My consciousness seemed to disappear for a few seconds. But in reality, I never lost consciousness. I was always aware every moment, I was just startled by the sudden change of situation around me.
"Joe, what's wrong with you? Are you too tired? You can rest if you want," those words made me aware of something.
Alice?
Oh, right, I'm back.
I looked into Alice's eyes, staring at me with a worried expression.
She's really Alice...
I looked around and saw Maria complaining because she didn't want to leave the place we were in at that moment.
But deep down, Maria knew she had to let go.
Alice and Maria wanted to prove that their grandfather's hope was something real. Although I doubted it, at the very least, I would accompany them to the end.
I smiled and said to Alice, "I'm fine, let's finish this quickly so we can have enough time to rest."
"Yes, you're right," Alice replied.
