Chapter 298.2
The voice was calm and strong all at once. It was low, but too high to be a man’s voice.
“Please come… Alber.”
After she spoke the words, Eugene didn’t hear anything for a moment. She rubbed her hands together nervously as she looked around. Then, at the top of the bridge, light seemed to rip through the sky, like a seam had just burst and was now enveloping everything with light.
And just as suddenly as it had appeared, the light pulled away. Before Eugene, there was now a woman wearing pure white clothes with hair so long that it brushed against the floor.
I assumed she would be older. The women looked to be only a few years older than Eugene herself.
The lady wasn’t looking at her, instead she was facing the sunset with a smile on her face. The sky was still the same color it had been earlier, it was like time hadn’t passed at all.

Eugene blinked. “Sorry?”
