"I wasn't in Japan until I was almost 20 years old..."

"Oh, I see! So... which country did you live in before? What kind of movies did the kids there watch?"

On a whim, or perhaps to make up for a previous unintentional complaint, Shiho began to try to find a topic to talk about.

After thinking for a moment, he also handed over the popcorn he was holding.

"Hey, want some?"

"By the way, what brought you back this time?"

The popcorn bucket was held up in the air for a while.

Another burst of bright light appeared on the screen, just in time to see Gao Yuan politely wave his hand and gently push the popcorn bucket back.

"I mainly lived in England, and later went to Italy to be a magic apprentice. I also traveled to several countries with my teacher."

“When I was a child… my father was very strict. I never watched movies and didn’t know what other kids watched.”

"As for coming back..."

Gao Yuan's voice paused briefly amidst another explosion.

"It's because my mother passed away, and I came back to kill those who harmed her."

The children in the front row cheered again, this time even louder than before.

On screen, Gomera pins the demon Gomoras to the ground, beating him until he is unable to care for himself.

It wasn't until she heard the low, stern rebuke from the guy in front that Shiho suddenly realized what was happening.

"Oh, I'm sorry..."

So he killed for revenge!

Shiho thought to herself, having basically never paid attention to this kind of news.

“It’s alright,” Gao Yuan’s voice remained calm. “I thought everyone already knew.”

"It seems that arrogance is really undesirable."

"No, this is my problem!" Shiho said hurriedly.

Thinking about it carefully, if he had the chance to kill Gin... or even everyone in the organization, to avenge his sister, he definitely wouldn't hesitate.

"The difference between ordinary people and murderers is not actually about noble moral character, but about ability and courage."

"I am just an ordinary person who has neither..."

So what if she's a genius teenage scientist?

He was completely subservient to Gin and that dark organization, and didn't even know why his sister died.

There's nothing he can do but end his own life.

They couldn't even do that...

A sense of powerlessness welled up from the bottom of my heart, instantly engulfing my entire body like a chill.

Shiho slowly slid halfway down from her seat, curled up, and stared blankly at the monster on the screen, trembling.

I felt that familiar touch on my head again.

"No, miss, your greatest advantage is that you have already died once."

"Think about the power you've been given; it will make you the kind of person you aspire to be..."

Gao Yuan gently patted her head and said.

Yeah? ……

Shiho thought silently.

Could I... also avenge my loved ones like him?

If only we could really do that...

In her silence, a figure seemed to move about, walk to the seat next to her, and then sit down.

"I really miss it! When I was very young, I also loved watching Gomera."

The person next to her spoke in a very low voice, just enough for her to hear.

That voice left Shiho somewhat bewildered.

"Back then, I watched every single one of them. When the third one was released, I even asked my sister to go see it with me."

"Oh?" Shiho replied casually, her gaze seemingly glued to the screen, unable to look away no matter what she said.

Who is this person? Why did they only enter the theater when the movie was almost over?

And she even mentioned her sister...

"How old was your sister back then?" Shiho herself didn't know why she asked that question.

She could even sense Gao Yuan cautiously turning his head to sized up the uninvited guest on the other side.

But the person was probably a young woman, as she simply let out a soft laugh naturally.

“I remember she was 4 years old… 4 years and 3 months old, back then she listened to everything I said.”

"That one time, however, she didn't go to the movies with me..."
