I had spent a hundred days in Ryan Castle.
Every day, the grandmother would come and ask me, "Have you decided?"
Her question was asked so casually, as if, like her, someone secluded from the world, she had seen through everything.
The loves and hates, the separations and resentments of the world, she could stay detached, like an audience in a movie theater.
The grandmother said if I wanted to know what had happened in my past life, all I needed to do was to swallow the medicine she gave, and then I would fall into a deep sleep.
In that dream, I could see everything that occurred in my past life.
I was excited—I would finally know what had happened in my previous life! The knot in my heart that I couldn't untie could finally be loosened.
But…
"When will I wake up?"
However, when I asked the grandmother this question, she just shook her head, smiled, and said nothing.
Her mysterious demeanor was just like when I first met her.
