[English]

Don't know why

It rains every time i perform a task

My name is Lan

Weidu Assassin

This time goal

Is a kid named Cai Wenji

She actually saved me

She must not know who i am

This is an island

It seems that I can't leave here for a while

I junst found out that day

I was a person in the dark

A little light suddenly appeared now

And changed everything

I have seen many people fall in front of me

This is the first time I fell in front of the others

Nothing special

Just a little sleepy

But...

The rain seems to have stopped
