Summoning her courage, Midori stepped out onto the balcony, the cool morning air wrapping around her as she met the old man's intense gaze. “I have to tell you everything. That’s why I’m here. I have to tell you everything, or else you’ll be destroyed,” he said, urgency lacing his words.

“What? What do you want to say?” Midori asked, taking a cautious step back, instinctively maintaining a safe distance while processing the weight of his statement.

The old man continued, his voice low and fervent. “That old mansion is ancient... After Junho's father died, he inherited all his father’s wealth, and his stepbrother’s eyes were set on Junho’s fortune. Yuji, the little girl whom you saw in your dream—”

Midori's breath caught in her throat. Shock rippled through her. “How did you know about my dream?” she managed to ask, her heart racing as she realized he held knowledge about a vision that had deeply disturbed her.

The old man's expression grew serious, a blend of sadness and urgency crossing his features. “Because, child, your dreams are more than mere figments of your imagination. They are echoes of the past, warnings of what is yet to come. Yuji’s fate is intertwined with yours, and if you do not act, darkness will consume you both.”

As he spoke, Midori felt the gravity of his words pressing down on her. The vulnerable threads of her dream intertwined with a grim reality she had only begun to understand. The old man's warning pulled her deeper into the mystery surrounding Jun ho, Yuji, and the ominous history of the mansion that seemed to loom closer with each passing moment.
