"..."
He stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, let out a long sigh, and his tone was filled with endless emotion.
"What a...great God!"
...
Doraemon World
The open space was deathly silent.
When the truth behind Nobita's actions was revealed on the screen, and when she heard the words, "He finally lost her forever in the gentlest way," Shizuka Minamoto in reality could no longer suppress her emotions.
"..."
"Nobita..."
Large tears uncontrollably slid down her cheeks, which were always adorned with a smile.
She covered her mouth tightly with her hand, afraid that she would cry out loud.
"He went to such lengths for me?"
Looking at the boy beside her who was still staring blankly at the screen, she was overwhelmed by an unprecedented and immense surge of emotion.
"He...he got a zero on the test and went to such a bad school...not because he's stupid...but because of me?"
"He silently tutored me, predicted exam questions, and paved the way for me. Then... he went alone... in the completely opposite, loneliest direction?"
She recalled how, over the years, although Nobita was always clumsy, he always helped her in various ways when she needed him most.
She always thought it was just ordinary concern between friends, but she never imagined that behind that seemingly ordinary concern lay such a profound, sorrowful, and great sacrifice.
At that moment, she felt her heart ache so much that she could hardly breathe.
Even after entering high school, Nobita's situation showed no improvement.
No, it should be said that things have worsened. His periods of lucidity are getting shorter and shorter, and sometimes he even suddenly falls into a deep "sleep" during class. This is because his brain is undergoing a crucial information integration process, the danger of which is no less than that of heart bypass surgery.
[Nicknames like "good-for-nothing," "sleepyhead," and "idiot" were all used to describe Nobita, but he didn't seem to care at all.]
The opinions of ordinary people were like distant winds to him; he was immersed in his own world, fighting against his destiny. Everything outside was merely negligible background noise as this grand tragedy unfolded.
However, Shizuka Minamoto continued to treat him the same as before, still protecting him, caring for him, and looking after him.
She seemed like an angel destined to save him. No matter how deep he fell into the abyss, no matter how many humiliating labels were attached to him, she could always find him and extend her warm hand to him.
Every weekend when I come back, I make a point of visiting him.
Those brief moments together were his only expectation during the week, his only motivation to fight against nothingness. For those two or three hours of "normality," he was willing to endure more than a hundred hours of torment in the darkness.
[Because Shizuka knows Nobita too well; she knows that he has practically no friends besides her.]
She thought she understood Nobita, the cowardly, lazy, and dependent boy, but she didn't realize that what she knew was merely the most insignificant tip of an iceberg floating on the surface of the sea.
Every time she saw Nobita walking home alone, his lonely figure made her heart ache.
She felt sorry for his loneliness, but she didn't know that his loneliness was the weight of the entire universe, the eternal loneliness of being a pioneer, leaving his kind far behind, with no turning back.
[And the occasional glimpse of loneliness, indifference, and desolation in Nobita's eyes, yet also a profound depth, made her unable to resist approaching him, wanting to offer him comfort.]
In that instant, she seemed to see a soul that didn't belong to this world, its eyes as deep as the starry sky, filling her with a strange sense of unease and curiosity, a desire to uncover the secrets hidden within.
But just as Shizuka understands Nobita, Nobita also understands Shizuka perfectly.
He understood her better than she understood herself. He knew the psychological motivations behind every kind act she made, and the emotional changes represented by every subtle expression. It was precisely because of this extreme understanding that he was in even greater pain.
However, he felt that his speed of digesting and absorbing knowledge was gradually falling behind the speed at which knowledge was emerging in his mind.
The alarm has sounded; the universe within his mind is approaching the point of heat death, the strings of his thinking are about to snap, and his remaining time may already be measured in seconds.
He could suffer sudden brain death tomorrow, or even in the next second!
Before he completely disappears, he must arrange everything for her once again, paving an unobstructed path to happiness and light for this only light in his life.
[Afterwards, Shizuka naturally got into the best university in the country, while Nobita naturally got into the worst university in his original city.]
After starting university, Shizuka Minamoto became so busy that she no longer had much time to spend with Nobita.
[Shizuka's departure did not change Nobita's life at all. In the eyes of others, he remained the same withdrawn, taciturn, and sleepy Nobita.]
He was like a silent, isolated island, quietly waiting for the tide to completely engulf him. He had completed his final mission, and now he could calmly accept his predetermined fate.
