" We're... Back at the labyrinth Aster took me to." I say.
" Remember the lake?" Achned asks me.
I nod.
" You can say task will be pretty easy. All you have to do is walk across the lake and be able to walk back to here." He says.
" Wait, walk?"
" Yes. Walk." He says.
" How?"
" You'll find a way." He smiles.
I look at the lake.
All you have to do is walk, huh? Easier said than done.
I close my eyes, take a deep breath and step onto the lake.
Only to fall into it.
" Shit!" I say before I fall into the water, almost drowning. Achned pulls me up from the water.
" Can you swim?" He asks me.
" Yes. I was just taken by surprise." I say.
" Really?" He looks at me, unamused.
I laugh a little nervously.
I tried focusing on the silence in the room and tried again.
That didn't work so I did something else.
And again.
And again.
And again.
Phew, and again.
I gave up.
" Can you give me a clue?" I ask him.
He sighs.
" Focus.... Do anything you think that will trigger the slight ring in your head from before." He says.
" Wait, how do you know-"
" Zero told me."
Well it makes sense. Zero read able to talk to me through thought so, it didn't surprise me that he could read thoughts.
I walk to the edge again.
Ok, what did I do doing Zero's task.
Oh yeah, have a clear head.
This might be a little easier since, I'm not falling and because, I probably have all the time in the world.
I take a deep breath and close my eyes, once again.
I hear the slight ring. It felt like as if the wind had disappeared.
" Oh you're back." A voice says.
" Huh?" I look around to I'm in the same white room. But, there's a curtain this time.
" A black...curtain." I walk towards it. The more I walked, the farther it was.
Wait!
" Hey, Kyoto." Achned says to me. I snap back into reality and see I'm next to him.
" You looked like a zombie walking across the water." He says to me.
" I did?"
" Well, congrats. You finished." He says to me.
" Still, why was there a curtain?" I think to myself.
