The boy kept running towards the end of the road, his willpower falling apart in the terrible dream. There seemed to be no way out. Behind him, the footsteps became more intense. The boy could even feel the rush of footsteps closing in right behind him!
How did this happen?!
Was the dream beginning to crumble?
Had it gone completely out of control?
…
"Don't… don't come any nearer… don't…" The boy kept waving his hand, his face flushed with the effort of trying to catch his breath.
On the other side of the door, Yun Shishi could hear the boy's uneasy ramblings. Nervously, she pushed the door open a crack, only to see Alice frowning in alarm at the boy's flailing hands. She took a step into the doorway, and Alice looked up at her and shushed her.
"You can come in, but don't speak."
