While the friends were deciding Luz's fate, she had a vivid dream. In her dream, she met a Gandalf-looking man, the man ushered her into a foggy forest.

They reach a tree branch that is conveniently comfortable to sit on, so naturally they sit on it, then the man proceeds to tell her about himself.

Gandalf-looking man: " 200 years before your time, me and a couple of my friends discovered a gate while running away from the enemy's fire, it was at this very forest that I tripped and went down a slope and hit hard on a brick wall, my friends followed me, the wall stood by itself, like a door but was shut with bricks, one of my friends extended his hand to help me up and as he did, he noticed the writing on the door, we both read it and suddenly a magical gate opened, I urged my friend not to go in, but he did, and he never came back, I and my other friend vowed to find a way to get him back, but we didn't understand what we were facing"

Luz: " He didn't set the intention to return, just like my parents! It's in the book"

Gandalf-looking man: " Yes, it took me a friend and 2 of his family members to figure it out, but once I did, I went in and it was incredible, you know that book you talked about? I wrote it, I was a very careful young man, but unfortunately not careful enough, I had to observe my other friend and his lover gradually get lost in that wicked place, so I had to hide it and write the book with instructions so my predecessors can benefit from it, I became rich, I built the hidden chamber and the house around it."

Luz: " My husband said the place seemed conscious, but sir, what's your name?"

Gandalf-looking man: " My name is Rupert and yes that is no place that is a living wish granting monster, it feeds on your soul the more it gives, the more it takes"

Luz: " That monster helped me save my baby"

Rupert: " Oh child! you are so wrong, that place only took it away from you, just like it gave it life, you have made a terrible mistake mingling with that Aaraan, and so you must suffer."

Luz: " Are you saying everything that has happened to me was my fault? You think I'd wish this suffering upon myself?"

Rupert: " Matter of fact, yes I am, if baffles me that after all of this, all these outcomes from your own choices, choices that defied everyone who wanted your best interest, choices that defied logic and cost you the gift of motherhood, you still think that the result of your actions isn't your fault?"

Luz: " I can still be a mother and have a beautiful baby just like Uto."

Rupert: " You are delusional, that poor baby looked like an abomination and no you can't become a mother, your womb is damaged and you are now sterile"
