A phrase from Prometheus’ website flashed through his mind: "We must stop the end with human power." It talked about gathering strength to prevent the end. A cold shiver ran down the back of his neck. If what Lee Sayoung said was true, wasn’t that itself a sign of the end approaching?

“So… you don’t even know when it will happen?”

“No. No one does. But…”

Sayoung’s violet eyes stared into the dark void.

“Our worlds are gradually merging… so it’ll come faster than it did for me.”

“……”

“As a world that should’ve been erased continues to merge, your world will increasingly resemble the destroyed one. As that happens, more people will start recalling past memories. Fear, once imprinted on the soul, works that way.”

And as fear spreads, the end comes closer. Uijae swallowed hard, his throat feeling tight, making it uncomfortable to swallow. Sayoung tapped his temple with his dark fingers.

“It’s best to be prepared. Though even preparation might be difficult…”

It was a dilemma. To stop the end, they needed to unite their strength. But the more they did that, the faster the end would approach. Uijae let out a sigh. It was overwhelming. No easy answers presented themselves, but even so, he had to do something. He had already sworn—he had promised to see it through.

Looking down at the Sayoung resting in his arms, Lee Sayoung tilted his head slightly.

“Right. Once we get out of here… how about going to see Yun Gaeul?”

The unexpected name made Uijae widen his eyes.@@novelbin@@
