Chapter 2073 The World After Death: Rebellion Against the God Who Bestowed a Tragic Fate Upon Him in Life
Su Yunqing knew about Li Huazhao's fate and also about her heart condition.
After seeing her say that, he immediately packaged a portion of his energy into a red envelope and sent it over.
Almost simultaneously with the appearance of the red envelope, the other members in the chat group also quickly realized what was happening and became curious.
The richest man in the city: "So the newcomer's problem is congenital heart disease? Or some kind of sudden heart-related illness?"
The richest man in the lighthouse said: "However, judging from her reaction, her pain threshold seems to be very high, and her emotional expression is also very calm. Is it numbness caused by long-term illness, or is it due to her personality?"
Tony stroked his chin, somewhat puzzled by Tachibana Kanade's reaction.
Even if a patient has a congenital condition and is used to it, would they speak with such calmness?
Human-Headed Dog and True: "Maybe it has a 'three-no' attribute?"
Kazuma Sato guessed based on his extensive experience.
The so-called "three no's" refers to "no mouth, no heart, and no expression." That's how girls react; even if the sky falls, they might just blink.
An ordinary group owner: "It is indeed a three-no attribute."
An ordinary group admin said: "But describing her as an 'angel' is more fitting, although she never admits to that title herself."
Seemingly finding it too troublesome to explain, and also to allow the group members to understand the new member more intuitively, Su Yunqing took the most direct approach.
"Ding! The group owner has uploaded a memory copy."
An ordinary group owner: "Angel Beats!", the story of Tachibana Kanade, is also a story that takes place in the afterlife.
An ordinary group admin said, "But now that she's joined the chat group, her fate has changed, and she won't die."
Chat groups don't let their members die, even if there's a so-called afterlife.
After the memory copy was uploaded, the group was quiet for a moment, as most members were clearly eager to click on it.
Meanwhile, in the cold hospital ward.
Kanade Tachibana's vision was somewhat blurred, and the pain made her consciousness sometimes clear and sometimes scattered.
But Su Yunqing's words still managed to penetrate the barrier of pain and enter her sluggish mind.
cure?
She didn't know exactly what "the power of the group owner" meant, but subconsciously, she had the idea of "claiming" the red envelope.
"Ding, group member [Li Hua Kanade] has received a red envelope."
In an instant, a warm current enveloped her, and Tachibana Kanade couldn't help but let out a soft groan.
The excruciating pain that nearly tore her consciousness apart receded at an incredible speed.
A long-lost sense of ease, one that she had never truly experienced in her life, spread from her heart and flowed to every part of her body.
And this is just the beginning.
Just as she was slightly distracted by the sudden comfort, the light in front of her changed.
A sacred and holy radiance shone brightly before her sickbed.
Like living fireflies, they outlined a hazy yet beautiful silhouette.
It was a female figure with wings on her back, a slender figure, and a face shrouded in light, hovering about a foot above the ground, looking at her with affection on the sickbed.
Is it an angel?
Tachibana Kanade's scattered consciousness was briefly pulled back by this extraordinary sight.
Her deep blue eyes widened slightly, reflecting the holy light.
Long-term illness and emotional deprivation have made her sluggish to most stimuli, but the dreamlike yet incredibly real scene before her stirred a slight ripple in her heart.
Are you here to guide me?
As Tachibana Kanade thought this, she even forgot that her heart no longer hurt.
Under her unwavering gaze, the angelic phantom slightly raised its arm, which seemed to be made of light, and stroked her head.
Tiny specks of light, like fine golden dust, seeped into her thin hospital gown and blended into her skin.
Where the light particles fell, a comfortable warmth emanated, as if parched land had been nourished by sweet rain; Tachibana Kanade subconsciously looked down, watching the light points merge into his body and disappear.
She even raised one hand, with adhesive tape and an IV needle still attached to the back of her hand. A few specks of light landed on it, causing a slight itch that quickly dissipated. The pale skin on the back of her hand, which had been exposed to IV fluids for a long time, seemed to regain a touch of color.
Only then did a belated sense of unease wash over her like a tidal wave.
wrong.
