Chapter 28: How could she fall unconscious at a time like this?
A dead end, huh?
A befitting end for someone so proud, reckless, and cocky, using a power that she didn’t know where it came from.
She was crazy. Uselessly crazy.
But the voice didn’t think that way.
*I won’t blame you for feeling like that. I’m the one putting you under pressure, forgetting the fact that you aren’t...* it paused, not completing its words, and shifted to another topic. *You’re just 17 so it’s normal for you to feel this way. When a person hits a wall in life, they tend to regret even the simplest things. You... You just need to ’remember’ and when you do, you won’t feel so restless.* It encouraged her.
"What’s that bullshit about now? What do I need to remember? I’m going to die and it’s because you want me to be some stupid hero. Why do I even listen to you?" She palmed her face.
*It’s because of the contract.* It said and she paused.
"What contract?" The voice went silent. "Hey, don’t turn silent now. Tell me what contract you’re talking about. I don’t remember signing any contract."
After staying quiet for a while, the voice continued.
*Alice, some things... Some things can’t be said yet because if I do say them, if I tell you something that’s way over your brain capacity that this current you can handle, then you will die. And that is why I keep most of it, including the origin of my existence a secret. At least... Until you’re strong enough.*
Alice was a bit confused. Was it saying that they made a contract sometime in the past?
