"I'm grateful to you. I hope you find happiness in yourself, too. I pray sincerely for you," she said filled with sincerity.
 
Regen smiled as he took her hand and pressed it against his cheek. "Thank you also for praying for me. I hope you're doing well too," Regen replied no less sincerely.
 
The woman then whispered in Regen's ear. Then she covered the young man's eyes with the palm of her hand. After that, everything went dark...

Fishy... the fishy smell was so strong and pierced the nose. Regen now woke up in a strange place that was no less scary than before. If before, he felt like he was in a mental hospital. Then this time he felt like he was in an old unused laboratory. At least that was what Regen could perceive at the moment.
 
"I'm lost now and I don't know how long I'll be stuck in a strange place like this," he complained desperately. Regen felt tired and like he was being trapped in a strange place over and over again.
 
As he continued to walk, his eyes accidentally caught an object that looked like a black shadow running fast. Finding the strange object, caught by his eyes made him immediately run towards the object, without thinking.
 
Bastard... why is he running so fast! Regen thought irritably. The young man felt very overwhelmed and could hardly run anymore. His energy was completely drained.
 
Regen, who had previously continued running, now slowed down his pace. Finally, he stopped right in front of two large tubes.
 
What is this? he said to himself. Regen observed the tubes for a moment and how surprised he was, to find an almost destroyed human body inside there.
 
In one of the tubes, there was a human body whose condition was similar to a corpse that was almost destroyed by decomposition. But strangely, the human body seemed to be attached to strange machines. There were many wires attached to the body.
 
Regen approached one of the tubes more closely. He wanted to make sure. How surprised he was to find that the human body was still breathing. Even though it was clear that the human body was almost destroyed, strangely he was still breathing. In his mind, Regen thought the figure was a human brain-eating monster, like those in fiction stories.
 
Frightened Regen then slowly retreated and then left the area. Now he continued to walk in an uncertain direction. He was confused about where to go. He just let his feet continue to walk in an uncertain direction. Hoping to find an exit to get away from this horrible place.
 
"Hell or heaven, which would you choose?" A voice appeared and gave a strange question to answer.
 
Regen turned around and automatically looked for the origin of the voice, but he found nothing.
 
"HOI WHO ARE YOU? PLEASE COME OUT AND SHOW YOURSELF!" exclaimed Regen.
 
He didn't hear the voice again until 5 minutes later when a similar voice answered.
 
"Keep walking straight and open the red door in front of you!" commanded the mysterious voice.
 
Regen obeyed the voice's orders, until finally he found a red door appearing. Finding the door, Regen immediately opened it wide.

"Graiss?" Regen was surprised to find the little girl inside the room.
 
"Oh, Regen?" Graiss herself also looked confused and surprised. She then ran over to Regen. "What's going on? Why are you here?" she asked curiously.
 
"I don't know why I'm here either. You... you're not hurt?" Regen was a little panicked about Graiss' condition. He was afraid that something would happen to the little girl.
 
"I'm fine. I don't know why I'm here either. When I parted with you earlier, I went to my room to sleep. The next thing I knew, I opened my eyes because I heard someone screaming, and suddenly I was in this strange room," Graiss said.
 
"Didn't you notice anything strange, like a black shadow?"
 
Graiss shook her head. "Nothing."
 
Regen sighed heavily. He was slightly relieved that Graiss had not encountered the creepy figure. But that relief did not last long. Now someone who looked like him was standing not far from him and Graiss. The figure pointed a gun at Graiss.
 
"Graiss stay away!" Suddenly Regen immediately pushed Graiss and let himself be hit by the shot.
 
Regen immediately fell. The shot hit him straight in the heart.
 
Regen! Regen!" Graiss shook Regen's body. She tried to resuscitate Regen but not long after, she felt someone shoot right at her head. Suddenly, everything went dark and there was nothing to see.

"Huh?!" Regen opened his eyes and found Graiss asleep in his arms. The young man immediately checked his chest to see if there was a gunshot wound there. After confirming it he found nothing there. He breathed a sigh of relief and realized that he was now in his room.
 
"Uh ...." Graiss squirmed and soon woke up. The little girl stared at Regen for a long time and was surprised to find that he was still okay. "Thank goodness... hiks... hiks... you're okay ...." Graiss cried as she hugged Regen's body tightly. She was scared to death just before, seeing the young man fall after being shot in the chest.
 
"Calm down Graiss, I'm fine." Regen gently stroked Graiss' head. He tried to calm her down. Although in his own heart, there was still a little fear.
 
"I... I... was afraid you'd die. Just now... I saw you get shot right in your chest... hiks ...." Graiss recounted the events she had previously experienced, as she saw Regen dying before her eyes. "How horrible ...."
 
Regen tightened his embrace on Graiss even more. There were no words he could say to calm, Graiss at this time all he could do was hug Graiss tightly trying to calm her down.
 
He realized that the nightmare felt so real. He was also the same as Graiss feeling scared. But at the moment, he didn't want to think about it. He just hoped that this fear could subside slowly.

"What do you think it is?" asked Regen curiously as he poured hot tea into his cup.
 
"A silly nightmare," Fallen replied in a lazy voice.
 
Regen bit his lip in annoyance. Dealing with Fallen often made him feel sultry. "I'm asking you!" Regen unconsciously snapped at Fallen.
 
"Is this how you behave when talking to others?" quipped Fallen as she sipped her tea quietly.
