**Chapter 7**
Ahmed:Bro, I could swear I heard someone talking earlier. She said her name was Dalia, and she was talking to Mark or something. So when I heard your name, I got confused—no offense, bro.
William:Well, that's kind of my problem. I always say "Willia" without the *M*, so maybe that's why you got confused.
Lavi: Or maybe because it was some kind of... fiction or something?
Ahmed:Yeah, especially since the door opened, and I think the world is starting to fall apart.
William: I've heard a lot of people say it's because the "Demon Rady" cursed the world, calling it "Pharaoh's Curse" because he came from there. Others say it's because of someone called "The Beginning of All Evil."
Ahmed: Yeah, I heard that too, but no one really knows who caused it. What was the other name they gave him?
Lavi: "Zero the Non"... What a stupid name.
Ahmed: Hahaha... totally agree.
William: Hahaha... So what brings you two here? You both sound fine. What's your story?
Ahmed: Our story is as complicated as the relationship between the sun and the moon. Anyway, I heard your idea—if the reader solves your problems, you won't go till the end. So I'll do the same thing, bro. If you and reader solves our problem, maybe we won't be stuck here anymore, and we can go down.
First, I'm Palestinian, and this matters more than you think, especially with my friend Lavi who is...
Lavi:Israeli.
William:Shit...
Ahmed:Yeah, shit indeed.
