Paradoxon: Fix In Posterum
The fix 81

"I managed to find him," Rei murmured as he stared at the buttons in his hand.
"But unfortunately, I didn't manage to bring him into this world" he said, clenching his hands tightly, causing the button in his hand to sink into his fist.
The focus of Rei's eyes turned to look at Nata before him. The figure of the woman slowly began to vanish into ashes which in one gust of wind vanished unceasingly, leaving no trace.
"What should we do now, sir?" Louis's question that managed to make Rei focus turned to look at him who was standing right next to him.
"We're back. For now at least we know they are all in a safe state. Now we just have to make sure they don't come out of our hiding place. Because if Dean and his friends come out, it'll be even more dangerous for them. Especially at this moment, they had already sent out their trust guard evolver. It's gonna be very dangerous."
"What you say is true, sir."
"Then let's go back. The others are waiting for us to come back."
"good. Let's master," said Louis who then turned along with Rei beside him. They stepped together leaving where they were at the moment.

Rei opened his eyes slowly. He blinked, making the focus of Elvina and the others instantly turn to look at his newly awakened self.
"Rey!!" Elvina's happy not to be a bitch. He spontaneously hugged Rei there and cried happily to see his cousin return safely. William smiled with relief as well as Dean and his four other companions. They all looked at Rei while smiling happily.
"I'm glad you're back safely" muttered Elvina, crying there.
"I can come back because you helped me too" said Rei who then broke free from Elvina's embrace and sat there.
Elvina wiped her tears and looked at Rei with a sparkling face.
"What are you doing there? Why are you coming home late?" Ask Marko who is curious. He stared at Rei with a difficult look, as well as his four other companions. They looked at Rei who had just regained consciousness.
"I'm trying to catch the dream fog controller."
"uh? But how is it going?" Ask Marko.
"Could you?" Nero looked at him with a curious look.
"Of course you can" Rei said with a smile. "I did it by using Nata" Rei said.
"the nata? Who's that?" Dean asked, representing his three other best friends.
"I'm sorry I had to take advantage of your older sister Nero" Rei said as he stared at Nero there.
"Sister girl?" Say them simultaneously while looking at Nero with a look of surprise.
"Yes. Nata is my older sister" Nero said, staring at her four best friends. "And. It's okay Rei, after all he's just an illusion and part of the dream created by the dream fog controller. The real Nata may now be smiling proudly at me for letting go and fighting the fear that has been enveloping me," Nero lowered his head.
"Don't Nata. I'm very proud of you too. So did Louis," Rei patted Nero on the shoulder.
"Ah, yes. Where's Louis? Shouldn't he be here too?" Ask Nero who just realized about Louis.
"You met Louis?" Dean asked Nero.
"Yes. He's the one who helped me and Rei out of the lake when we fell."
"Right now he was resting and recovering his strength. You'll be able to meet him later" Rei said.
"Yes," Rei replied with a smile.

TUKS!
Elvina put one hot chocolate in front of Rei as soon as she finished making it for them. He walked over to his chair there with his cup of hot chocolate in hand. They are currently in the main room. Sitting together in conversation while Rei was about to explain what they were going through.
"Take it as my thanks because you and Nero have returned safely" he said, sipping his drink. Rei was silent for a moment looking at the hot chocolate in front. Meanwhile Dean and the others turned to look at Elvina there.
"thank you. This is also thanks to your help. If you hadn't tied the rope at the right time, then maybe Nero would never have gotten out of there" Rei said, grabbing his glass and drinking it.
"Roves?" Beo Nero was there while looking at him in confusion.
"Yes. Tali," said William who made their attention turn to him.
"What rope?"
"The rope that was tied between your hands and Rei."
"Oh. That rope you mean?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"What is rope really? And why do you say that rope is the key to unlocking the dream world from the outside?" Dean asked looking at Rei, Elvina and William alternately with curious faces. His four best friends stared at them as curious as Dean.
"It was indeed a rope that was used to open the door of the dream world from the outside. That rope is the key."
"His key?" Repeat Marko who still does not understand Rei's explanation.
"Yes. It was the rope that made Nero find his way out of the dream world. You remember Nero, about the bright white light you saw when you were about to come out?" Rei looked at Nero.
"Ah yes. I remember!" Nero.
"White light? Waitaminute! We don't understand!" Marko's there asking for more explanation.
"So like this. As I tried to fight my fear, I walked until I found a bright light that the closer I got to him, the greater the light. And that light is what allowed me to come back here and meet you guys" Nero explained.
"really?" Marko doesn't believe what he hears.
"Yes." Yeah."
"So... The rope is the light opener that Nero meant? And that light is connected to our world? Didn't he? Is that some kind of portal?" Dean confirmed.
"You're right Dean" Rei said.
"Oh. I understand now. So that's what you call the opening key that can get Nero out of that world."
"so. And if only then did Elvina not put it on time, then I, Nero, would have, and Louis will never be able to return to this world and will continue to be trapped in the world created by the dream fog control man."
"Elvina put it on because she's so worried about you. You are soaking wet and your breath starts to thin, so Elvina immediately takes action" said William.
"That's because in there, we fell into the lake."
