The black night gradually lifted its thin veil that shrouded the earth, and a pale glow began to emerge on the horizon.

Jannat’s mother lay in bed, holding Jannat in her arms, soundly asleep. Jannat’s father lay on the other side, just as he used to, sleeping peacefully with steady breaths.

Quietly, Jannat climbed out of bed. She cast a lingering gaze at her parents and whispered, “Mom, Dad, I’m leaving. Be happy, okay?”

Taking three steps back, Jannat silently collected the cake wrapper and garbage in the living room, struggling to carry it as she floated away.

The door opened without a sound, and Lilly was already waiting outside, while Josh immediately took the garbage from Jannat’s hands.

Jannat glanced back, her eyes filled with fondness.

Her once clean and warm home was now a place she would never return to.

“Let’s go!” Lilly held Jannat’s hand.

Though there is a boundless attachment in this world, parting is inevitable, causing sorrow deep within.

At the nearest crossroads from home, Jannat, dressed in a beautiful little dress, stood by the roadside, waving with a smile to Lilly and Josh.

“Goodbye, Josh. Goodbye, Lilly. Goodbye, Uncles! Thank you!”

“Don’t forget to go check on Miah for me!”

She had no regrets!

Before one’s death, it seems there are still many things left undone, many things left unresolved.

But after death, it seems that only one thing, the most important thing to oneself, remains.

Now that Jannat had fulfilled her wish, she no longer lingered in the mortal world as a resentful spirit. She could depart with a heart full of contentment.

It was the first time Josh sent off a resentful spirit, and he felt a sense of sadness and reflection that he had never experienced before. He said, “Goodbye, never to meet again. I hope you have a smooth rebirth.”

Unable to contain her laughter, Jannat turned around and skipped away, eventually disappearing from everyone’s sight.
