Chapter 24
"So when will this dream or something of that sort end. I am getting accustomed to this no gravity floating feeling, and I do not if it is a good thing. And this is going on for too long."
"It will stop whenever you want it to stop. Just stop thinking about this and try to wake up."
"That did not work before,though."
"It will now."
"Okay let me try." I try to make my mind go bla-
"Haaaaaa" I open my eyes and wake up with a loud scream. I feel cold, why so? Is it because of the dream?
Oh. I touch my forehead with my hand, it turns out that I was sweating too much and the cold wind coming through the open window is literally really giving the chills.
Was it always open? I wonder.
It is too cold here, at night though. I do not really know how it is in day,
"I hope it will not be too hot.." I say to myself as I make my way to the open windows.
*Creak* The windows close with a sound. I guess they have not been used in a while. That would explain the loud creaking sound it just made, probably the last person who stayed in this room must have forgot to close the windows before he left.
*Sigh* I sigh as I look through the windows, it is really beautiful to look at the night sky. Was it all a dream? Did I have a nightmare?
*No, and you should go to sleep Duero*
I guess it was not just a dream, huh. Off to bed then. Good night, Ryouku.
*Good night*
Talking like this through my mind is kind of awkward, to be honest. I hope I get used to it.
I tuck myself in and close my eyes.
*He- hey...* what is that sound? It must have been my imagination *Hey hey…*
There it is again! Wait.. am I dreaming? No, I think I am not. But my eyes are closed.
*Hey!* What the-?! I burst open my eyes, "wait, what huh?! Where am I?! What is going on?!!" I get up fast as possible and stay on alert.
"What is the problem?! Are we in danger or something?!"
*No*
Then? Is there any kind of problem then?
*No, not really but you were not waking up so….*
What?!! All that screaming just to wake me up?
*Yeah. I do not how to wake people up*
What do you mean by you do not know how to wake people up?
*I mean it is pretty obvious I do no-*
It is a rhetorical question. Did you not say that you were inside my mind all these years, ever since I was born? So why do you not know how to wake people up?
*I did not check that part. And besides, I see what you see, when you close your eyes I could not see what was happening at that time, meaning that if you are sleeping then I am sleeping too*
Fine then. I am awake, I am awake. One hell of a scream though.
*How do you wake people up then?*
Well if I said to do it gently, then I probably will not get up in a million years. So keep doing what you just did and who knows, one day I will stop getting scared too much like that.
Let us get ready, our first at work in another strange world, probably. I need to freshen up now, what about you Ryouku?
*I live inside your mind, what might I need?*
Just asking, got to check on you, you know. You are like a roommate now, or mindmate? Or something.
*Ooh, yeah I guess it does, huh. I did not think of that. Interesting.*
Do not think about it too much. It is a pleasure to live with you Ryouku, I hope we get along pretty well, I really do.
*It is a pleasure to live with you too, Duero*
Just call me Due. You have lived inside me for what 48 years, right?
*48, yeah. Okay Due, pleasure to live with you.*
Let us explore this world together but first.
*First?*
I got to brush my teeth and take a bath.
I brush my teeth real quick and take a towel to go and bath.
Ryo.
*Yeah, what is it, Due?*
Do not talk to me or just even talk while I am in the bathroom okay. Not now not ever. You got me?
*Yeah but may I ask why though? What is the reason for that?*
Do not ask for the reason. It- it is just too awkward.
*Okay but I do not understand*
That is for the better.
I get into the bathroom and take a shower in the medieval like bathroom.
They have shower. I do not what I had expected or if I even expected anything.
I freshen up and come out of the bathroom.
