Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Children in the Dark

A pitch black space surrounded the environment, but for some peculiar reason, an image of a silver-haired boy sitting in a corner while hiding within his knees was perfectly visible, only that there was no "true corner".

It would be safe to say that anyone who somehow ended in this place would find themselves flabbergasted at the circumstances.
