Ken shot up out of bed, breathing heavily. His whole body was soaked in sweat and his right arm was dead. The sensation of pins and needles ran up his arm as the blood circulated once more.
His mind tried to process what he'd just experienced, but he had no words. The hurt that he felt was real, even if it was just a dream, seeing Ai look at him like that had all but broken him.
The appearance of the child who looked just like her was also shocking.
"Was this an alternate reality? Or was it the future?" Ken asked, hoping that it was neither. His throat was dry and his body was wet with sweat, he felt gross.
'Mika, what is happening to me?' He asked.

This was the most important workout of his life so far, there was no way that this was happening. Even as he stood up, Ken felt light headed.
"Isn't there anything you can do Mika?"
