Ci Clank—
"I know a nice place."
Closing the door behind me, I followed Ren out of my apartment. After taking a look at our surroundings, we decided to move to a better place to talk. Simply put, my apartment was too filthy to stay in.
Just the stench of alcohol alone was enough to make the both of us want to leave.
As I followed Ren from behind, there were many questions that I wanted to ask him such as what was he doing here? And why was he in my apartment?...but, more than anything else, I finally felt calm.
Ren's presence and existence gave me a sense of calmness.
If he was here, it meant that everything that had happened to me wasn't merely some kind of dream. I wasn't in a coma, and I really did reincarnate back into that world.
'It's real.'
What I went through wasn't the fruition of my imagination.
Knowing this, I was able to recompose himself.