[But his eyes never again held the tenderness he once showed when looking at Shizuka; only endless indifference remained.]
The only source of light went out, and his world was left with only pure, absolute, unadulterated coldness and darkness; his eyes, too, became the color of the deep universe itself.
Nobita thought this kind of life would continue for a long time, perhaps even until Shizuka got married, had children, and grew old; or perhaps he would no longer be able to endure it and would quietly die one day.
He had already devised hundreds of death scenarios for himself, each one ordinary and inconspicuous, unlikely to alarm anyone, like a fallen leaf returning to dust—his final act of tenderness towards the world.
"｀々...too...too sad..."
"His condition is getting worse and worse... In order to fight the storm of knowledge in his mind, he has given up all of his life as a 'human being' in order to gain a moment of peace."
"He not only personally helped Shizuka get into the best high school, but also once again, in the same way, sacrificed his precious energy to pave the way for her to the best university."
"And he himself chose the worst school, the loneliest life, and... to quietly wait for death."
"He clearly loves that girl named Shizuka deeply! She is his only motivation to live!"
"But in order to protect her, and to prevent myself from hurting her when I lose control, I had to sever this only bond with my own hands, and bear alone the loneliness and pain that was enough to crush the universe."
“‘When that only source of light went out, his world was left with only pure darkness’... I can’t imagine how desperate that must have been.”
"He even devised hundreds of ordinary ways to die, just so as not to alert anyone... Is this... the final act of kindness from the gods towards this world?"
...
Luo Xiaohei's War World
At Xiao Hei's home.
Looking at Nobita on the screen, whose eyes had turned as cold as the deep universe, quietly waiting for the end of his life, Shiro could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down her face.
"Waaaaah... So pitiful... (Oh dear)..."
"He gave so much for that girl named Shizuka, but in the end, he was all alone..."
"Is Nobita just going to wait to die like this?"
Xiao Bai's voice was filled with sadness.
She couldn't accept that such a gentle person would meet such a lonely and tragic end.
"This is so sad!"
"Where's that blue robot cat? Where did Doraemon go?"
Xiao Hei jumped off Wuxian's lap and paced anxiously around the room.
He remembered clearly that in the sky before, there was an omnipotent blue robot that always appeared when Nobita needed it most.
"Wasn't he someone who came back from the future to help Nobita?"
"Why hasn't he shown up yet? Nobita's about to die!"
"..."
Wuxian stared silently at the screen, his eyes incredibly deep.
He watched the boy face death with resolute determination, and he also saw the long-extinguished desire for life deep within his heart.
"Perhaps... this is the final trial on the path to godhood that he must bear alone."
"Only after abandoning his last emotion can he truly transform into... an absolute 'god' falsehood."
he said slowly.
However, tragedy strikes faster than anyone could imagine. Shizuka died in a car accident on her way to a violin performance.
This news was like a bolt of lightning at the dawn of creation, instantly cleaving his lifeless spiritual universe. All laws, all theorems, all knowledge collapsed at that moment, and for the first time, cracks appeared in his seemingly divine mask of tranquility.
For the first time in his life, Nobita was panicked, and for the first time, his face showed an expression other than calm.
It was an expression brimming with extreme shock, rage, sorrow, and despair; if a mortal were to witness it, it would drive them instantly insane, for it was the expression of a fallen god.
In episode 53, Nobita goes all out and creates six incredible inventions with his bare hands: a phone booth, a wish-granting book, 800 lies, and a time machine.
"……what?"
"Shizuka...is dead?"
"Because of a...car accident?"
"Shizuka is dead! How is this possible!"
"What a joke! Fate can't play jokes like this!"
"Nobita sacrificed so much, his only happiness, and endured cosmic loneliness, all so that this girl could have a bright future without any obstacles!"
"And then...she just died...because of the most ordinary, most mundane accident?"
"Look at Nobita's expression!"
"What an expression! His calm mask... shattered completely!"
“'The expression that only appears when a god falls'... His heart, which had long been frozen, his divine heart, fell along with this mortal girl's death!”
"His only 'anchor' has broken!"
"What would a god who has lost his last shackles and gone completely berserk do?"
"The entire universe... must be trembling!"
...
Mr. Amazing China World
At Wang Xiaoer's home.
When they saw the words "Shizuka is dead" displayed on the sky, Li Xue and the little fox were speechless with shock.
This sudden and devastating news was hard for them to accept.
"how come……"
