This could be a recurring nightmare that would terrify the average person.
But for Annan, it instead piqued his interest—
The "Huh" he had heard when he first came out of the "prison" was produced by the current him.
But how did this nightmare know that he would be here at this time?
Could this really be a dream of the Cycle?
If it were a nightmare caused by the influence of a Doppelgänger, that would be one thing... but this was clearly the Pale Princess's nightmare, right?
The Pale Princess had no abilities related to time and mirrors...
Or could it be... that the "mutation" of this nightmare was towards time and mirrors?
Because he had come into contact with Benjamin from the future... or because he possessed a mirror personally given by the Doppelgänger?
Many possibilities emerged simultaneously in Annan's mind.
But they also made him bolder.
If the candle was indeed lit by his future self—
Annan ran quickly to the end of the corridor.
His steps briefly faltered.
