The hospital room was filled with light when Happy awoke.
The morning sun poured in, gentle and golden—just the way she liked it. Nurses moved around her with joy on their faces, whispering words like miracle, recovery, hope. But all she wanted to hear was one name.
“Where’s Smile?” she asked, her voice still fragile.
No one gave her a clear answer.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxWilEzGVg
Some looked down.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW1ozo6Chn
Some simply walked away.
A strange silence began to stretch over everything—thick, unnatural.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuM1ojFKyk
Her heart, though weak, beat faster than it should have.
The next day, when she had gained enough strength to stand, she returned to the one place she knew she might find him—his home.
She climbed the familiar stairs to the top floor, breathing in memories: shared laughter, late-night coffee, quiet talks under starlight. But when she opened the door, only Harbon and Fredge were there.
Harbon turned to see her—eyes red, fists clenched.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkdM9yhPuk
His voice cracked like something raw and broken inside him.
“You shouldn’t have come.”
Happy stepped back, confused. “Where is he? Where’s Smile?”
Harbon didn’t answer.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB1gDpAjGx
He just stormed out, pain radiating from every step.
It was Fredge who gently touched her shoulder and said,25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGYHDah8no
“Come with me.”
They didn’t speak on the way.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyc3yEp44T
She didn’t ask where they were going.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVco6bNEY6
She could already feel it.
They stopped at a quiet, wind-brushed hilltop—25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNSzrNxOwr
And there it was.
A freshly dug grave.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8FTmvcA0J
A simple stone.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZbadeemnK
No crowds. No flowers.
Just a name carved in silence:
Smile Joseph Millet.
Her legs gave out. She collapsed at his grave, hands shaking, heart stuttering—25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYmh9S1qHh
This wasn’t real.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI2xbG5KJm
This couldn’t be real.
Fredge sat beside her and pulled a small device from his pocket.
“He wanted you to see this,” he whispered, placing it gently in her lap.
Then he left.
Happy pressed play.
The screen flickered. His face appeared.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy3DvsgZBW
Older than she remembered.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQsflePp7V
More tired. But still him.
And he smiled.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb9jAqbZMQ
For the first time.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSZ87hFfWz
Only for her.
His voice was soft, almost trembling.
“If you're watching this... then I’m gone. I didn’t want it this way, but I knew… if I ever lost you, I wouldn't know how to survive again.”
“You gave me the only days in my life where I felt human. You saw me when the world only saw a shadow. You loved me even when I couldn’t love myself.”
The video cut for a moment, then resumed.
“I’m sorry I left. I just wanted you to know… you saved me. And this—”25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW5J5aD0Cp
He smiled, tears welling in his eyes,25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElYZ2yTwuC
“This is my first real smile. And it’s because of you.”
“Don’t cry for me, Happy. I’m not gone. I live in you now.”
“Thank you… for giving my life meaning.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc3FkhkTXT
Goodbye, Happy.”
The screen went black.
And Happy broke.
Tears streamed down her face, falling like rain on the grave of the boy who never smiled—until she came along. Her sobs echoed across the empty hill. Her heart, already fragile, felt like it couldn’t hold the pain.
But somewhere deep in her sorrow, she clutched the screen to her chest and whispered,
“You will never be gone. Not from me.”
And though the world lost Smile that day,25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nd6FlO8mm
Happy carried him forward—25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXraN3nFhC
in her breath, in her heartbeat,25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzUoz5GBYT
in every smile she gave to the world25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFYKvJUoZI
because of him.
