Footsteps start coming towards before I can finally see the man from the last ti I was here. Just standing right in front of once again.
The look on his face spoke a lot. "You really must be enjoying everything huh. This is probably the worst you ever have anything!" He begins shouting.
"I don’t understand..." I reply, fear evident in my voice.
Snap! Two chairs appear after he snaps his fingers. "Take a seat." He demands.
I don’t see a reason to argue with him about it so I take a seat as he told to do. The darkness still lingering around us. Almost like eyes are watching from every direction.
"It isn’t fair that you get to have the normal life. Why did I have to be the one to suffer?" He questions as he looks towards the ground.
He sounds kind of angry... And maybe even a bit jealous. I guess it makes sense if you are just living your life here the entire ti instead of having a normal life as he put it.
This wouldn’t be a life that I would want to live either. Being inside of this dark abyss all the ti is no way to live.
"Can’t you leave this place?" I respond with my own question, curiosity overtaking my fear.
"Inside this place or outside this place is just as bad. There is no good life outside of here for ... Just fighting, death, and more fighting." He answers, a bit of sadness in his voice.
"I understand why you are angry but it isn’t my fault." I say while looking at the man.
He looks a lot like but definitely a bit more rough around the edges with so longer white hair. His clothes are also not the sa as when I saw him last.
Or were the exact sa? I don’t rember... It’s been a long ti since I was brought into this weird nightmare.
"I know. She just won’t tell why I’m seeing you in here." He replied while running his hand through his hair.
He keeps saying things as if I understand what he’s talking about but I don’t. Nothing he says makes any sense to so I don’t know what he expects from .
That voice from before also disappeared the mont he showed up so maybe I won’t have to worry about it again.
I’m just hoping I wake up from this nightmare soon... I hate being in this place surrounded by all this darkness all the ti. Especially when it feels like monsters are lurking around in the dark.
"I don’t even know who you are or what you are talking about. None of it makes any sense to ." I say with a bit of confusion in my voice.
"I’m you. Just, I had a completely different life than you. The world fell apart and I’m still trying to figure out how to put everything back together." He answers, sadness in his voice.
"That doesn’t make any sense... Why would I see myself in a place like this?" I question while scratching my head.
"I don’t really know if I’m being honest. The abyss is a hard place to understand so I don’t always have the answers." He answers before leaning back against the chair.
Even if he is ... Why would he waste the ti talking to about anything in here? Especially if our paths are different.
There won’t be anything helpful that I can tell him since we aren’t living the sa lives in the slightest. He is fighting and trying to figure everything out while I’m just building stuff.
Building and building and building. That’s all I really do since I don’t really care much for anything else.
"I just don’t understand the point of any of this." I say genuinely.
"That’s what I’m still trying to figure out kid." He replies without hesitation.
Back to acting all over again. It’s fine, let’s keep playing this ga until everything goes away.
I don’t understand what this voice is talking about. I’ve been awake before and everything was just fine.
This place is the only ti I’m really asleep so it doesn’t make any sense to in the slightest. Neither of them are telling anything that will help understand the situation at hand.
How can I understand it if there’s nothing for to work with?
Your world is deceiving you.
"You alright?" He asks, distracting from the voice I kept hearing.
"Y-Yeah. Just kind of zoned out I guess." I answer while looking down at my hands.
"At least we are alike in that sense. Our attention seems to wonder the sa way. But I think we’ll just have to talk more another ti." He says before standing up.
Before I could speak... Everything around disappears within seconds. I jolt up in my bed to see that I’m back inside my room again like nothing ever happened.
Gripping my chest as if sothing heavy was sitting on top of it this whole ti.
I’ll never understand why I see the abyss. Why I’m eting a version of myself within this sa place filled with darkness.
But I’ll head back to sleep for now, it’s still too early to be up.
I slowly open my eyes and I can finally see the light shining into my bedroom once again, no darkness this ti. It ant I didn’t wake up within that abyss again.
With that I got out of bed and made my way to the bathroom to clean up for the day. I’d be dirty from all the stuff I have to work on but it didn’t matter.
An hour passes by and I finished everything that I needed to before starting my day.
"Rokuro! Rokuro co downstairs!" Mom shouts.
Not Minami calling for ? That’s definitely different. I’ve never really heard the machine call for before. I an...Mom call for in awhile.
