[Putting the notebook on your lap, you first called Chiju Kazumi. As you expected, Chiju Kazumi was also out of contact. She and Asano Nao had been planning this day for a long time.]
[Putting down your phone, you clicked on the document in the folder. ]
[At noon, the autumn sun, which has lost its warmth, shines on you, bringing no warmth. You draw the curtains in the living room, sit in the shadow cast by the curtains, and read this final volume.]
["NEET" has now been released to the fifth volume, and the plot has developed to the point before the competition of the female lead band based on you.]
[This final volume does not follow up on the game, and contains separate scenes with no connection in between.]
[The first scene is your graduation. Your juniors and seniors from school are waiting at the door of the auditorium, giving you flowers and blessings. You thank them with a smile and return to the Asano family.]
[The second scene is you facing your parents. With your help, Asano Nao successfully met them.]
[The third scene is your inauguration celebration party. You can bring your family members to the celebration party, but Nao Asano is not with you. When you return home from the party, Nao Asano apologizes to you.]
[The fourth scene is your wedding. In order not to upset Nao Asano, you chose a simple ceremony to invite only relatives and friends.]
[You flip through the scenes and discover a constant theme—you are always helping Asano Nao, and Asano Nao is always apologizing to you. Your consideration becomes more extensive, and her apology becomes deeper.]
[This is indeed the future of the last Sims.]
[You no longer read carefully, and you just glanced at the rest of the text. The development of the story surprised you. In one of the scenes, Asano Nao even wrote that you had not attended social gatherings with your colleagues for a long time, so you planned to invite your colleagues to your home and entertain them with Asano Nao.]
[Except for the differences in details, the story in this scene is exactly the same as your previous experience in the Sims. At the end of the reception, Asano Nao couldn't bear the mental torture and hid in a corner crying. You found her and decided to resign. ]
[Her writing is close to prophecy.]
[Then comes the last scene, in which you and she are both in their twilight years, lying on the floor with a burning charcoal basin in a room with the doors and windows closed.]
Memory scenes emerge.
Nan Youxi sat on the sofa. The sun was blocked by thick clouds, and the comforting sunlight became even dimmer. The door was not closed, and the cold wind blew in from that side. His hands and feet were cold from sitting still for a long time.
He looked at the laptop screen.
The novel is written in the first person, "I" represents Nao Asano and "she" represents Minami Yuki.
"My eyelids became heavier. The sunlight outside the window was very strong. The sun seemed to be approaching, and the dazzling light gradually filled the entire room. I turned my head to the right. I should have turned to the right. My brain was already dizzy and my eyes could not see the scene clearly."
"In the dazzling light and shadow, I saw her face. Her eyes were closed, her lips were open, and the traces of time on her face became blurred at the boundary between life and death. The wrinkles slowly faded, and the blood returned to her cheeks. The gray hair fell off, revealing thick black hair like raven feathers."
"She returned to the time when she was sixteen, to the time when she met me. She opened her dark, shiny eyes and looked at me with a smile."
""Hurry up and get up!" She called me with a pure, cheerful voice that was so smooth that sorrow could never stick to it. She put her face, which was shining with youthful vitality and cunning, in front of me."
"I looked into her dark eyes and saw me reflected in them - an old man lying on the worn floor, dying."
"I was shocked by the ugliness of the skinny, wrinkled old man. The heavy death in his eyes made me shudder. I thought of the rats I saw when I was a child, run over by cars on country roads. The rats' bodies were flat, with gray flesh all over the ground, but their flesh-colored tails were still full and curved in a terrifying arc on the ground."
"I was frightened by this endless terror. My eyes seemed to be clamped by tweezers and could not be moved away. I saw the reflection in the old man's cloudy eyes. It was the girl in front of me at this moment."
"Don't look at me!" I gathered my strength and pushed the girl in front of me hard.
"I pushed in vain. The girl didn't exist. I didn't even stretch out my arm. What I held in my hand was her gray, old hand. What lay beside me was her body that had decayed along with mine. This house has long since turned into a huge tombstone. If the girl steps into it, she will inevitably become a mummy in the tomb."
"Tears streamed from the corners of my eyes, and I let out one last howl toward the window."
Click the touchpad and the document will no longer scroll forward. That's the end.
[The notebook slipped from your legs. You stared blankly ahead, covering your cold face with your hands. Asano Nao's words made you clearly aware of her inner despair, her love for you, and her hatred for herself.]
[She left you because she didn't want you to rot with her in the Asano family.]
On the sofa, Minami Yuki covered his forehead and sat up without knowing when. His mind was captured by Asano Nao's words and he could not move for a long time.
Until a thud was heard beside him.
He looked over there and saw the real Nao Asano frantically picking up the books that had fallen on the ground and blocking the camera in the cabinet.
He suddenly felt an urge to run forward and hug Nao Asano in front of him with his strong arms.
He did so, and in the middle of the action he realized that the hug turned into a face rub: "We have caught the criminal red-handed, what else do you have to say, sister?"
Nao Asano couldn't struggle free, so she could only whimper, close her eyes and let Minami Yuki do whatever she wanted.
Nan Youxi looked at her face with her eyes closed. He was still mentally immersed in the simulation and his heart was surging.
"I want to have some snacks. Sister, please make them for me." Nan Youxi stopped and said.
Asano Nao hurried into the kitchen as if she had been pardoned.
Nan Youxi looked at her back, rubbed his forehead and sighed.
He needs to calm down.
Sitting back on the sofa, he thought that in The Sims, Nao Asano left because of him.
This overly sensitive woman accurately grasped her future with Minami Youxi, and frightened by this future, she decided to leave.
She believed in Nan Youxi, and because of that belief, she knew that this future was inevitable.
In the previous simulation, Minami Yuki chose to join the NEET tribe, so Asano Nao could bear the future of them rotting together, but in this simulation, he is a student at Misaki University of Arts and a promising performer, so Asano Nao is unwilling to drag him into a rotten coffin.
Minami Yuxi continued to look at the simulation panel. What surprised him was that even though he and Asano Nao had already separated, the simulation had not ended yet.
It took me a long time to choose the words, sorry for being a few minutes late
