章 97: Volume III - Chapter 18: The Game of Two Madmen

I tried to breathe in and out. The air was getting into my lungs, but every breath I took hurt, it was strange because I didn't expect to wake up suddenly in such a state.

I tried to move but my muscles wouldn't let me. My whole body was literally writhing.

Still... I'm alive, doesn't the fact that I can feel pain mean that I'm alive?

So I thought, how did I end up like this?

The last thing I remember is that Aiden and I were at one of the marked spots. After that... it's a blur, I don't remember anything.

"W- what..."

"Wake up, sweetheart! We're playing a very fun game here."

My vision suddenly changed, the sky that I had been seeing blurry suddenly turned dark. A tremendous pain from my right palm suddenly spread through my whole body, and tears flowed from my eyes.

The pain was so sudden that I couldn't even hold back my scream.
