Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 632 - Louis & dark memory
...***...
Louis tried to figure out a way to open the box. Again he went around the box. But Louis could not find a gap to enter at all.
The box was closed, there were only windows with bars, and no doors at all. It was as if Rei was already inside there when the ice box was made.
I can't get it out…
Hows it? I should what?
Louis tried to think of a way. He then swam under the sea to check it might be another gap.
But as soon as he looked at the bottom, instead of looking at the door or something, Louis found another chain that bound the box.
Louis went swimming. Moving towards the bottom, following the chain he saw.
The chain leads to the bottom of the sea. The darkest and deepest place in there.
Louis finally gave up as he felt the pressure of the temperature being so low. But from where he was now, Louis could at least see that the chain was leading to a place deeper than he had imagined. A place he could not reach.
Louis returned to the surface. Approaching the box where Rei was locked up. As soon as he stood there, Louis looked back into the box.
Louis saw Rei unconscious. He tried hard to resuscitate Rei.
Seeing Rei who did not respond at all, making Louis finally try to return to free him. He was absolutely certain this time, that the Rei inside was the real Rei.
Rei who had been looking for him since.
It turns out..., is this the reason why I saw her cry? Master's locked up in here again. Where he was most afraid.
Ocean despair. The place where he was reduced, shackled, isolated for years without ever being able to be free…
I have to get him out. I should be able to free him from inside here…
Louis shouted back. Trying to resuscitate the unconscious Rei.
After a long time of shouting, Louis was finally able to see Rei who was now awake and opened his eyes slowly.
"Sir.., you're finally conscious."
"Louis…"
"Calm down, I'll try to let you go. I'm gonna try to free you from the inside…"
"Can't." Rei shook his head. The man's face from the beginning looked gloomy. "You can't set you free."
"What do you mean?"
"There will never be anyone who can free me from inside here except myself…"
"What's? But how can you free yourself, if you yourself are bound like this?"
"One day I'll find a way, Louis…"
"But, sir.." Louis clenched his hands tightly together. He saw Rei smiling at him, although Louis could clearly see that the man was in the torment.
"I'm really grateful to you, Louis. I'm really lucky to have you by my side…"
"Sir…"
Louis was awakened from his daydream. That memory somehow just appeared as he parted with the guardian spirit grandfather. A memory of the events when Rei was first captured by Miles and Martin.
Louis was silent without a word. His gaze shifted on the plant where Rei died.
"Now you will never be free from the frozen walls…"
"I can't let it. If only I could free him then…"
