4372 The Other Side 341
Because she was no longer deeply expressive. Her body had become a vessel. Personalities alternated back and forth, destroying each other and being created again. Her expression couldn’t even keep up with the frequency of personalities switching.
Alice felt especially sorry for him for some reason. Perhaps she was worried that the boy would end up like this.
After the boy had woken up, Romanka gently ma.s.saged his temples and got him to lie in bed with his eyes closed, to readjust for a while. Finally, the boy was more awake.
When he regained clarity, he suddenly felt a little anxious.
!!“How did this happen…” He looked around and seemed very anxious.
Romanka frowned when he noticed how anxious the boy seemed. “What’s the matter?”
Youyou was so nervous when he saw the man, that he gripped his sleeve tightly, asking, “Did you wake me!?”
“Uh…” Romanka replied with an innocent expression. Then he shook his head. “You woke by yourself. No one woke you.”
“How did I end up waking?” The boy seemed fl.u.s.tered. He broke out in a cold sweat when he recalled how he, Gong Fan, and Shanshan had fled to the back garden and finally found the exit. As soon as he opened the door, he was back in the ward.
He didn’t know if it was a dream, or if the dream was this situation now of waking up in disarray.
He was losing his mind. “I can’t come back here…” the boy mumbled. “Why am I back here?”
When Romanka saw that he was in a hurry to return to the dream, he knew that they must have encountered danger in the dream.
“Why should you not come back? Do you feel confused about anything? Talk to me. Maybe I’ll find a way for you.”
The boy looked at him doubtfully, unsure whether to trust him now.
Alice encouraged him. “Tell Professor Romanka if you need anything. He’ll help you!”
At the moment, no one seemed to be able to help him except Romanka.
“I … I distinctly remember this dream I had myself.”
When he said that, Romanka knew the boy was willing to talk. He listened patiently as he picked up the sketchpad and said to the boy, “Actually, this isn’t a dream. It’s a dimensional s.p.a.ce created by the activity of your brain. To be more precise, it’s the home of your personality. Everyone you meet there, without exception, is one of the personalities inside you.”
“When I woke up, I found myself in a hospital. It was huge, but there didn’t seem to be anyone there. There were no doctors or nurses..” the boy narrated quietly.
Romanka asked, “What was the hospital like?”
“I was in the ward all the time and hadn’t taken notice. However, there was a back garden. Gong Fan said that the hospital grounds are actually bigger than I thought. There were three blocks, arranged in a C-shaped semi-circle with a courtyard in the middle. The highest floor…”
Based on the information provided by the boy, Romanka sketched the general scene of the hospital and handed it to the boy.
The boy nodded. “Yes, that’s it.”
“What did you see?”
“I saw a girl.”
“A girl?”
“Uh huh…”
With lingering fear, Youyou said, “Yes.”
“Do you remember what she looks like?”
“I remember…”
Alice immediately said, “The boy can draw. It might be easier to visualize if he does so.”
Intrigued, Romanka asked for the boy’s opinion.
