I'm The One Who Died, But The Hero Went Crazy

as the hero's comrade, i died after blocking him from the evil dragon's breath. well, it's fine. the hero elkinas was the only friend i trusted to have my back. i'll go out with a bang, i guess, so the hero can marry a pretty woman and live the rest of his life.…is what i thought would happen, but after 80 years passed, i came back to life in a completely different body. and…“it’s regrettable, arlene. elkinas went insane. completely insane.”that was the first thing i heard.*what else could i do? i should help him. to help my close friend who seems to have not been able to accept my death, i decided to stay by his side while hiding my identity.this way elkinas could completely accept the past and become happy, since this is the very reason why i died for him.but… i think he recognized me.”you're… arlene, aren't you?”i touched my face. i definitely don't look like arlene.shouldn't there be no way he could know who i was?”i won't ever let you go… ever.”elkinas said with shining eyes.
