I came to a place full of smoke in a daze, and there did not seem to be anyone around.
I walked alone on this deserted road. I wanted to speak, but there seemed to be a force in my throat that rendered me unable to speak.
I saw a familiar figure in the hazy smoke.
It was Theo!
I ran forward quickly, but the figure disappeared again.
I started looking around me. My feet seemed to be caught by something. I looked down, and there was a pile of weeds blocking my way. I reached my hands out and tried to sweep the weeds away, but when I saw my hands, I was shocked.
My hands were flickering, and when I looked down, the same was true for my lower body. It was looming as if it were about to disappear.
I shook my head and opened my mouth to speak, but I could not hear my own voice.
What was going on here?
I was stuck in this position, unable to move.
Suddenly, the smoke in front of me dissipated and Theo appeared again. However, why was Nicky beside him?
The two of them were hugging one another, looking very affectionate.
Immediately afterward, Tyler, Jerome, Xander, Cindy, and Zedd all appeared, but they were all surrounding Theo and Nicky, congratulating them and wishing them well.
I wanted to talk to them, but I could not open my mouth; I wanted to get closer to them, but I could not move.
I could only look at the happy smiles on their faces like this, helpless.
'No, it must be a dream. I have to wake up. I have to wake up.'
I closed my eyes tightly, put my head in my hands, and forced myself to wake up.
