Rebirth of the Ice Phoenix | The Waifu
Evalyn's eyes trembled when Kaze reiterated his goal was to make her immortal and live with her forever.
Despite his obvious flaws, he did love her, and she felt a similar spark.
She snuggled into his chest for a moment, carefree for the first time since the apocalypse began, wishing to savor it.
Kaze hugged her gently, embracing her without reservation.
"Kaze…." Evalyn whispered hesitantly, "The lie everyone's living in the faction walls... will end tomorrow, won't it?"
He looked at the ceiling and took a deep breath. "The day after next.
Tomorrow morning we'll have a strategy meeting with the new management members.
Then we'll break the news to the Lockheed students and release them.
We're telling the regular faction members the day after."
"Thought so." She replied, smiling wryly, "If that's the case… can I ask for something selfish?
Just for one day before life goes to hell?"
