Chapter 468: To Retrieve What Had Been Lost
’This feels... oddly familiar.’
Sweeping his gaze across the surroundings, Calix only saw a white void. He was there, standing alone with nothing else in sight.
The void extended far beyond what his eyes could see. Not even a little object was there.
Calix walked ahead, his step slow yet measured. He hoped to catch a glimpse of something but, only a blank canvas surrounded him.
Despite the uncanny situation, strangely, no fear crept into Calix’s heart. He felt a sense of ease instead.
’What’s happening? I remember I went to sleep with Leslie.’
The memory of the candlelight dinner, followed by the intimate moment they shared tonight, resurfaced in Calix’s mind. He couldn’t help but wonder whether Leslie was sleeping well or not.
His beloved drifted to sleep before him because he couldn’t help but stay awake longer to look at her serene countenance. He loved the feeling of having her in his arms.
’This... feels a little bit like when I had those dreams.’
The thought crossed Calix’s mind as he walked ahead without any aim. He didn’t see the familiar little apartment or the neighborhood but, his heart seemed to tell him that he was right.
Calix hadn’t dreamed of the pair of lovers after that night in Zurich[01]. No new dreams came to him despite he fulfilled the conditions he thought of.
