After being ignored by the officer , Stal spent the rest of the day with a mind filled with questions about David and the strange talk he said ; he couldn't get a wink of sleep until midnight because of that .
After getting four hours of deep sleep , he woke up at dawn and stepped out of the workers dormitory he was sleeping in ; he turned behind him to take a look at the building ,
" Why did I go out of the building?! What was I trying to do?! "
He tried to go back to the building , but he felt the urge to leave . Submitting to his desire , he started walking ; it seemed to him that he was walking aimlessly. Each time he reached a crossroad , his instinct told him to go into one of the paths ; he did not know why .
He kept walking continuously for two whole hours until he reached a desolate place surrounded by many trees as if he was in a forest . He then entered the place surrounded by those trees to get amazed by how spacious it was . In the middle , he spotted a building of only two floors , yet vast . He had a hunch that he should run to go there , so he rushed as fast as he could , then turned around to see what was he escaping from only to see a round hole surrounding the spacious area he was in . That big hole appeared from nowhere to swallow the ground and made something somewhat like a trench . Then , he saw the sky around him changing its color to be like aurora borealis exactly , but he saw that this aurora was like a shield covering the sky above that area . As that shield rose from the trench that was just made , the shape of the shield was nothing alike the one in the sky when it came to its sides , as it was a transparent shield.
Stal fixed his eyes on the building, then he headed towards the door to enter . The building was just a normal white one in his eyes.
Someone opened the door for him from the inside ; he looked at Stal and said ,
" Why are you late ?"
Coincidentally , the man caught a glimpse of Stal's bare feet ; they were in a bad condition . The man grinned while giving a surprised look ,
" Oho… , Stal! Have you walked all of the distance on your foot or what?! Anyways , go into that room ; there's a telephone there and the chairwoman will get in touch with you through it once you enter . "
Stal remained silent and his facial expressions were composed . He wondered why was he calm and composed even though he just saw a black silhouette of a person that has no features except what originally had a color different than black : his eyes and his teeth . It was as If he was in a movie and the director shaded him off to hide that person's identity .
He entered the building afterwards , and there was a hallway before him ; the hallways forked into only two ways , either left or right , but , as for the front , it was blocked with a gray wall.
Stal went into the left one following the strange man's guidance , whilst the man went into the right side . Stal reached the end of the hallway and found a door ; he opened it and saw a small room . The size of the room was like that of children , and it had a flashy decor ; the wall in front of him was orange, the one on his right was purple , the one on his left was baby blue , the ceiling was green , and the floor was covered with a red rug . As for the door's side , it was in yellow .
He got in the room and found a blue bed sheet covered with a blanket on the floor . He spotted a hardwired phone hanging on the wall above them .
The phone rang , and so Stal headed immediately to answer . He heard a soft pure voice from the speaker ; he realized it's a female's voice ,
" You can sit down , Stal . Tell me your opinion on the photos on the wall . Are they to your liking? "
Stal directed his eyes on the walls and noticed cartoon pictures stuck on the wall facing him ; he found them childish but he liked them anyway , and that made him feel weird ,
" That's weird . I didn't notice them when I entered , although I scanned the whole room just now ."
He heard a muffled laugh from the woman ,
" You not denying your that you like them , means you do like them . I got the answer . "
This time her voice was calm and normal , and it wasn't coming out of a speaker . After hearing her voice , he felt familiar with her as if he knew her for a long time ,
" Everything here is so weird , but after I heard your voice , I felt familiarity , as if everything that was bugging me have disappeared . I don't like speaking to people or being around them because that makes me feel tired as if my head is about to explode , but here , I feel like I want to stay forever . "
Stal wondered why was he revealing such things to her . That was supposed to stay in his mind , not to be blurt out . His wonder faded quickly as he came back to his original state of mind . There was nothing to think of or to be anxious about ; he felt that he can fully trust her .
Once again , he heard her voice but this time the effect of the speaker returned ,
" What you feel now is trust . Your heart and mind are telling you to trust me ; unlike the case with the other people where your mind warns you from them so , you feel drained from being around them . I'm different . You can entrust your life to me because I will happily sacrifice my life for you . "
He smiled like a little child and lied in bed as he was still speaking on the phone ,
" I really want to sleep now . It seems that I cannot resist it . I think I'll sleep ."
He heard her reply as he dozed off slowly ,
" I have a mission for you about David . You know him right ? "
Although she kept speaking , that was the only thing Stal heard before he fell into deep sleep .
