Starting to think the quality of the story went downhill...

[One year later, on the town holiday, "Day of Night." Night's birthday which is in the Spring]

Yurei POV:

(Ria) "ACHOO! Ugu..."

(Axle) "Yeah... looks like we're not going either."

(Me) "Aw... Even Huang's sick. How are we supposed to give our respects properly?" I felt a hand on my shoulder.

(Rios) "No worries, we'll honor her our own way."

(Alice) "Yeah, nothing to worry about!"

(Cupa) "She's worrying about it because a skeleton killed Night..."

(Rios) "Guys..." He knows I'm depressed... you don't know how much I love him right now. Silk opened the room door.

(Silk) "Here you guys go. Lavender incense."

(Rios) "This is for Ria?"

(Silk) "No, incense is proper for respecting the dead." Proper?

(Me) "I'll take it."

(Silk) "What's up with her?"

(Cupa) "Come with me Silica." The two left the room.

(Ria) "*cough cough*" Axle felt her forehead.

(Axle) "*sigh* Fever... you guys should leave before you get sick too."

(Ria) "I wuv u..."

(Axle) "Yes we see that, thank you for keeping us informed, now try your-" We left before we could finish his sentence.

(Alice) "What a great husband. Oh now I want one too!"

(Rios) "Let's go to Night's grave." I was about to ask him about the incense but he said, "I have the flint and steel with me." before I could say a word.

After we, left Axle's house, we, minus Silk, walked to Night's grave in silence. As we got closer, it began to drizzle. It wasn't enough to drench us, but it was enough to make us feel, alone. I hugged Rios in attempt to get rid of the feeling, but it did not help. I'm starting to have this thought that we might be experiencing what Night might be feeling now.

(Me) "How much longer until we reach Night?"

(Rios) "A dozen more blocks to go. If you're sad tell me, I'll make you happy. I'm sure of it." I made no response. No one made a sound, except for their footsteps on the ground.

(Cupa) "That's the first; Alice did not awe over you two."

(Alice) "It's too depressing for me to do that." You can say that again.

(Rios) "We're here." So this is her grave. After one year, the grave was still intact and the slab was still clean. "Yurei, do you want to go first?" I nodded my head and stuck an incense stick into the ground.

(Me) "I'm sorry for whatever my kind did to you. I ask for your forgiv-"

(Alice) "We're supposed to honor her for what she did, not to say sorry."

(Me) "What am I supposed to say? One of us killed her! I must take responsibility!"

(Rios) "You shouldn't apologize for other's actions."

(Me) "But it is someone from my race who did it!" Rios placed his hands on my shoulders. Gripping tightly, he whispered his thoughtful words to me.

(Rios) "Look, you are not that damn bag of bones. Axle disassembled it after it shot her. If it were you, and you were still alive, I would not be holding you like I am right now. I will be grabbing you by the neck." Rios... "I love you how you are now. But if you keep thinking that whoever fired an arrow was your fault, then I would of consider you as more than one soul. How am I supposed to marry a woman who treats herself as two?" M-marry? "Or possibly one billion if you count all of the Skeletons in the world."

(Me) "Rios? A-are you p-proposing?" He smirked and got on one knee.

(Rios) "Yurei, will you..." He started patting his back pocket of his pants. "Oh no..."

(Cupa) "Looking for this?" She held up a beautiful gold ring. Is this my... ring? "You dropped it when Yurei hugged you."

(Rios) "Well... that went out of plan."

(Me) "Yes I will, you klutz." He stood up and I hugged him. I've never felt so happy in such a long time. "Oh wait. Rios, do you have the flint?"

I had my hands over his as he lit the incense.

(Me) "Night, sorry-

(Alice) "Ah-ah, watch what you are saying."

(Me) "Okay then, Night, thank you for watching over Rios, as much as you watched over Huang, and Axle, and Ria. I hope you are happy up in the Aether."

(Rios) "Geez, this is not a sermon..."

(Me) "I know, I'm just so happy to notice."

(Alice) "Hey Cupa, I have an idea!" After we saw Alice whispering in Cupa's ear, she nodded.

(Me and Rios) "Oh Notch!" Alice grabbed both of our arms and spun us so that we face each other. She pushed us together, forcing Rios to have his hands on my waist. Then she grabbed my hands and placed them on Rios' shoulders.

(Me) "T-this again?"

(Alice) "Was that a stutter? He proposed to you, and you accepted it. You shouldn't be embarrassed anymore!"

(Me) "Sorry... it's... just..." Rios leaned in and kissed me. I remembered this feeling, even if we last kissed months ago, and leaned into it.

(Cupa) "Do you still want the ring?" Rios released himself from the kiss and received the ring from Cupa. He took my left hand and he puts the ring on my ring finger.

(Alice) "Hurray! ... (T.T) Now I want a boyfriend..."

(Cupa) "Has anyone noticed that it stopped raining minutes ago?" Night, I can't thank you enough.
