An unknown number of repetitions followed.
After she says ‘I’ll be back soon,’ she leaves the door. He stares at the closed door for a long time and then kicks the door out.
The closer you get to her, the more her body breaks down. Just like in the last moments of a previous life, it is now becoming the body of a person who will soon die.
nevertheless it doesn’t stop She crawls into the pit where she collapses.
The moment I find her and reach out my hand, time rewinds.
Vera licked his lips as he came back from the shack as he opened the door and entered.
‘It’s Grimore.’
It was certain.
This is the illusion created by [Whisper of the Dreamer].
The only thing I can’t help but think about is, aren’t these situations exactly the same as Miller said while coming to the academy?
– This is a real vicious Grimoire. It stimulates the trauma inside a human being and shows only one scene constantly. It gnaws and gnaws at the mind like that, and in the end turns it into a nutrient that has lost its will!
Clearly, as Miller said, it was a grimour that was so vicious.
Even though I know this is a hallucination, my mind is shaken by the repeated scenes.
Vera added strength to his chewing lips.
puffy-.
He chewed hard enough to make a sound, making blood flow.
Then, little by little, control of his body was returning.
‘We must find a saint.’
I had to get out of here and save Renee. This is how much she has already gone through before and after childbirth, but what about Renee, who hasn’t lost all the energy of a girl yet? You will be in a greater fear than yourself.
Vera made an angry face, recalling what Miller had said.
-What else is terrible? This dream is not awakened by recognizing it. And it doesn’t end when you leave the scene! For example, it is a dream with ‘continuity’. If you cross one junction of the dream, another infinite loop at the next junction, and beyond that, another loop at the next junction. My head hurts and I die~ This is it.
– Is there no way out?
– Well, there must be. All you have to do is clear all the junctions. In the end, as the background of the dream is his own memory, after seeing all the situations he remembers, Grimore, who has no more hallucinations to create, breaks the dream.
As Miller said, this would be the ‘first turning point’.
The clear condition is probably… .
‘… To prevent Renee from heading out that door.’
Rene in Episode 1 fumbled toward the door and opened her mouth.
“I will be back soon.”
He made a promise he could never keep.
Vera regained his consciousness by the sight, and then he regained consciousness by chewing it hard enough to tear his lips apart.
did it and said
“sleep… Knock.”
Stop.
Renee’s body stopped. She turned her head back. and asked with a smirk.
“Why?”
The burn marks are distorted with a clear voice. An expression that should be called a smile.
Vera’s pupils fluttered at it.
The smile she had not seen in a long time, the light that did not fade even in this ugly cave, evoked nostalgia.
I have to say something, but the moment I recognize that voice and smile, all accidents stop.
In the still image, Miller’s laughter-filled voice spoke as if ridiculing Vera.
-Well, that’s easy to say, but in reality it’s close to impossible. Grimour doesn’t just stimulate trauma.
– What do you mean?
– A hallucination that you can’t get out of even knowing it. is to make it. When you realize that it is a hallucination and try to escape, you stimulate the weakness that exists within the person suffering from the hallucination. So that I can’t escape even though I know this is a dream, so that I want to stay in this dream forever.
Now, he began to put a wedge into words that could best describe his condition.
-It shows a moment of longing for some and regretful to others. He said, ‘If you are in this dream, you can make that wish come true’.
“If you have nothing to say, I will leave.”
Renee’s words echoed.
Vera got up and ran to her, with a wretched look on her face, like a child looking for her mother. grabbed my wrist
“Wait, wait… .”
A look of surprise appeared on Renee’s face, which stopped and shook.
The moment Vera was about to say something to it.
“Are you able to get up now?”
As if Renee had been through something happiest than anything else, he said those words in a voice as if he had everything in the world.
“Look at it. Did I say I would be able to get up?”
The burn marks flutter and he recalls a bright smile. Renee’s hand reached out slowly and touched Vera’s.
Vera frowned and nodded involuntarily, feeling the jaggedly squished hands and the sound of laughter rolling in marbles choking his breath.
*
A shack that looks like it will collapse at any moment. Vera looked at Renee in that space, with only a few pieces of rotted and mangled trash filled with equipment.
She continued to pray, holding the rosary in her hand, where she had always leaned on her back.
It reminded Vera that it felt like he was really back in that moment.
Vera pushed himself.
It’s not the time to be like this, it’s time to cross the next junction. I tried to think like that.
“… Aren’t you hungry?”
Unable to find a way to get rid of the hallucinations in front of him, Vera just wrinkled his face.
“… Okay.”
The words that come out are half-words. It was a tone that I did because I did not want to acknowledge her, and I wanted to say that all of this was a hallucination.
However, the intentional words only evoked nostalgia for Vera, as if he had been transported back to that moment even more.
Renee adjusted her posture and sat down. He turned his head to Vera.
