Nick walked back to the hotel absentmindedly.
For some reason, he felt like everything that had happened today wasn't real.
Yet, he knew very well that it was real.
Would he even question whether or not this was a dream if it were actually a dream?
Probably not.
Nevertheless, Nick felt like nothing had changed.
He felt like he was about to go back to Horua's room to check up on him.
After entering the hotel and climbing up the stairs, Nick stopped in front of his room as he looked over at the door to Horua's room.
For a couple of seconds, he just watched.
Then, he walked to Horua's room and entered.
After opening the door, he just saw an empty bed.
The blanket was still in the same position as when Nick had left.
Yet, there was no Horua.
For many seconds, Nick just stood in the room, looking at Horua.
From time to time, a whiff of a bloody smell entered his nose.
