs as his hands caressed her thigh, and with his lips still hovering over her lower abdomen, a small feeling of pleasure rushed into her stomach. Lil let out a drowsy breath and jerked her knees up.

When Ed lets out something similar to a sigh, Lil senses the heat.

Wait.

It seemed like he was muttering something, so Lil asked back reflexively.

Hmm?

No, wait.

Lil opened her languid eyes. After focusing them for a moment, she asked again to confirm if she had heard it right.

What?

We cant do this.

Lil, who pushed Eds shoulder and rolled him over, ended up on top, allowing her to look down at him. Seeing his embarrassed face puzzled Lil even more. She tried to guess the reason behind Eds sudden hesitation, but as she couldnt think of one, she blurted out whatever crossed her mind first.

Do you need to mentally prepare or something like that?

No.

Ed clutched his forehead as if he had heard something terrible.
