"Hey! Are you listening to , or what?" Mia was now deeply worried about one thing: what if the Sam who had woken up, looking quite strange, wasn't really Sam anymore?
Mia was filled with regret and concern. If it was indeed her carelessness that had led to serious consequences, she would feel guilty for a lifeti.
But Sam quickly recovered from his shock and helplessness. Gathering his thoughts, he silently assessed the changes in his body and looked at Mia.
"No... just took a mont to co back to my senses."
Mia eyed Sam suspiciously. "Are you... still yourself?"
"What do you an?" Sam asked, puzzled.
Mia frowned, unsure about his response. "Who's your girlfriend?"
"Angel..." Sam replied.
"Does she have a birthmark on her butt?"
"No, she doesn't have... What the hell are you thinking?!" Sam now realized what Mia was getting at. Was she worried that he had been 'possessed'?
Mia was taking charge of worrying about him before he even had a chance to worry about her?
Mia said defensively, "I'm just worried about you, and you're blaming ?"
Sam suddenly rembered his upgraded skill, [True Sight]... well, might as well test it. He looked at Mia. "Are you worried about ?"
"Yes! What else?" Mia responded.
Sam thought to himself to judge the truth of this statent. He expected feedback in the form of a system-like voice in his mind, or perhaps a visual confirmation of truth or falsehood.
What he didn't expect was...
A (√) appeared above Mia's head! It looked ridiculously comical, and Sam couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Mia asked irritably, her head still sporting the (√) that was bobbing around.
Is it animated, too?
"Nothing... do you feel like there's sothing on top of your head?"
"What thing?" Mia looked up, puzzled. Of course, she couldn't see anything because the checkmark had already faded away with ti. Sam now understood that she was indeed worried about him, and her words were true.
Hmm... quite useful.
Although he couldn't use it on the sa person more than once a day and there was a ten-minute cooldown for using it on different people, often the truthfulness of a single statent could determine the outco of an entire event.
This was the most useful skill Sam felt he had, aside from his reflect ability.
And it was... pretty fun.
"Nothing... By the way, has she not woken up yet?" Sam looked towards his sister.
She was still asleep on the couch, breathing lightly, her condition stable.
But why hadn't she woken up yet? Logically, with three people using the dream, so aspects should be diluted, and the effects should be significantly reduced. So why was she still asleep?
Mia shook her head. "Not sure, ever since I woke up, you two have been like this, no change, except for you waking up..."
Could it be that the strange entity had deceived him? She didn't plan to let Ava wake up so soon? Just as Sam was getting a bad feeling...
"Uh..."
Ava, holding her forehead, slowly opened her eyes and looked around confusedly at the two people staring at her.
"Eh? Why are you looking at like that... Hmm? Did I fall asleep?"
Mia gave an awkward smile. "Yeah, it seems like you were really tired. Maybe staying in the convenience store for too long got you bored and sleepy?"
Ava seed puzzled but nodded. "Maybe, I was dozing off at the convenience store... maybe a bit. Hey, didn't you guys eat anything?"
"Yeah, want to eat so more? There's still a lot left."
Mia suggested with a smile.
At that mont, Sam rembered sothing. He looked at Ava.
"Ava."
"Hmm?" Ava looked at her brother with wide, innocent eyes, a puzzled expression on her face.
Sam thought about how to phrase his question, then asked, "Do you rember anything else?"
"Anything else... what do you an?"
"Never mind, let's continue eating."
Sam decided not to dig deeper. Ava didn't seem to rember anything about the dream, and his [True Sight] was still on cooldown, so he couldn't use it to detect lies.
So, he let it go for now, planning to ask again when more clues erged.
Mia also breathed a sigh of relief... thankfully, her carelessness hadn't led to a disaster.
Soon, the al was over, and Mia was ready to leave. Sam walked her downstairs.
Not out of kindness, but because he had so necessary words to share with her.
"You've seen it now, no matter how careful you are, accidents can still happen. Maybe not every ti, but the probability is quite high. Be careful in the future."
Sam was reminding this young woman not to act impulsively to save others, putting herself at risk. She had done enough; there was no need to go to such lengths, especially given the significant risks, possibly even not waking up.
Standing in the night breeze, Mia's long hair fluttered, her delicate, fair neck exposed under the tousled hair, adding a unique beauty to her.
She indeed had a lot of charm, especially when she looked at the night sky alone, exuding a sense of beauty that seed detached from the world.
Mia smiled wistfully. "I know, I felt it too, there are indeed risks, but I have reasons I must try."
"Just because of your guilt? I've told you, accidents aren't your fault, you've done enough. Everyone's fate is their own, not sothing that can be changed just like that."
Sam didn't think it was a risk worth taking.
Firstly, he didn't know much about Charlotte, didn't know much about the girl's situation, and being in a vegetative state for a long ti, who knew what her inner consciousness had beco? What if entering it turned out to be a hellish landscape? Even if Sam was with Mia, he might be helpless.
Mia shook her head. "Not that. Guilt is secondary, it's just, Sam, don't you think... if soone clearly has the potential to save another person, but chooses to stand by in such a situation, wouldn't you feel uneasy if things really got worse?"
Sam sighed. "You really are stubborn."
Mia looked into Sam's eyes, tucking a stray hair behind her ear, her nose reddened by the cold air, giving her a sowhat cute look.
"That's just how stubborn I am, Sam. You should have known that from the ti I left them."
"They" referred to Aurora and her father.
Sam took a deep breath.
Mia then took a step back and, under Sam's puzzled gaze, bowed deeply to him.
"What are you doing?"
The young man looked at her suspiciously.
Mia didn't look up but maintained her posture, her long hair cascading down like a waterfall.