My heart no longer hurts, and I even feel a sense of fullness coming from deep within my chest.
One stroke after another, steady and full of vitality.
She finally realized what was happening and raised her other hand, which wasn't receiving an IV drip, and hesitantly pressed it against her left chest.
Through the thin fabric, she could feel the vigorous throbbing in her palm; her heart was beating at a speed she had never seen before.
She pressed her hand against her chest with slightly more force, as if trying to confirm the authenticity of the sensation.
Then he raised his head and looked at the angel's phantom again.
Was it an angel? An angel, who healed her?
Tachibana opened his mouth as if to say something, but the angel's phantom seemed to have completed its mission, began to thin, and finally turned into specks of firefly-like light, dissipating into the air.
The ward was restored to its original lighting, with only the sound of medical equipment.
But everything is different now.
Kanade Tachibana remained seated on the hospital bed, her hand still on her chest. She slowly turned her gaze to her surroundings, and everything was exactly the same as it had been a few minutes earlier.
Except for herself.
Except for this brand new heart beating in her chest.
The pain disappeared, and the weakness faded.
A strange sensation was flowing from the blood pumped from her heart to her fingertips, her limbs, and every corner of her body.
She looked at the chat group screen.
Was the angel we just saw the power of the group leader?
So, she followed her gut feeling and typed a message in the chat group.
Li Hua said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Tachibana said, "Thank you."
Tachibana Kanade: "Angel. Very beautiful."
An ordinary group admin: "Is it all done? That's good."
The ordinary group owner said: "By the way, I added a little extra energy to it. In addition to curing heart disease, it also replenished your body with nutrients and helped to regulate it a bit."
The ordinary group admin said: "However, considering that you have been bedridden for a long time and your physical functions are relatively weak, I am letting the energy be released slowly to gradually improve your physical condition."
An ordinary group admin said: "Although you will only be slightly healthier and stronger than the average person in the end, that should be enough for you now."
Su Yunqing said this after seeing Li Huazhao's words.
Heart disease is the root cause of the problem, but Tachibana Kanade's body, which has been weakened by long-term illness, is also frail.
She took this into account, and instead of injecting a large amount of energy at once, she set up a gentle, slow-release process so that Kanade Tachibana's body could gradually absorb and adapt, eventually reaching a level slightly better than that of an average person.
Tachibana Kanade looked at Su Yunqing's message. Although she didn't know how she made the energy release slowly, she only needed to look at the last part.
Not only has her health improved, but it will continue to improve over time, allowing her to live like an ordinary person.
Live like an ordinary person?
An imperceptible ripple spread across the lake of her heart.
Like a seed that has been dormant in darkness for a long time, it suddenly sensed the loosening of the soil above and a warmth from an unknown source, and instinctively trembled.
She knew that some things had changed from this day forward.
Not just her heart, her body, and perhaps even her future, which she could see the end of at a glance.
Meanwhile, everyone in the chat group had finished watching the memory arc of "Angel Beats!", and each of them was filled with mixed emotions.
Boil Daigo into soup: "The afterlife."
Boiling Daigo into soup: "I would say it's full of regrets, all sorts of regrets."
After reading it, Daigo had mixed feelings and didn't know how to describe them accurately.
If I had to use one word to describe it, it would definitely be "regret".
The setting of that world itself is imbued with a deep sense of regret.
Those who failed to fully enjoy their youth in life arrive in the afterlife with resentment, regret, and unfulfilled wishes, regaining "life" with a youthful appearance, only to face the fate of "relief and then disappearance."
This is a paradox in itself regarding "making amends" and "letting go".
Kasumi Shiko: "A stage that gives a 'second chance,' yet ends with 'forgetting' and 'disappearing.' It's a cruel yet tender setting."
Xia Shizi: "Those rebellious children were not so much rebelling against 'God' or 'angels,' but rather against their own lives filled with regrets, as if they had been mocked by fate, and against the feeling of being 'forced to let go' and 'forced to forget.'"
Xia Shizi: "And Zou is the loneliest gravedigger, no, or rather, the most clumsy guide."
