Reversed Time Illusion Part 2

Heka woke up and found himself lying in the hospital. He has been hospitalized several times. But, he didn't know at all which hospital he was currently being treated at.

Afterward, he understood what caused him to be like this. He was grateful because of Marchio. He finally found out everything. He would never be able to forget it. The best way to repay was to follow what Marchio commanded.

He was alone in the room. The bed next to it was empty, but there was another one. Because on the patient's desk, there was a water pitcher still filled. He didn’t know where the patient next to him went.

Then, he sat down and stood up. He looked out through the windows. Everything seemed dark. He walked in the window to see if it was dark or cloudy. He looked up at the sky. There were black clouds and it was about to rain.

There was the sound of the doorknob opening. He turned to him. "Ansel...".

He was surprised. He saw Ansel who entered the room and carried an infusion. He actually had a plan to avoid Ansel in Marchio's reverse time. After he saw what had just happened, he realized that he was destined to meet Ansel.

Ansel walked toward him with a big smile. "Hello, my name is Ansel." He invited Heka to shake hands. It was clear that Ansel didn't know him at all.

"Heka." Heka said briefly and shook his hand.

"How about your hands? Yesterday, your hand was severe. I saw it when the nurse changed the bandage. What really happened? Don't you mind sharing with me?" Ansel asked non-stop.

"Which question should I answer first?" Heka said sarcastically.

Ansel replied with a big smile. He seemed very happy to meet Heka. But not for Heka.

Although they were in the same room, Heka ignored him. Ansel tried to make a conversation. However, he kept silent.

He didn’t want to speak at all. And he pretended that Ansel didn’t exist.

At night Heka couldn't sleep at all. Ansel was disturbed by that. "Are you having trouble sleeping? Let me call the doctor." Ansel said.

"No, thanks. Sorry for bothering you." He stood up and walked towards the door.

"Where are you going?"

"Just taking a walk. I'll be back when you've slept. It's better because if I'm still here, you might never be able to sleep." That was what Heka thought.

"Okay. Actually, it doesn’t matter, I can use headphones, so I can sleep easily.”

Heka just wanted to stay away from Ansel. So, it was better to get out of the room. He didn't pay attention to what Ansel said at all. He had just left.

***

That day, Ansel was discharged from the hospital. It made Heka relieved. Because he no longer had to keep his distance. Ansel didn't forget to say goodbye to him, “Today I'm going home. Don't worry because I will often visit you. So you don't feel alone."

"Don’t do it. You must take a full rest at home.”

"Don't worry. I feel well after all."

He was indeed happy because he had the opportunity to meet his parents again. But he felt there was no difference between the real world and the illusion world.

Heka did not think that Ansel kept his word. He came, even though yesterday he just got out of the hospital. He brought flowers and some snacks for him.

It seemed like he had to ask permission to get out whatever happened. It was the only way to stay away from Ansel. Ansel has done a lot for him. But he couldn't forgive Ansel at all for hitting him just like that without giving him a chance to explain. Even in a few words.

 ***

Reverse Time Illusion run so fast. The day passed three times. At least Heka didn't meet Ansel at all, according to what he expected. He also did not experience acute insomnia, the same as in the human realm.

Heka exited New Haven Museum. He walked to the parking lot. He was busy with his own thoughts. It was all about Reverse Time Illusion.

A few days later, it was Stacy's wedding. There was not much difference between the real world and the illusion world. Her marriage was also held in the same place.

But, he wondered whether this time he would also lose his parents or not. He was curious about it. He had absolutely no idea what he was supposed to do. So there would be no death. It was the most frightening thing for him in his life.

But there was one thing he most hoped for. "Am I going to meet Marchio too?" He looked up at the sky with a hope that he didn’t have a tragic ending like in the real world.

When he was busy with his thoughts, the surrounding time became very crowded. He heard all the screaming and running. Meanwhile, Heka just walked and didn't care what had happened.

Someone bumped into him from behind, he said, "Sorry..." then he just ran.

In his mind, he wondered who that person was. It was about Reverse Time Illusion. Because there was this moment, he was strange to him. But, he was familiar.

He probably remembered about a woman who caused him to be unable to sleep and tortured for years. But, for the one who bumped into him, he had absolutely no idea. In fact, this was the first time Heka had seen him.

That was why Heka kept watching him. He tried to remember him. Afterward, the person disappeared from his sight. Then, he remembered something. He was the one that he followed and led him to Kiervant Sky.

After he realized the man who ran after him, suddenly his steps stopped. He seemed unable to move his own body. The only thing he could move was his head. Someone controlled his body.

His hands moved on his own. His palms turned to his face. His finger pointed behind him. He looked back.

"It’s empty. How could everything just disappear?” For him, it was so weird. Even though he was in the car park. There were some people who passed by to get a car. Suddenly, everyone disappeared.

There was not a single person behind him. He turned back to the front. But his finger was still pointing at one thing. Heka had no idea what he wanted to show.

"Maybe I should wait for it." Heka kept looking back and waiting for someone to appear from behind him.

A few minutes later, there was a woman who appeared from behind. "Who is she?"

This time, Heka did not know the woman who appeared behind him. She was a strange one.

Heka watched her from afar. Her steps were getting faster and faster. His body moved around and faced the woman. She ran so fast towards him.

Heka felt something bad was going to happen to him. He didn't know what the woman would do to him.
