Chapter XXVI:

Chapter XXVI: Invitation of the King. 

"Why do you have to do this? Aren't we close together?" 

Alice is currently having a nightmare. She was inside a dark place where she couldn't escape.

Anywhere she runs, even she attempts to escape. She can't do anything but listen to the crawling voices that surround her.

Alice starts to waver when she sees a person standing before her, although she can't see the mysterious person's face. She can see blood drifting out through a deep cut of the person.

"I didn't do it. It wasn't me! No…" She began to feel solitary to herself. Covering her ears. Soon, her tears flowed in her cheek. "I don't know anything-" 

"...!" Alice abruptly opened her eyes. She was covered with sweat and just like in her nightmare, her tears are able to be seen within her eyes. Syaoran was intensely looking at her while she was breathing heavily.
