It was cold and so indescribably dark that I didn't know whether my eyes were open or not.
The only thing I was 100% sure about was that I had to leave from wherever I was trapped.

But where was I anyway?

This endless void was so damn familiar, but also as strange as anything can be.

And suddenly it clicked.

This place, which reminded one of pure nothing, was the connection that was supposed to lead my current me into the past.

But that didn't make any sense, as I should actually have a few more hours before the gate opened, but before I could worry about it, I suddenly woke up.

"Hey, are you ok?"

No, that couldn't be true.

What just happened and why?

"Lucas?"

"Huh? Yes?"

"Are you alright?"

"No, I'm not okay."

"Do you need-"

But before he could even try to express his concern, I ran off.

"I'm sorry, I really can't explain that to you right now, but I have to leave immediately!"

"Wait a moment."

"Sorry, I can't" I shouted back.

I couldn't believe that all my efforts were in vain.
Shit, just thinking about it hurts, after all, I was so convinced that I could finally break the vicious circle but now I'm nothing but lost.

"But why..."

"What would you do if I disappeared?"  Lia asked me in a serious tone.

To be honest, I had no idea what to say.
It's not like I've ever thought about that option, I mean why should I?

"That's a really odd question ...
hmm, why do you even wanna know that? Do you plan on running away?"

Lia rolled her eyes and whispered something inaudible to herself.

"Don't be silly, of course not! I just wanna know what you'd do if I disappeared."

"Then I'd look for you until I'll find you."

"Even... even if I don't want that?"

"..."
