"No, you don't. How could I possibly trust you!"
 
"I just want to make things easier. I promise I won't make it difficult for you. Anyway, don't you want to know all these oddities?"
 
Strangeness? Of course it was an important matter that Nakamori currently needed. Although he could not believe in the figure of the little boy, but his already unbearable curiosity made him not want to miss this opportunity.
 
Seeing that Nakamori seemed to be interested in knowing more, the little boy did not want to miss this opportunity...
 
"I'm on your side. Keep my word," the little boy said confidently.
 
Nakamori finally relented, he decided to listen to the little boy speak.

"Are you the figure I saw last time?" Nakamori vaguely recalled the figure that terrorized him back then.
 
"I didn't mean to make you feel that way." The little boy then extended his hand. "Now let's get officially acquainted. My name is Poppy and yours?" Poppy deliberately asked that question, even though she knew the answer better than anyone.
 
"I don't need to answer. You even seem to know more about things than I do."
 
"Don't be like that. I really wanted to get to know you. I apologize in advance for making you feel like you're being terrorized." Poppy smiled slightly. Whether her smile was a sincere apology or not, Nakamori couldn't like it at all.
 
"Honestly, you're so annoying. I can't see you in the right way." Nakamori gave Poppy a sharp look. "Please just tell me what you want to say. Don't beat around the bush."
 
Poppy held her face in her hands. She looked straight at Nakamori. "I'm going to get straight to the point, so I hope you can grasp it wisely. " Poppy snapped her fingers once, then said something like this, "I was the one who brought you here on purpose. But I did this, too, not purely because of my will alone. Your other self also had a hand in it, and all of this happened because of her wishes as well. I was merely helping her. The woman you saw in the flames was you but you were living in a different dimension-"
 
"Wait a minute! Did you say another dimension? Does that mean it's related to the future, I mean are we in the future right now?" interrupted Nakamori curiously. To be honest, the girl was still having trouble digesting Poppy's every sentence.
 
Poppy smiled. "I usually don't like to repeat myself or my previous explanations. But I hope that you can catch my words a little better. Luckily I like you more than 'him' so I'm much more patient with you."
 
"Who are you talking about?" interrupted Nakamori.
 
"You'll find out later not now." Poppy then glanced at Nakamori with a certain intent. "Can I continue?"
 
Understanding Poppy's code, Nakamori immediately stopped talking. She also decided not to interrupt the conversation too much.
 
"Before I begin any further explanation. May I call you Naka? I would feel very happy if you let me call you that."
 
"As you wish."
 
"That's very kind of you." Poppy sighed, "This world we're in now is just an illusion, including everyone in it. I created the illusion of all this based on the thoughts of the other you. I deliberately created an image of the other you to lure you here."
 
"Sorry to interrupt, but what is your purpose in doing all this?" Nakamori was getting impatient.
 
"There was no specific purpose at first. But I was strangely attracted to you. I only intended to help you."
 
"Thank you for your help. But why did you choose this strange way? And to be honest, I still don't understand the purpose you're referring to."
 
"There will be many terrible things in your life. I didn't really want to interfere with you. But in the end I decided to help you, I just wanted to help you to make it easier."
 
"Have I done anything so great or extraordinary that someone would do such a difficult job for me?" quipped Nakamori who didn't really believe it.
 
 
 
Poppy remained silent and did not reply. But she continued, "My purpose in making all of this is to make you understand a little bit about what's going to happen in the future in your life. In another dimension, you, who identifies as Irene, and your husband Saeran, who is also known as Michael. Both of you are people who have done something that might be called having a great influence on people's lives. And when you both made a bad final decision, it ended quite sadly. There was someone you once thought of as family, infatuated with you and decided to pursue you both to the end. But unfortunately because in the end you two, decided to end things unilaterally. He who cannot accept, is even willing to defy his destiny and wants to unite the two of you and himself to be together. But unfortunately it seems that his actions are enough to mess up a lot of people and circumstances. I honestly really want to punish that person. But ...." Poppy suddenly stopped her words. She then glanced at Nakamori. "Your other self begged me not to punish that person, and to give him a chance. I probably would have ended that person quickly, had it not been for your request."
 
"If you feel that all the chaos that will happen especially for the future is her. Why don't you put your feelings aside? Isn't it better to sacrifice your own feelings, for the good of others than to let your feelings take over?" Nakamori was beginning to catch on to the meaning of Poppy's words. It seemed like the problem really had something to do with that particular person.
 
Poppy tugged at the corners of her lips and looked like she was mocking. "Unfortunately, it's not that easy. I think this is the end of our conversation. I promise, I will pick you up from this world later for now, please be patient and absorb all the information in this world." After saying that, Poppy suddenly disappeared.
 
"I'm really going crazy, how can I be trapped in a strange world like this." Nakamori was really frustrated by all this nonsense.

"You shouldn't reveal everything, right?" A little girl stood in Poppy's way.
 
"None of your business Lily. Stay out of it!" Poppy pushed Lily away from her.
 
"I know you actually care about that girl. But if you trap her in a place like this, isn't it too dangerous?" Lily the little girl looked worried.
