In his subconscious, Regen stood tall with confidence. "I will no longer hide you," he told the voice inside him. "We are complementary parts of ourselves. I will become stronger by accepting you."Back in the real world, Graiss saw Regen become calmer in his sleep. The anxious expression on his face began to disappear.***"Did I speak in my sleep earlier?" asked Regen worriedly.Graiss nodded. "You were babbling."Regen sighed heavily. His consciousness was really getting worse now. He knew very well that it seemed like he was starting to realize something was wrong with himself.Regen felt really messed up. Especially when he remembered how his other self appeared in his dreams."I really feel terrible right now Graiss," Regen muttered desperately. For some reason he felt like he was undergoing a violent onslaught. The turmoil felt so intense inside his head."Are you okay, Regen?" Graiss was really worried about Regen's condition.Regen did not answer, he just held his head and lo
I don't know why. But lately, I feel that I'm feeling strange. My feelings as well as my thoughts feel so chaotic, it's like I can't control myself."Are you okay?" asked Lily, the little girl I helped when she dropped her fruit basket. Since then, that little girl has been hanging out with me."No, I'm not. I've been feeling weird lately," I complained.Lily was silent, and somehow in my eyes, she looked like she knew something but didn't want to tell me.I really wanted to ask her, but the sensitive Lily seemed to be trying to divert it. It was like she didn't want to tell me and just changed the subject."Do you know something Lili?"Lily just kept quiet. But her gestures showed that she felt like she was agitated.Seeing Lily's reaction, I felt even more curious about what was really going on. However, I also felt bad about forcing her to tell me what she knew. Maybe there was some reason why she didn't want to tell me.But it seemed like Lily just felt more and more uncomfortable
They're the ones burning in my life. I feel very frustrated. Could it be that this is one of the feelings that makes me feel restless.I myself was never sure whether I could be said to be living my life well or not. My parents, my friends, or anyone else in my life. I don't know why I feel unsure.I feel like my life is full of people who only ruin my happiness. They often make me feel emotionally up and down, and I don't understand why I can't break away from them.Maybe I love people too much and let them into my life without determining what I really want. Or maybe I was too afraid of appearing selfish if I decided to separate from them.However, I realized that life is only once and I have to fight for my own happiness. I have to learn to detach myself from the people who are poisoning my mind and determine who is worth keeping in my life.Maybe it's time to evaluate the relationships in my life and fix what needs to be fixed. I believe that by taking action like this, I can achi
"Want to see something else?" the figure asked me.I swallowed. It seemed like this figure had a tremendous influence. Not only did he show me how horrible things could happen. He seemed to open me up to see everything that didn't make sense and I always refused to believe.And it was all proven when he took me to a place. He took me to a mental hospital."Are you ready?" he asked me.I gulped once more. No, I wasn't ready. But my fear couldn't stop the curiosity inside me. I nodded slowly, and we walked towards the entrance of the asylum.We went through the dark and forbidding hallways. The atmosphere was eerie, with faint whispering voices and steps heard in the distance. My heart was racing, anxiety engulfing me, but I continued my steps steadily.The figure opened the door to the first room. I entered the room hesitantly, and inside stood several patients with unnatural facial expressions. Some were smiling madly, some were constantly trembling, some were talking incessantly. Loo
Just because I saw those traumatic events, did it make me falter? I feel like I'm being played, my heart and mind are really being played. I... I don't want things like this to keep happening.I stared at the mysterious figure intently. "Hey... are you doing all this on purpose to make my heart waver?" I accused her.The mysterious figure looked at me with a mysterious smile. "Are you sure that I'm responsible for all this?" she said in a low voice.I frowned, confused by his answer. "Who else could have done it? I don't understand why I have to keep being haunted by these traumatic events. Do you want to hurt or test me?"The mysterious figure shook his head, "I am not the cause of all this. I am merely a mirror that shows you what is in your heart. Don't look outside, look inside yourself."Her words made me even more confused. I began to ponder and rethink what she said. After a while, I realized that it was true. The trauma and uncertainty actually came from the decisions and atti
For some reason, the face of the woman who had appeared many times before now began to fill my head."My mother... you want to show me how the memories of my mother aren't that scary, so that I can open up, right?"I tried to banish the image of that face from my mind, but it seemed to be getting harder and harder. I felt disturbed and anxious, as if there was something I should know but couldn't reach. I tried to recall memories of my mother, but all that came up were vague and indistinct images.I couldn't connect the dots, which frustrated me even more. "What should I do?" I muttered to myself.Just as I was trying to gain consciousness to focus on what to do, a soft voice suddenly sounded in my ear. "Mom is always by your side, even if it's only in memories now. Don't worry, open your heart, and let the memories with Mom shine in your life."It would have been a relief if it had been the real thing. But unfortunately, it was just wishful thinking. I turned to Lily and stared at he
"Lily I will never really leave. However, remember this one thing: you"Lily I will never really leave. However, remember this one thing: you can never purify me. You're only trying to cause yourself more harm by forcing me to live according to your wishes." I stared at Lily as if she were just a dark shadow in my heart.I hate reality. I hate miracles. But I always knew clearly why those feelings were so lingering. The answer was only one: it was because of my incompetence that things were difficult. And I started blaming everything. That's how I made my heart hurt less.***"I told you. Isn't taking care of humans the same as making things difficult?" Poppy gave Lily a disappointed look.Lily laughed bitterly. "I knew that. Even before you told me. But how could I possibly let my feelings pass me by?""You're stupid." Poppy tried to help Lily up. She glanced at Lily's scar. "You might ignore it. But I'm sure it must hurt like hell.""It doesn't hurt because you're showing me you car
I raised my hand and saw that there was blood there. My hand was covered in blood...I don't know where the blood came from. But... I'm very familiar with this feeling.My heart raced as I looked at my bloodied hands. It was very difficult for me to ignore that feeling, as if I had experienced it before. Then, my memory suddenly felt so shocking.I vaguely recalled stabbing someone and leaving them seriously injured.This blood on my hand seemed to symbolize that memory again. The pain and sadness associated with that loss felt so strong within me. I felt an emptiness in my heart, as if nothing could fill my life again.The blood on my hands reminded me of a wound that hadn't fully healed. But underneath the sadness, I also felt an indescribable connection to the person who had left. There seemed to be a tenderness amongst this blood, sweeping away the sadness in my heart. I felt a sense of calm in this sadness.Looking at my bloodstained hands, I remembered that life is a journey fill
