"the world is just an illusion of the images you hold in your head , hold on to the images of your dreams and the illusion of your dreams becomes your reality "

(Stanly Dawejko. Jr )

I don't know this man , or why did he say that , this is absolutely absurd ! it is not true at all !

"""""""""""""""""

In the real world , Roy was sitting in despair outside the morgue in the city hospital , as it turned out that you can't just simply pick up a dead body easily from it , even if you actually want to bury it , especially for Roy because he is not related to Klaus , it turned out you need more paper work , silly ... you need paperwork even if you are already dead !

So Roy sat there in the nearest lounge , then out of desperation he decided to break those silly rules , he picked up the phone and starts another conversation putting Klaus on hold , he called his friend Ed , the one who borrowed the car from ,

" hey Ed, how's it goin ??"

" oh hey Roy , guess what ? I found my car being towed just an hour ago and now I'm paying shitload of money to get it out ! " said Ed wrathfully

"yea I'm really sorry ,man .. I promise I'll pay you back , I had something urgent to deal with "

" yea , it's ok .. but you will pay the tickets as well !! "

"sure asshole , I will ... listen ummm I need you to help me with something "

"does it involve money ? "

" ...no. "

"ok then , what can I do ?"

" I need you to pick us up from the city hospital "

"us ?? who are you with ?"

" I meant me and ... Klaus "

" but Klaus is dead .."

" ..exactly , I need to transport his body "

"oh , I'm really sorry , really sorry for Klaus's death , but please don't look at me as if I was some kind of a monster or something but hell no , no dead body is getting into my car ! "

" c'mon man , don't be such a coward ! , his dad is an old man who couldn't walk to the hospital because he's hooked up to these machines back at his house and all he wants is to see his son one more time before they bury him and the hospital is really far and they don't ..." lied Roy while his pretending tone showed obviously

" ok stop , I know you're bluffing , jerk ... I don't know what you're up to but .. for Klaus's sake , I'm coming , do you have all the needed paper work to get'em out ? "

" ... yess " lied Roy

"" ok then , I'm on my way "

Meanwhile , a silky smooth light from a full moon broke it's beams as it went through a huge window , in front of the window was a single tree grew leafless inside a wide room with no furniture where dust glowed beautifully while it spread gently everywhere , on one of its branches sat a little girl facing the window humming an old childish song , in the girl's arms rested a teddy bear , she was petting it while swinging her legs back and forth

Klaus curiously walked towards her from behind , to try and take a glance of her face without her noticing , he kept as quiet as he could , until the girl stopped humming all of a sudden , Klaus froze in his place , but with a sweet innocent childish voice the girl spoke " I know you're there ... I can see your shadow " and a hollow echo repeated a couple of times after

"but how could she see my shadow if I was walking against the light ?" wondered Klaus in his mind , he looks behind him and sees a mirror on the place he entered from , "the mirror must have reflected the moon light , making another shadow in front of me " he figured , but wait! ... that actually makes sense ! , how could something make sense in such a nonsense world ?! that doesn't make any sense ! he knows dreams won't bound to any rules , but if it completely did , wouldn't that only mean that it bounded to a rule of not bounding to any rules ? maybe it's not about rules , maybe it's about not moving on a single pace or line , it's about reversing itself whenever it becomes obvious , twisting its ways so it would surprise us the most , until we give up predicting anything ... but that can't be true , because it's kind of what real life does , and this is not real life .."The best way to solve this puzzle is not by thinking about it " thought Klaus , because the more you think about things you shouldn't and will not know , the bigger your mistakes will become .