“Now that you say you are able to raise your body, don’t overdo it yet. Eating well and sleeping well will help you feel better. So, if you are hungry, please give me a shout out.”
… He spoke in a soft voice like an adult.
Vera said, recalling his unintentional anger at it.
“… Do not imitate.”
“What do you mean?”
“You are a dreamer of a dream. it’s ugly garbage It means distinguishing between what four years dare to imitate.”
The expression on his face looked like he was about to kill Renee at any moment.
At that, Renee answered with a ‘puffy’ and smirked.
“Oh, did you have such a dream? like that… It must have been a very scary dream.”
He opened his arms and opened his arms.
“Come on, come here. I will read it all. No more scary dreams.”
“Shut up.”
“Swearing is not good. Words are the vessel of man. If you say such harsh words, your personality might get worse.”
“I said shut up. The more you play, the more I will tear you apart.”
“Would you like to do that?”
Renee tilted her head to the side and asked. The facial expression created as the burn marks were pushed back was truly a smile like hers.
“Come to think of it, he said he would grind my cheeks when I got up from my bed. Maybe now is the chance.”
Renee got up. Slowly he approached Vera. Vera’s body stiffened and stiffened.
The distance you can reach with your arms outstretched. Rene approached and opened her mouth.
“Come on, try it. I am willing to give this body up for you, who is now able to stand up.”
Vera’s breath stopped. The pupil is dilated.
I clenched my fists. It was an action he had done to even punch him in the thoughts of an unsubstantiated dreamer.
“… It’s like garbage.”
couldn’t do it
The only thing he could do was scream with a terrifying sound.
Vera’s expression crumpled.
Renee smiled even more at that, and nodded.
“If you change your mind at any time, let me know.”
These are also words that she could have said in her memory.
Vera bit his lip, trying to ignore it.
*
I don’t know how much time has passed.
All Vera has done so far has been to sharpen the blade and end the dealings with her.
“How are you today?”
“Four years doesn’t matter.”
“If I don’t care, who will?”
“Shut up, you whore.”
“Oh my, was it possible to do such a thing with such a body?”
“Something like trash.”
“It’s not wrong. After all, living a damn life is right.”
The hallucination was indeed like her in memory.
A soft tone, yet a word that never loses a single word, and a smile that never fades in the midst of this. Vera was making the Renee exactly as he remembered it.
Vera, unable to admit it, asked in an angry tone.
“Where is the next turning point?”
“I don’t know what you are asking.”
“Don’t take the shichimi. Don’t you think you’re going to eat me again? It’s telling you to do something. I will trample all of them, stand up, and leave this place.”
“Well, that’s a good deal. Life is about overcoming the winds and waves you deserve and standing on your own.”
The heat spread out.
Those words will fill you with anger at yourself who feel nostalgic.
Vera added, clenching his fists.
“Ugly.”
“If you’re talking about looks, as I said before, until my body is like this, anyone can see it… .”
bang-!
Vera hit the ground hard with his fist. Then, in a very angry voice, he let out a scream that sounded like a scream.
“Shut up!”
“I don’t like it.”
stop-.
Vera’s body stopped.
At that, Renee continued with a deep smile.
“How can I spare my words when I face you, who speaks so lively.”
Vera’s expression shook. Shortly thereafter, Vera, chewing on his lips, spoke in a stifled voice.
“… It’s not something four years have done.”
“Yes that’s right. You did it because you did not give up your will to live.”
Renee said so, covered her mouth with her hand, and smiled softly as she continued.
“Now that you have worked so hard to survive, I must pray that you will use that life worthy of it.”
“I will do it even if four years don’t tell me.”
Vera did the trick, then continued with a piercing stare at Renee.
“You know? As I swore to a real saint, not four years, as I made a promise to myself, I tried to become a good man. He has lived by pushing himself for evil thoughts. That’s how I just got here. We are just getting ready to get closer to the light.”
Vera himself did not know why he was saying this to her.
This could be the reason why I wanted to excuse myself for not being shaken by that image.
I’m living for the real Renee, so maybe that’s why I wanted to say your words are of no value to you.
However, what is certain is that Vera, who is speaking now, is feeling a choking feeling.
“… I’m just getting ready to approach. It was possible because there is a saint who believes that even in a country like this one can become a good man. So I will go back. I will go back to the saint and prove that four years is an illusion.”
Ironically, Vera felt as if she was telling her something she hadn’t been able to tell.
That was Vera’s mistake.
This was something that shouldn’t have been said.
When she heard these words, the reaction she made was the words she said while smiling while distorting her image.
“I am very happy.”
The words that shook Vera even harder.
“You can definitely do that. So, starting today, I can pray for it, right?”
What was said was that Vera ‘maybe’ now that this might not be a hallucination, maybe he was actually meeting Renee from the previous episode. It was a word that made me think like that.