Kasumigaoka Utaha also remarked with deep feeling.
Each member of SSS has a poignant life story behind them.
Hideki Hinata's baseball dream abruptly ended, Yui's longing for a normal girl's life and the cruel reality of her physical disability, Noda's seemingly reckless but actually obsessive pursuit of "strength," and Takamatsu's distorted understanding of "ordinary."
Their resistance was a cry against their unjust fate and a testament to their own worth.
Ogiso Setsuna: "Kanade-chan, she's always been doing those things all by herself, quietly."
Ogiso Setsuna: "So that those who didn't get to enjoy their youth can make up for their regrets here and leave with a smile, she has to pretend to be a cold 'angel' and be misunderstood and attacked by everyone."
Ogiso Setsuna: "She didn't even know she liked Mapo Tofu. It wasn't until the very end that she was finally able to say thank you to Otonashi-kun."
Ogiso Setsuna's voice was choked with emotion; she was very empathetic.
Especially when I think of the ending, the scene of Tachibana Kanade disappearing in Otonashi Yuzuru's arms, my heart aches even more.
The girl who hesitated to repay a debt of gratitude, but ultimately lost sight of her own true feelings, her loneliness and sacrifices are heartbreaking.
The richest man in the lighthouse said: "That little girl named Yuri has good leadership skills, but unfortunately she used them in the wrong direction; and that stupid muscle man. But the most impressive one is definitely the newcomer who always looks calm but does the gentlest things."
The richest man in the lighthouse said: "No wonder you, the group owner, called her an angel."
The richest man in the lighthouse: "She doesn't have to go through all that now, right, group admin?"
Tony then steered the conversation to the present.
Kazuma: "Ahhh, although the beginning was very funny, especially the part where they tried everything to make Kanade fail the exam, the ending was so tear-jerking."
Kazuma Sato seems to still be immersed in the emotions of the story.
Kazuma and the human-headed dog: "But at least now the group leader has saved Kanade, so she doesn't have to go to that afterlife anymore, and she doesn't have to disappear. She can live a good life now."
Everyone's "life before death" is full of regrets. The struggle and reconciliation in the "afterlife" is a way to make up for those regrets and also a final farewell to them.
As for Hana Kanade, as a witness and promoter of all this, her biggest regret was resolved, but it also disappeared along with her benefactor's relief.
For the work, this ending is a bittersweet fulfillment, but for reality, it is simply a regret.
Fortunately, the person who joined the chat group was the same Tachibana Kanade from before her death, and she has now been healed and restored to health thanks to the group leader's power.
In the future, she will be able to enjoy the life of an ordinary person.
An ordinary group owner said, "I've restored everything, so there's no need to go to the afterlife."
An ordinary group admin said: "She will have a completely new life of her own."
Su Yunqing said with a smile on her lips.
The purpose of chat groups is to change the fate of each member who joins them.
No longer will I have to suffer from illness, no longer will I have to wander alone between life and death for an obsession, no longer will I have to experience those misunderstandings, battles and final farewells.
She can live a healthy, ordinary life, experience real life, feel the changing seasons, taste delicious food, make friends, and create her own unforgettable youthful memories.
As for Yuzuru Otonashi in the afterlife, his unfinished "thank you" and hug may be answered in another way.
Or perhaps, as fate changes, that obsession itself will quietly dissipate, transforming into a warm star in the long river of life.
While Tachibana Kanade, lying in her hospital bed, couldn't perceive in real time the group members' lamentations about her original future, she could sense the emotions surging within the chat group.
Those unfamiliar names developed such feelings for her because of a story about "her".
A strange feeling.
Her hand gently pressed against her steadily beating heart, her azure eyes gazing out the window; the sky seemed to brighten a bit, with glimmers of light filtering through the thick clouds.
What will the future be like?
This word, which for her was once so brief that its end could be foreseen, but now suddenly became long and unknown, was presented to her in such a real way for the first time.
She didn't know the answer.
But at least, the heart that was beating strongly again, and the chat group in her mind that connected her with countless acts of kindness, made her feel for the first time that thinking about the "future" was no longer a meaningless or even frightening thing.
