Decisions

“just as there are other options.people besides you who have the ability to enter the subconscious of others, Just Elvira. But if I have to take Alfian to Elvira's place, I'm not sure if we have enough time. However, the choice remains in kamu” said Nathanael.

There's no other choice, Eric has to do it.

“i'm ready. So, what should I do?” and Eric finally.

“good. All you need to do now is sleep” replied Nathanael.

            Eric tried to lie next to Alfian, he was on the dry sand of the beach. Accompanied by the cold sea breeze, also the sound of waves pounding.

Shit, if this is how he won't be able to sleep.

“gue can help. But promise yes..lo will follow me abis same affair Alfian finished” said Daniel.

“iya, I said I agree”

“oke”

            Iris Daniel turned golden again.

“Eric, I order you to sleep!” said Daniel. And then, Eric lost consciousness.

“Eric, can you hear my voice?”

In the darkness, Eric heard a voice.

“Yes, I can hear” Eric said in the darkness.

“Maglindo!”

Suddenly, Eric felt the sensation of falling that really felt real. Eric opened his eyes and found that he was now in freefall from the sky, in a height he had never imagined before.

His heart was pounding, his body becoming tense as it prepared itself for the impact.

“Quiet Eric, this is just a dream. You'll be fine”pap that voice again.

All he heard was a woman's voice. Because Nathanael has now changed into a woman. Including his vocal cords.

            Slowly, Eric could sense that his falling speed was beginning to slow down. Eventually, he landed in a strange forest.

“ini where?” asked Eric in surprise.

“you exist in an imaginary region created by Library’s of life. Your current task, is to find the location where Alfian is in”

            Eric looked around at his surroundings.There was only a forest, and the sound of singing emanating from nowhere.

“focus, Eric... Don't listen to the sound of that singing, or you'll get out of that imaginary reality!”Nathanael.

“oke, I understand.”

“in that imaginary reality, the laws of space and time do not run like in the real world. I hope you don't lose your sanity there. Whatever you see, it's part of the subconscious Alfian”Nathanael goes back to explaining.

            Suddenly Eric heard the voice of a small child from behind him, he found the figure of a small girl with long black hair, and a silvery-haired boy.

“oh, here there is Elvira and.. a little boy who looks like a ghost who often follows Alfian and Elvira” Eric tells.

            A little girl with hair in her pigtails this time approached Eric. Her face trellis looked rather familiar.

“oh, there are small children who look like Julia's sister also” said Eric.

“from those three people, in your opinion..who is closest to Alfian personally?”

            Eric thought for a moment.

“maybe sister Julia, because she's her boyfriend” Eric guessed.

“oke, then..you follow the figure that looks like Julia it”.

            According to instructions, Eric followed Julia in the form of a small child, they continued to walk

into the forest until finally arrived at a tree that looked different and the largest. Eric realized that the singing voice that had been singing earlier had suddenly stopped.

            Little Julia silently stared at Eric with a straight look. So even with little Elvira and the silver-haired boy next to her. arrived alone, the body melted in front of Eric. who stood before her now lived little Julia.

“the silver-mistered boy and the little Elvira.

“It's okay, it's just a reality created from Alfian's worry. The Elvira he knew today, was probably not the Elvira he knew years ago. And the figure of the silver-haired boy.in fact he was dead”.

            Somehow, Eric was able to understand the feeling of loss that Alfian felt.

 Moments later, Julia in the form of a child reached out to Eric.

“Dia... reached out to me” said Eric.

“Good, he'll show you where Alfian's soul is”

            Eric receives the helping hand.Slowly, little Julia leads Eric into the trunk of a large tree before her. of course, since the laws of space and time did not apply, Eric was able to pierce through the trunk of the large tree with ease.

            This time, he arrived at school. Santana Senior High school building where he studied. In front of her, now stands the figure of Julia at this time, with her whole eyes black. The figure ran away leaving Eric, and Eric chased after him.

“Wait!” eric said to Julia.

But the figure continued to run, and slowly the entire classroom and stairs formed a paradoxical system where Eric could not find the end of the corridor anywhere.

“Eric, now what do you do?”

“i again chase sister Julia. but, this corridor.... every classroom or staircase.

“Eric, is that Julia who just led you?”

“not, who before his lead me that figure of sister Julia in the form of a child. What I'm chasing now is Julia's sister version today. but her eyes are all black yes.” replied Eric.

“no, Eric! nein! You will enter the Loop!”

The sound of laughter suddenly filled Eric's head.

Nathanael's voice, it can't reach him anymore.

***

“Eric! Eric! can you hear my voice?” nathanael said in Eric's ear. Gio checked the vital signs in Eric's body.The young man's pulse was getting weaker.

“this is bad, really bad!”
