That afternoon, Eiji sat on the chair beside Yama's bed. His eyes now looked down awkwardly when he felt that Yama and Yuki were now looking at him intently.
"So?? May I ask first, why do you want to hear my experience?" Yama asked Eiji who now looked surprised by the question, he didn't know that Yama would ask him that, because it was this sudden question that made Eiji look nervous now.
"Ah… Eum, that…-
Eiji didn't know what to say and how to answer, but then Yama laughed in front of him and turned to look at Yuki who was now smiling, "Yuki!" Yama called to him who then nodded his head and took out a notebook with a cover wrapped in synthetic leather.
He gave the note to Yama who then handed the note to Eiji who now looked confused there, "I can't possibly tell everything in detail, because it will all take a long time ... so read this, this is my note that I wrote after I woke up from my sleep and managed to escape from there." Yama explained to Eiji while handing the note to him, that explanation made Eiji nod his head while thanking Yama and Yuki who were in the room.
"Thank You," said Eiji to Yama who now shook his head in response to Eiji's words.
"No… thanks, Eiji, because you were the only one who believed what I said after Yuki." Yama said to Eiji who was now looking at him and then turned to look at Yuki who was now smiling at him.
"Most of them will only listen to the short version like other friends, and don't want to know the continuation, maybe my experience at that time was like a boring story, but you… you and Yuki want to know more because I'm sure you guys believe what I'm telling you. and what I've been through … and I'm grateful for that." continued Yama again at length.

That night along the way to his house, Eiji never turned his eyes in any direction other than the notes that Senior Yama had given him in his treatment room, and because of that, Eiji became increasingly impatient to read Yama's experience notes that were deliberately recorded in the book. the.
Feeling impatient to read it, Eiji finally read the first page of the note. The note also reads 'Not a single incident written in this notebook is a fiction. Everything that happened in this notebook was some incident that I experienced consciously, in the dimension my friends and I call the mystery dimension or what they call the Labyrinth. Signed by the author, as well as the person who experienced it: Nakamura Yama.'.
"Hh…" Eiji could only breathe deeply when he read the first width of the notebook, which in the end made Eiji open the next page to find out how it all started.
'The feeling of fear when the gravel of the train track that enveloped me that afternoon, More than the feeling when I stood in the middle of the railroad crossing and waited for his arrival to take me away to another world and leave the pain and sadness that I experienced in this world, or at least bring me back into reincarnation. something better than the current one.
Yes, for a while I did not intend to commit suicide. Feeling that my life is a pity to leave. The beauty and warmth of the sun are a pity to miss, but this is not what I want.
For a short time, the pebbles that enveloped my body finally slammed me pretty hard into a location I never knew existed.
A location where there are only tall bushes blocking my entire view.' -Nakamura Yama
Eiji's gaze is now turned to the outside, where he has arrived at the city of Kaneyama, which finally makes Eiji close the notebook and prepare to get off the bus. He walked to his house and met his family who was waiting for his arrival and also his mother who had prepared dinner for all of them.

(The story of Nakamura Yama in the Dimension)
there was nothing Yama could see other than tall bushes blocking his view of the surroundings, there were only paths leading back and forth which made Yama finally think that it was a fairly large labyrinth, seen from high up. the bushes.
Realizing that he was in a labyrinth, Yama also felt strange because it seemed like the pebbles on the train tracks had swarmed around him. His body at that time had deliberately led him into a labyrinth he didn't know about.
"Where am I right now??" Yama asked himself, he might be dreaming which in the end he stepped forward to find out if this was really just a dream, and if it was true why did he get to be in a maze if the previous dream was on a train track? However, as far as Yama knows he is aware that what happened on the rails was true.
Feeling confused about what had just happened to him, made Yama also see what would happen in the labyrinth. He walked to explore the labyrinth hallway that he was stepping on and looking for a way out, but it had been more than two hours it felt like walking, Yama had not found a way out. This made Yama even more confused.
"Is it true that I was in a dream?? and if this is really a dream, then why am I feeling so tired after walking here for a long time?? Isn't it if we dream then we won't feel tired?" Yama muttered to himself, he thought for a moment and finally chose to pinch himself as hard as possible to test himself whether his thoughts about dreamland were true, and finally, Yama groaned in pain because of it.
"Ouch!!" groaned Yama felt pain in his left hand which he had pinched himself, and he was even stunned when he felt pain. "No… no way is this place real?! how could that be?? how can that pebble bring me here?? what place is this?? Where am I?!" he muttered to himself as he looked left and right in quite a panic.
Yama was finally silent to concentrate so that he could think clearly, thinking about how the small pebble brought Yama here and how Yama could get out of that place. In the end, Yama gave up on it all and chose to look for clues to the way out, and that decision made him walk again through the place to look for signs or gates that could be the way out of this labyrinth.

(currently rolling time - Eiji)
Knock-knock…
"Brother… can you help me??" a knock and the voice of Eiji's younger brother also made Eiji who was focused on reading immediately close the note and turned to look at his younger brother who opened the door to his room with an English book in his right hand.
Seeing this, Eiji nodded his head and tidied his study table, "Come... brother help!" said Eiji to his younger brother who was now smiling happily and entered his brother's room.
