"Now then... your time has lapsed..."
As she presented those words, a black miasma began forming on her hand... I wasn't sure what was happening yet I was immediately put on alert:
"Wait what are you doi-"
*drop* *drop* *drop*
But... In an instant, that monster... had plunged her hand deep into my abdomen, making my blood gush out and spill on a non-existent floor... As the monster began talking...
"Are you feeling it yet...?"
I didn't understand what she meant, and she saw my this...
"AHHHHHHHH!!!"
She had just twisted my insides with her hand, as I felt some of my insides begin to rupture...
"This suffering... this is what you felt, yet you're forgiving...?"
"..."
I did not understand what she meant... It may have been due to the unbearable pain, the feeling of disgust and sickness I got from simply being in this space or something else... but nothing seemed to stop her anger...
"Why are you pardoning those who wronged you, HUH?"
"AHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
I could only scream as I started tasting blood in my mouth... I could feel every last bit of pain and suffering she was providing me...
"But that doesn't matter... You'll fail eventually..."
*drop* *drop* *drop*
The monster... had finally released my insides from her grasp... and pulled out her hand from my abdomen... As I began to feel my consciousness fading away I heard her muttering a final sentence...
"Goodbye Reiki, I'll be seeing you..."
※
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"
I screamed loudly as I sat upright...
But as I scanned the scenery around me... It instantly came to my attention...
'...My room...?'
I was back at the inn... laying on my bed... which was filled to the brim with sweat... and blood...?
I pushed the covers away, revealing what I had been fearing...
I gaping hole in my abdomen, gushing out blood... I felt the pain from it, yet I wasn't sure how to react...
'Wasn't that a nightmare...?'
I was left wondering at my disgusting wound...
'Why... am I hurt...?'
If my encounter with... that... had been in my dreams... then why am I hurt...
However, before I could think more about this strange wound...
*KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK*
"REIKA ARE YOU OKAY?! WE'RE COMING IN!!!"
Without waiting for me to even reply, Myria and Scarlet both stormed the room, knocking down the door in the process...
"I'm fine..."
I had barely managed to cover my wound with the mattresses as I spoke with a fake scared look on my face...
Both Scarlet and Myria looked at me worried as Myria grabbed my shoulders, looked at me dead in the eye and asked preoccupied:
"Are you hurt anywhere? Why did you scream?"
