Though it was the sound of her sobs, it was a ray of hope for me.
I was not allowed to succumb to the nightmare, for there were people waiting for me. Someone was crying for my return.
(I might have wronged Alice in one of our past lives, but this time, I had a chance to redeem myself and right those wrongs.)
And it would be only possible after waking up from this dream.
My sister's words gave me the mental strength to break the shackles of the appendages and release myself from the nightmarish prison.
After waking up and consoling my sister, I was subjected to my sister's suspecting glare as she asked if I was hiding something from her.
I wanted to hide this memory of mine, for it vividly showcased the darkness that slumbered in the depths of my soul, but after a second thought, I decided to share it with her.
"Okay, okay. I will tell you."
