Ah Dai softly called out, "Miss, how do you feel? Is there anything you want to say?"
Upon hearing Ah Dai’s voice, Tifya slowly turned her listless eyes towards him. When she saw Ah Dai’s face, her previously frail body seed to be infused with life once again. A flush spread across her face; her beautiful eyes brimd with spirit. Weak and trembling, she spoke, "Ah Dai... Ah Dai... brother, am I... dreaming? Am I... not... dead?"
Hearing Tifya’s words, Ah Dai recoiled in shock, exclaiming, "What... what did you call ? How do you know my na?"
Tifya spoke intermittently, like an abstract dream, "Ah.. Ah Dai... Is it... really... you? I am... so lucky...! Finally... I can see... you again. Don’t... you rember... ?... I, I am... the servant girl..."
Tifya’s words hit Ah Dai like a thunderbolt from a clear blue sky. He never imagined that the girl in front of him, her life hanging by a thread, was his childhood companion, the first person in his life more important than a stead bun - his childhood betrothed, the servant girl. With his body convulsing violently and tears streaming down his face, Ah Dai stamred, "You... are you the servant girl...? Are you really the servant girl?"
Tifya shuddered slightly, "Ah... Ah Dai... brother, it’s... ! I... am... the servant girl...! Do you... rember... the last ti... you left... Duru... City? You said... you... were Ah Dai... that’s when I... recognized... you. After so many years... you’ve learned... such... impressive... martial arts. The servant girl is... so... happy...! Ah... Dai... brother... I... missed... you... I missed... you... Why... did you... die... too? Are we... eting... in... hell?"
Ah Dai firmly griped Tifya’s dainty hand, murmuring in a daze, "No you’re not dead, servant girl. You’re not dead. Why... why have you beco like this? Tell , who did this to you?" His mind inevitably drifted back to the conversation between Tiro and Rong Rong, as if he was beginning to understand sothing.
The servant girl feebly said, "Ah... Ah Dai... brother... no one... Did this... to ... I... brought it... upon myself. Ah... Ah Dai... brother... I... regret... I regret... I regret passionately... leaving... you... If... if we... stayed... in Nino... City... We might... still... be together... living... happily... Even if... we can’t afford... food... or warm clothes... I wouldn’t mind! Ah Dai... brother... I really... wish... I wish... we could... go back... back... to those... childhood days... when we... fished... together." At these words, she started coughing violently and wave after wave of dark purple blood flowed from her mouth.
