Chapter 109: Chapter 108 — Brian's lookalike

I woke up, feeling disoriented, and with my heart pounding in my chest. I blinked repeatedly, trying to clear my blurry vision. It was then that I realized that the sky had turned dark, and night had fallen.

Feeling upset with how the conversation had turned out, I had hoped that a short nap would help clear my mind, but I never expected to sleep so deeply.
