HAVE FUN

     The hands dragged me down, and I entered that strange realm. As soon as I formed from the smoke and my foot touched the ground, I saw Karma and Myata. They were walking in the opposite direction, unaware of my presence. That giant floating monster thing wasn't here… thank God. I had no idea how Myata would react to that. Or Karma – she'd probably attack the monster and aggravate it, making everything worse for herself and her sister.

I began walking quietly without announcing my presence. Karma had put a protective hand around Myata's shoulder, pulling her closer as they moved.

Seeing them like that reminded me of an old memory… Time flows fast, huh?

"Nostalgic," I murmured to myself.

"Hey!" Karma yelled suddenly, her voice echoing in the eerie silence. "Is anyone there?"

"Hello!" Myata screamed, her voice quivering. "If there's someone, please say something!"

"If you can hea –" Karma turned around and saw me. "Oh, shit. Axel!"
