บท 60: Red Strings of Fate

Lina woke up in the same cloudy realm as last time. This time, she was in a completely different scene. They were no longer standing on marble floors and pillars that reached high into the sky.

"Where is this?" Lina wondered out loud, standing at the top of a small staircase leading to a well with an enormous opening. Purple and blue water swirled in circles, like a powerful whirlpool sucking people in. 

The atmosphere was thick. Lina found it difficult to breathe. She clutched her throat, squinting her eyes at the sight of the well. A horrible ache stabbed her in the chest.

Lina buckled in pain. She felt like her heart was going to split open. The agony was so intense, she knew it was heartbreak. The worst that one could ever imagine. 

In the distance, there were still floating castles with white decorations and golden rooftops. She heard a loud scream in the distance and spun around.
