Right next to me, Palinchron continued speaking in his disinterested tone despite the blood spilling out of him.

“Hey...do you remember, my friend? Before we parted ways in Laoravia I said to you, ‘I can make your and Maria’s wishes come true. But will you still look for a lie?’ At that time you were certainly happy. But still, you shook your head. ‘The lies must be exposed,’ you said, and ‘lies won’t save anyone.’ And just as you promised, you escaped from that prison and came here...”

A chill ran down my spine at his strangely calm voice.

“I understand perfectly. In short, kind lies aren’t effective on you. Things like happiness and tranquility are meaningless. That’s how it is, huh? Then, well...this time will be the complete opposite. I’ll show you unhappiness and anxiety.”

My whole body felt like it was frozen. Of course, I still hadn’t touched a drop of his blood, meaning that this wasn’t the power of the Thief of Darkness’s Essence.

“Mr. Kanami?!” Maria yelled, sensing my strangeness since we were holding down Sith together. Palinchron, just out of reach, continued to laugh, and I fell into the hallucination that my heart was being gripped tightly.

“Ha ha, this is what was waiting on the deepest level. Are you bracing yourself for it? This is the thousand-year-old truth.” He smiled sickeningly, and I couldn’t tell if he was teasing me or actually worried. With those words, the aurora in the garden grew stronger. The light from the leyline reached for the heavens and completely filled my vision. It wasn’t just my eyes that were dazzled—even Dimension was blinded. All of my senses were swallowed by the light as if they’d been painted over. I stared. It was like the world around me had been completely changed.

The thousand-year truth that Palinchron had mentioned...

It was raining again. There stood the large castle that was now familiar to me. Rain was falling hard outside the window. Raindrops continued to pound the walls of the castle, creating a noisy din. In the main hall was a group of four boys and girls. It was the same setup as in my previous dream, but there was one thing that was glaringly different from the memory I’d seen before. Last time, the mood had been jovial, but this time it was totally different.

Looking closely, Tiara’s body had grown almost a size larger. Even though the other three hadn’t aged, she had gotten a little taller. It was difficult to tell whether time had passed in between this memory and the previous one.

Surprisingly, the man wasn’t wearing his mask. And, as I’d expected, he looked exactly like me. That man, who could only be Aikawa Kanami, was sitting on the stone floor. He was holding a girl’s body. It must have been Aikawa Hitaki. She looked strange in his arms, covered in icicles and frozen like an ice sculpture. But more than that, there was something odd about her limbs. Her skin wasn’t flesh-colored, but pure black. Dark, hard-looking scales were growing in rows.
