In Lucien's dream, someone hugs his body. The arms placed around his waist were tight. He almost can't breath. Not to mention the heavy weight above him. Was he about to be squashed to death?
He find it difficult to breath. He tried to wiggle around, to remove the heavy weight and free himself. But the more he tried to escape, the tighter the hold around his waist become.
Was this person trying to crush his body?
The suffocation was too much for Lucien. He squirm and tried to break free.
…
He suddenly open his eyes. Bright light greeted his eyes and he have to squint just to look around. Towering trees filled his sight. He was in the same exact spot where the invisible squares were placed around them.
Except that they are no more dead bodies littered around. It was only him and the small body hugging tightly around his waist.
"What the - ?"
Mysterious man: I was waiting for you ~
Lucien: But I don't recognize you.
Mysterious man: It's okay. We have all the time in the world to get to know each other.
