Chapter 858 - Solid Memory
“You’re back early, Jon! Muey hasn’t returned from school yet,” an old man greeted his visitor while sitting inside a bright room enclosed in glass walls.
“I earned vacation for finishing my research ahead of schedule. Can’t wait to see my family,” the visitor spoke in a charming man’s voice.
Angor was currently “attached” to the second man. He felt great emotions and excitement overwhelming his mind upon hearing the familiar accent and language.
He was with Jon.
Upon entering the dream, Angor found the owner of the dream walking down an empty street, both sides of which had beautiful maple trees planted. The bright red leaves falling off them suggested that it was autumn.
But there was only unending darkness beyond the trees. The lone street was the only thing that existed.
He couldn’t see Jon’s face or tell whether it was Jon at all at first, or whether the strange street was from Earth or some other places. This was until the silent pedestrian arrived at a small glasshouse at the end of the street.
As soon as the old man inside the house started talking, the empty area around the house started expanding until a large building complex came into view. Angor was now sure that this was Earth.
Sadness.
He thought his senses were off, which was soon proved otherwise when a drop of tear moved along Jon’s cheek.
Surprised, Angor watched the teardrop land on Jon’s boot.
It could be explained if Jon was crying out of joy for reuniting with his love, but that sorrowfulness didn’t fit in this context.
“Does Jon perhaps… know that this is a dream?”
