"Mommy…"
"Mommy…"
Lumian heard crying calls coming from the surrounding darkness, shrill and pitiful, as if clawing at his heart and soul.
Suddenly, black flames that suppressed madness and destruction ignited on Lumian's body.
These flames spread to the surroundings, burning away the darkness and everything hidden within it.
The crying calls abruptly became piercing, then quickly dissipated.
Lumian let out a cold laugh.
"If you had called me 'Daddy', I might have felt a bit reluctant and affectionate, but 'Mommy'? Who are you trying to fool?"
Just as he finished muttering this to himself, the surrounding darkness shattered inch by inch.
Lumian then awoke, opening his eyes to see the ceiling with its hanging chandelier, hidden in the deep night.
Was I just dreaming?
