The dark sky hung low.

"Followed by bright stars..."

"Do you remember? This is the song you sang to me when we first met."

"Back then, I was weak, helpless, and filled with fear of everything around me."

"You took my hand and led me out of the darkness step by step."

“From that time on, a shadow was left in my heart, a pink shadow.”

"And the owner of that shadow is you, Alicia."

“When I was little, I was afraid of the dark, and you would hold me in your arms at night and sing me lullabies.”

“When I was little, I was afraid of pain, so you would wrap soft sponges around the places in the house that were prone to bumps and bruises.”

“I was afraid of being abandoned, and you patiently kept saying, ‘Xiaoling, you are my darling.’”

Even today, I still remember every little detail of our lives, and I still remember those joyful times.

“I like to say to you when I come home, ‘Alice, I’m home.’ And you’ll reply, ‘Ling, welcome home.’”

"How I wish I could say those words to you one more time."

"It's such a shame, Alicia, that I can no longer say welcome home to you."

"If I could, I'd like to hear it one more time, just one more time, to hear you call my name, call me..."

"Xiao Ling."

"...Finally, I want to say..."

Alicia, welcome home.
