"Lena, it's time to wake up" A familiar minotaur head comes into Lena's view. She sits up and watches the moon starting to rise again.
Lena looks at the field full of dandelions. The twin flowers that have bloomed have withered after the sun has started to rise.
Lena didn't know how many days she has slept in the spirit world. After the death of Cereus, Lena looked empty and decided to sleep and just hope to never wake again.Allo has long been gone, she's not dead, but rather, she is staying on Lena's body.
'I'm so tired. What's the point of living when I have already lived my life in the past? I can never see my past family nor can my friends. I want to see them, I miss them so much that it hurts, but I know that I will never see them again. I just hope to sleep forever in these fields' Lena thought to herself.
The Elder with a minotaur head named Zoe explained to Lena that Allo possess has no threat and is residing in her shadow temporarily, but these words didn't reach Lena as she look at the moon absentmindedly.
Neoteros who never left Lena's side cuddles up towards her. Neoteros can expand his body at will. He uses his body to let Lena sit up while his head is in Lena's lap.
"You know, you can't stay here forever. Your family is waiting for you outside" Zoe said as he sat down next to Lena.
Hearing those words, Lena was awoken from her trance.
'My family....' Lena remembered the sweet smiles of her current family and friends.
Lena looks toward the Elder as if she's going to cry but smiles in the end.
"You're right, Elder. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for everything. If Cereus saw me like this, she will surely hate me." Lena said while laughing but it's clear that she's still very hurt by the sudden departure of Cereus.
"You have done what others can't do. In the end, she is happy compared to the future she was supposed to endure" Hearing those words, Lena was shocked and looked at the Elder.
"Right now, you are still tired. I'll explain everything when the time is right. But right now, wake up, the people who loved you are waiting for your arrival" Zoe smiled at Lena as he pats her head.
"Ok, thank you Elder, for everything." Lena said as her figure slowly disappear.
It has been 3 days have passed in the real world, but during Lena's stay in the spirit world, she has been sleeping for a long time.
When Lena woke up, her siblings were the first that appeared in front of her. They hugged Lena while crying. Since Lena has 7 siblings, it made the bed crowded, making Aria scold them, but in the end, cries hugging Lena too.Kang-dae, and Lena's classmates were also there to visit and give gifts but were forbidden to enter. After hearing that Lena woke up, they are very happy. They patiently waited outside for the news about Lena's condition.
Uncle Ben and some of the workers in Aria's business are close to Lena and decided to bring gifts since they know they are forbidden to enter the room. It is such a coincidence that there are a lot of people visiting today.
Lena's parents also arrived after hearing their child woke up. Because they are panicking, the door was left open, making the people outside see the current situation.
Lena was still having a hard time processing what was happening since it's been a long time since her soul return to her body.
In other's view, it looks as if Lena is looking into nothingness with dead eyes. Rowan who was also there, clench his hands hard as unpleasant memories flooded when Lena was rescued as a child.
