Whaaaaaat?! Is she for real? What does she even mean? Going back to my world. With whom? By myself? What does it mean to stay forever in this world? I don’t get it.

The flames continued to spread across the room in all directions. Elany prepared herself for another spear attack.

Out of expectation, I saw the street lamp next to me. And Emiko threw me upwards, into the street lamp?!

I tried to grab the edge of the street lamp as I refused to not be able to make a choice by myself, but it was as if there was nothingness. I was pulled into the street lamp and then I saw nothing. Yet, I could still feel my body. This time, I wasn’t in a temporary different state. So I tried fighting back, slowly trying to get back to the direction I came from. Easier said than done, considering I didn’t know in this darkness where I am even going.

And then, I sort of found an exit. I hit the ground hard and I found myself at that place. The bridge. In the real world.

Fuuuuuuuuuck!

Just after screaming internally, I realized that there was a lot of traffic around here. Hell, the bridge itself was locked down by the police. And I was in the midst of it.

“Hey, you! Return to the markings or you will face punishment! You better get going before I think otherwise!”

I directionlessly walked towards a point of the markings, leaving the site.

I was lucky enough for the policeman to not see that I flew out of the street lamp. But what am I going to say to my dad?

Instead of going home, I used a bit of coin change from my pockets to get some food and observe if the street lamp changes to the cartoon style like back when I met Emiko. However, as dawn broke, I lost all hope of it happening.

Will I ever get to see her again?
