"Ugh…"
"Ah!"
I blinked as the warmth of sunlight spilled across my face. My head rested against the back of a chair, tilted upward.
And above me, a woman's face hovered close with her golden gaze locked onto mine.
"...."
The moment our eyes met, I froze.
Ba… Thump!
My heart skipped a beat as I realized now why people trapped within a spirit's delusions refused to escape of their own volition.
"So much for trying to wake you up," she said, giggling.
"...."
There were so many things I had turned a blind eye to.
So many truths I refused to accept. So many denials I clung to, buried deep in fear that confronting them would tear my heart apart.
She straightened, brushing a lock of hair behind her ear. "What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost."
"...."
I couldn't speak.
