"How did you do that?"

  "Do what?"

  I peek down the hall,

  wanting to see if

  Ronin truly left.

  He did leave….

  but so did that

  entire hall I came

  from.

  A wall has been replaced.

  Blocking the direction

  I just came from.

  As if it was

  never

  there.

  "Oh, if you're wondering about

  that, it's a strong illusion created

  by Tetsuya to keep us hidden

  Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.

  from malicious energy."

  Adam explains rather calmly.

  I touch the wall and it's solid.

  Feels too real for an illusion.

  I back away and turn around to

  stare at the tall glass window

  that is painted in hope.

  That holy rose…..

  My legs suddenly give out

  as I fall,

  looking down as an

  overwhelming

  feeling of peace

  wash over me.

  Unexpected

  words flow

  from my

  mouth.

  "You're safe for

  now. So don't

  worry…."

  Tears from my

  eyes fall and

  fall.

  I wipe them

  away,

  smiling just

  a little.

  I forgot….

  Whenever there's darkness,

  light is also there, shining

  the brightest.

  Many are blind to it.

  Yet some are given

  that special chance

  to realize.

  Don't forget.
