The Only Way

The Answers

Thinking.

It became clear to Jin

That the devil is hunting us down one by one. His mind went just a little bit in that state of... 'Making Sense'

One by one, we die... Or we don't even know if they died. Rin, Jie and Mae just disappeared... God knows what will happen to Jin and I.

That's where I come in...

My research is what I need to finish up this mess.

And when Jin finally comes back home, a.k.a my apartment. He closed the door and I said "Hey Jin, welcome ba..." My 'welcome back' was cut as Jin falls down to the ground and lies down there like he's dead...

I got out of my chair and ran to him, I raised his head with two hands and spoke to him... "Jin... Jin! What happened? What's going on?"

My eyes were about to let go tears when Jin looked at me with his eyes dropping low.

I broke the silence and "No...don't tell me..."

Jin said "Rin... She's..."

I punched the floor really hard and cried. "Why..." "Jin... It's just the two of us now..."

I carried Jin to the bed and tucked him in so he could get some sleep.

I was so angry... This feeling

I can't describe...

It's more than anger... I was closing my fists so hard, blood started coming out of my palm.

But at that time, it was a good thing I was done with all my research...
I had to go travel far away and Jin, I had to leave in my apartment to sleep.

I went outside the city, to reach 1103 near this small town in laguna.
And as I arrive, after a 30 minute trip.
I went searching across the town with my backpack.
There were no people... Just houses... I didn't know where I was.
But as I walk

As I go through the empty streets... It all started to get familiar...
That town in my dream...the cars in my dream...the lights the shops... The road pavements...
Everything was starting to get familiar...
I felt like I was close to the answer...
And to my surprise. I found a sign...

It said "Turn right to find the cabin"
And when I did, I saw this club, lights flashing everywhere and the dance floor was colorful... There were lots of people...

I went inside and I saw

Mae, Jin and Rin partying and drinking... They were all drunk... I saw another sign inside the bar and it said "Keep walking to reach the cabin"
I kept walking straight, I found myself inside a ladies bathroom...

Then

I saw Jie, taking selfies... I stopped walking and watched her take mirror selfies. Until I saw her crawl into the mirror as she was saying... "It's the only way"

The mirror shapeshifted into a door and a sign formed and said "Turn right again to reach the cabin"

When I look behind me, I saw nothing but oblivion...
"Is this still the town?" "I don't know where I am anymore..."
Guess there's no turning back now...

I walked through the door and found myself in an apartment...

Wait... This is my apartment... I saw Myself, Jin, Rin and Mae at my apartment, Mae was looking at the three of us and said "I have a fever..."
Then the three of us went outside... To buy her medicine... I was watching Mae get out of her bed and crawl into the mirror from that other night while she was saying "it's the only way"

The mirror turned into a door again and a sign said "Walk straight, almost there to the cabin"

I walked in and found myself in Rin's hospital room... She was sitting on the floor crying and saying "NO...WHY...."
Then again, I saw her crawl into a mirror as she says "it's the only way"

The mirror turned into a door and I walked in...

There I saw the cabin...
As I walk closer and closer
A bloody shadow was about to charge it's fist behind me.
I looked back and closed my eyes... At that moment I knew I was gonna die...

When I opened my eyes...
I saw Jin
In pain
The shadow's fist I saw was piercing through Jin's body... He looked down at me with a smile and said...
"Hecs..." "It's the only way..." Jin smiled with his teeth out as he approaches death even more...

And there I watched the shadow disappear...
As Jin dies in my arms...
It started to rain... I wasn't prepared for any of this...

I closed my eyes and my tears bursted onto Jin...
As I said... "It's..."

"The Only Way..."