"I think I should apologize, not just to you but to Ava... but you probably don't want Ava to feel like I'm apologizing out of the blue, so I can only apologize to you."
Sam understood and sighed.
"It's good that nothing happened. It would be hard to deal with if sothing serious had occurred. But you better not have done this on purpose."
Mia still bowed, not looking up.
"I definitely didn't do it on purpose, I swear! But... I know now, Sam... I won't cause you trouble anymore, this won't happen again."
Sam looked at her long hair.
"Will you use this ability on others in the future?"
Although he couldn't detect lies now, he had so discernnt.
Mia's actions today had indeed annoyed him sowhat, caught him off guard, but it seed he couldn't bla her too much, as it wasn't intentional.
Mia shook her head.
"No... I swear, as long as I succeed in waking Charlotte up... no, after I've tried, I won't use this ability again, not on anyone, and I'll be very careful not to let this kind of accident happen again. Otherwise, I'll just..."
"Alright, alright, lift your head up and talk, you look very strange like this."
Mia looked up, her face tense with anxiety.
She was really scared by what had just happened, of course, but what made her most nervous was the thought that because of this incident, Sam might quit his job at her convenience store tomorrow and never contact her again...
"...are you still mad?"
"What do you think?"
Sam looked at her expressionlessly.
Mia bit her lip, her eyes downcast, sowhat aggrieved. She thought for a mont.
"Why don't you hit then?"
"...I generally don't hit won, don't start with that."
Seeing that Sam's mood didn't seem to improve, Mia took a deep breath and bravely t his gaze.
"Then what do you want to do? I can do anything! Anything at all, just don't be mad... don't hate ... I really didn't an it, I really didn't expect..."
Her voice was very soft at the end, but Sam heard it clearly.
He frowned.
"Anything?"
His gaze fell on her body.
Mia's face flushed. He wouldn't really want to sleep with her, would he?
If Sam insisted, she would have to agree, right?
Better than having Sam hate her... and disappear from her world.
After all... this boy was Sam, and she was willing to give her body to him.
Sam spoke.
"Then let borrow your motorcycle for a while."
"Huh?"
She was stunned, looking dazedly at Sam.
Sam looked at her amusedly.
"Otherwise, what did you expect? Did you want to take over your convenience store?"
"When do you want the bike?" she asked, a little disappointed.
Did her sexy body really have less appeal than a motorcycle!
Sam waved his hand.
"I'll tell you when I need it, not in the next few days."
Sam was just asking for sothing, not too expensive, not too cheap, to make sure she learned her lesson. Borrowing her favorite motorcycle seed like a good choice to make her feel a bit of pain.
Mia nodded.
"Thank you..."
Sam thought of sothing.
"Alright, but when do you plan to try on Charlotte?"
"Probably soon... it's okay if you're busy, I can probably do it alone."
"You definitely can't do it alone. With your ntal strength, your intelligence, your decision-making ability, any little accident and you're done for."
"...are you saying I'm that bad?"
Mia really hoped Sam would say sothing like, "I'm not very reassured if you go alone."
But why did he have to say it like that!
Sam looked at her irritably.
"Alright, it's not the first or second ti. Call when you're ready to go."
"You're coming with ?"
"Didn't you see? Three people can share a dream. I have no reason not to participate."
Mia hesitated. "But there might be danger for you too..."
Sam put his hands in his pockets and looked up at the starless sky.
"It's still better than you possibly getting lost there alone. Just follow my orders, and that's it. You can go now, be careful on your way."
He said so.
Watching Sam say this, Mia's eyes rippled, and in her vision, the figure of the young man beca sowhat blurred, blurred enough that she could do sothing impulsive and deceive herself.
She wasn't sure what exactly motivated this young man to accompany her into one dangerous dream after another.
Was it because of her plea, or sothing else?
But it didn't matter anymore. Just those words were enough for her to be impulsive once.
Because his presence... could give her infinite security.
She stepped forward, right up to Sam.
"Thank you."
"It's okay, just weigh things yourself next ti..."
"Muah~"
Before Sam could finish speaking, he felt a moist warmth on his cheek, quickly cooled by the air.
Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, her cheeks slightly flushed, her eyes a bit evasive.
"I really am apologizing!"
With that, she quickly turned around and, without any grace, disappeared into the night.
Sam touched his cheek where he had just been kissed, and chuckled to himself.
What was Mia's behavior?
A kind of compensation... or was she really that afraid of him being angry?
Back in the apartnt, Ava was almost done with her nightly routine.
She hugged a pillow and told Sam, "You have to co sleep with tonight, or I won't be able to sleep!"
Sam thought about it and didn't refuse this ti. After washing up, he returned to the room and lay down on the floor.
Ava, of course, was still in the bed.
At that mont, Sam asked a question.
"Ava."
"Hmm?"
"Did you feel anything strange while you were asleep?"
Ava quickly responded from the bed.
"No... why, did you guys do sothing while I was asleep?"
"No, let's go to sleep."
Sam said so, casually turning over, not specifically looking at Ava's expression.
But the girl lying in her brother's bed, her cheeks flushed, blinked her eyes as she stared at the ceiling.
Her mind began to echo with scenes that seed so unreal yet felt so real.
Was that real or not?
In her dream, she almost did that with her brother?
It was clearly a dream... why did it feel so real?
She was even about to sit on her brother's cock, their genitals were incredibly close, almost about to penetrate!
Wow... so exaggerated, so lewd, but... so embarrassing...
When will these things really happen?!
The girl lost in her thoughts couldn't fall asleep for a long ti.
Sam couldn't sleep either. He closed his eyes, but the scene kept replaying.
His sister's head.
That big [X] that appeared.
Yes, she was lying.
