60 Puzzle Piece (1/2)
When he comes to, Sid finds himself in a pitch black place.
Even when he strains his eyes, he cannot see anything. It is a darkness that seems to have no end.
In this darkness where there is no up or down, no left or right, and where even his sense of self seems to be fading away, something seems to be looming towards him.
It is a grotesque right arm restrained by chains.

Sid finds himself standing in a forest in early morning. It is the exact same place where he had gone into the door.

”I did actually call you. Sorry for lying about it.”

Birdsong filters through the leaves. Morning dew shines, glitters.
”I had always wanted to disappear. I wanted to forget everything.”
