I pulled my hand back after hearing Nakamori's explanation. It was true; the burn was slowly disappearing on its own, leaving a faded mark. I was dumbfounded to see that."What is the meaning of all this? Why are we feeling and seeing things that don't make sense?" I was confused.Nakamori shook his head. "I don't know either. It all feels like an endless nightmare. But we have to keep trying to find a way out of here."I nodded in agreement. "We have to stay calm and think clearly. Maybe there's a way to resolve this situation."We sat side by side, trying to contemplate a solution to this mysterious situation. Moments later, Nakamori suddenly stood up and pointed at the wall next to us."Look! There's something over there!" he exclaimed.I looked in the direction he was pointing and saw strange images carved into the wall. They seemed to be symbols and letters that I couldn't recognize. However, there was one picture that caught my attention. A picture of a door with the same red co

I looked at Nakamori with some hesitation. Although we had a slight difference of opinion, his offer sounded tempting. I nodded in agreement, considering I also wanted to take my mind off things and spend time with friends."Alright, thanks," I replied with a faint smile.The two of us left the bookstore and headed to a café not far away. The short trip was filled with light conversation. I wanted to admit that this girl was annoying, but still, her presence made me feel comfortable with her.We chose a cozy table in the corner of the cafe and sat facing each other. Nakamori called the waiter to order drinks, and within moments, a glass of hot tea and a cup of coffee arrived at our table.We started chatting about less serious things, chatting about the books we were reading, the movies we were watching, and school activities. It was a bit awkward at first, but as time went by, the atmosphere became more relaxed and comfortable.As we were engrossed in our conversation, Nakamori sudde

"If you want to go and find out the truth, come with me," the boy said, extending his hand to me.I looked at his hand hesitantly, but with curiosity, I couldn't contain, I finally took it. A strange cold feeling enveloped my body as my hand touched it.A moment after that, I felt a strange sensation. Like being sucked into an invisible stream of energy, the world around me changed. When everything returned to normal, I realized that we were in the same place but with a different atmosphere.The environment around me looked a little darker and gloomier. The buildings looked older and almost neglected. There was something that felt wrong in the air. I felt a strange energy vibration around me."Welcome to the parallel world," the boy said with a smile. "Here, reality is distorted, and we must be careful. This world is full of mysteries and unexpected dangers."I nodded, trying to understand the situation I was in. It was like stepping into a similar world but with stark differences. I

"Regarding the clue I found earlier, It's not a clue, but just a rough outline of what you want to know. I never led you to know the answer." She turned around and looked at me intently."You tricked me?" I growled and got angry at him. I felt that I had been deceived to this extent."Don't be angry. I've observed you well so far. I think you deserve to know the answer to all the bad things that happened to you. But unfortunately, you won't find them from me. You will only find out after you understand it sincerely and openly."She wanted to tell me something important. But she said it in such a difficult way. I don't think I'll be able to understand it that quickly. I need time to understand all this."What should I do now? I won't force you to give me an answer. But are you going to let me be here alone?" And this was one of the things I was thinking about—she had brought it this far. So would she just leave me in this strange place?Poppy didn't say a word. She turned around and sl
