Sarah didn’t seem surprised.
She swept everything off the table.
Her eyes were dark, like a vengeful spirit,
gritting her teeth,
“Michael, you dared to deceive me.”
Even I was afraid of her.
The next day, Sarah met Michael to transfer
the shares.
Michael had a new haircut and stylish suit.
He was knocked unconscious by Sarah.
He woke up in a basement.
Seeing whips and knives on the wall, I
shivered.
What was Sarah planning?
I witnessed a horrific scene.
Within an hour, Michael was covered in blood.
Half his ear was gone, his face was scarred, his body mutilated.
He passed out several times, only to be
revived with cold water.
Sarah was cold, her voice icy,
“Where is Gray? The next cut will take your
eye.”
Michael stared blankly, terrified.
He laughed hysterically,
“Sarah, you’re acting innocent! Gray is dead!
You smashed his ashes with your own
hands!”
Sarah’s eyes filled with bloodshot veins,
completely unhinged.

throat, screaming,
“You’re lying! You’re lying!”
After a while, seeing Michael’s body, Sarah
snapped back to reality.
She washed her hands, muttering,
“So dirty, Gray wouldn’t like this. I need to
clean up.
“”
Sarah went home, seeing the yellow dog.
She smiled,
“I forgot, I need to teach you your name. Gray won’t be mad then.”
Buster was smart, learning tricks quickly.
But this dog just stared at Sarah.
After the eighteenth attempt, Sarah’s
fingertip pierced her palm.
Regrets?
Sarah?
But our dog was gone forever.
So was I.
Sarah sat at home suppressing her rage
>
She didn’t eat.
The hospital called,
“Are you the baby’s parent? The baby’s
allergy was severe, his heart couldn’t handle
- it. He’s gone. Please come to collect his
body.”
She mechanically responded, focusing on one
word,
“Cremation.”
Then, she booked a flight abroad.
I watched the strong, assertive Sarah kneel
before the funeral home employee.
She grabbed his pants, weeping,
“Please, give me Gray back.”
The employee was confused,
“Ms. Johnson, we cremated Mr. Gray at sea,
as you requested…”
He produced a ring,
“I haven’t given you his belongings.”
く
Seeing the ring, Sarah wept.
Sarah returned home, building a cenotaph for
- me.
Watching her pale, heartbroken face, I felt
nothing.
It was too late.
As she mourned, the police arrived,
“Ms. Johnson, you’re suspected of murder-”
Sarah smiled sadly, taking a knife and
stabbing herself in the heart.
As she fell, she smiled,
“Gray, I’m coming.”
A pillar of light rose beneath me.
“Gray’s karmic debts are settled. He may be
reborn.”
I stepped into reincarnation without
hesitation.
