Chereads / Smiling Devil / Chapter 38 - Nostalgic Hallways

Chapter 38 - Nostalgic Hallways

"Nostalgic Hallways" is the chapter's title.

When Wolford first stepped out into the daylight, the hectic rhythm of life was already unfolding all around him. As they moved past him in waves, people created a colorful scene of a variety of expressions and animated conversation. He was immediately taken aback by the overwhelming number of people strolling the sidewalks, which was a striking contrast to the solitary existence he was accustomed to in Eldoria.

As he strolled, the notion that "Where is the school again?" kept creeping into the periphery of his consciousness. It was a peculiar epiphany—a combination of the recollections that belonged to this new vessel and the imprints that his own mind had left on it. A melding of two different universes, each of which contributes in its own way to the story of the present.

A flash of memory was reflected in the gentle narrowing of his eyes at that same moment. Wolford made the observation with a sly grin playing across his lips, "It seems as though the memories of this kid have been added to mine." The complexities of his existence were revealing themselves in ways that he had not anticipated.

He was intent on navigating the landscape that was mapped out by these recollections that were revealed, and he reflected, "Then let's go where this memory told me so." It seemed as though the rhythm of his steps synchronized with the beat of the memories that were leading him through the maze of streets and alleys.

After some time had passed, the recognizable profile of the school finally came into view. Its architectural lines set off a chain reaction of memories and conjured up the aura of academia, which was a domain that he had once patrolled in the capacity of a guardian. Wolford, who was at this point masquerading as a student, could not help but be amazed by the irony that was weaved into this unexpected reappearance.

The school, a stronghold of consistency and order, appeared before him as a looming presence. As Wolford made his way through the city's gates, he was overcome with an odd feeling of melancholy. Stories of forgotten talks, laughter, and the burden of knowledge were whispered in the hallways. It was not just a voyage through actual sites, but also a stroll down the halls of recollection.

Wolford began to dive deeper into this universe, and as he did so, he began to wonder how this unexpected confluence of fates would play out. The story of his life continued to weave an intricate tapestry, entwining the events of the past and the happenings of the present in a dance of complexities.
