Chloe: Welcome back to the void.
Samuel: What happened to me...? Wait, never mind. I remember now.
Chloe: Amna and Sarah are treating your body in the inn as we speak, you are to stay here for now.
Samuel: All right... But Chloe, can you please explain to me what's happening to my life? You're the only person who seemed to understand what's happening.
Chloe: I already have mentioned it before. You are waking up Samuel.
Samuel: What do you mean I'm waking up?! You tell me that every time damn time!
Chloe: I am not allowed to explain it to you as per my purpose in existence, nor could I hint what is and will happen to you. All I'm able to tell is that the World End Event will come soon, and I must prepare your soul before the event occurs.
Samuel: Prepare how?
Chloe: That, I believe I mentioned before but will not mention again as it would tamper with my purpose.
Samuel: You're going to drive me crazy.
Chloe: I would advise you to not think much of it as all your answers would be questioned.
Samuel: You mean all my questions will be answered?
Chloe: I said what I meant.
Samuel: You are hard to understand...
Chloe: The emotions I lack make it difficult to communicate at times.
Samuel: I can see that... Anyways, how long am I staying here for?
Chloe: Your body will regain consciousness in a minute.
Samuel: Hmm...
Chloe: I believe you have a question that I could answer.
Samuel: Which one?
Chloe: "Could you tell me about yourself?"
Samuel: Oh, please answer it if you can. I'd be satisfied with one question answered.
Chloe: Well, I don't know much about my creation or existence. All I am aware of is that I was born in an empty world and the first words of light came from you entering, what you call, this void, and that I was given a purpose to guide you through your life here.
Samuel: What do you even do here?
Chloe: All I could do was wait for your arrival. I am unable to see the colours of my surroundings and thus, I simply wait.
Samuel: Do you not have any hobbies or something you favour?
Chloe: With my lack of emotions, I believe not. But it looks like you are about to wake up now...
Samuel: Just think before I go!
Chloe: On second thought, I am aware that I like the song Life Could Be a Dream by Street Corner Renaissance.

I slowly opened my eyes and found myself in my room. Amna was sitting on the bed beside me, writing something in a small notebook in her hand.
Samuel: Amna?
Amna: (Turns around) Sam...? You're awake. Sarah! Sam woke up!
Samuel: Don't yell like that, it would disturb the neighbours.
Amna: I'm sorry...
Sarah entered the room in a hurry and looked exhausted. She came around my bed and sat on it next to Amna. She then put her hand on my forehead. I kept my hand over hers as it gave me Mother's comfort.
