I slept for three days and nights straight, and when I woke up again.

I found myself lying on a hospital bed, and my mother came in with a food box.

When she saw me sitting on the bed in a daze, she burst into tears of joy and hugged me tightly.

"Xiao Han, my dear, you scared me to death. Why did you sleep for so long this time? I shouldn't have listened to your father and let that new young doctor hypnotize you for treatment. They say he's a rising star in the psychiatric field, but I think it's all nonsense. I couldn't see any of his so-called remarkable skills."

I blinked and stared blankly at the open ward door.

Ever since I personally killed Fujiyu a year ago, I've been staying in this mental hospital.

Oh, right, I seem to have some mental issues?

My memories get confused, I have poor recollection, and I tend to fall asleep easily.

This year, strange images always appear in my mind, and I frequently have nightmares at night.

For instance, just before I woke up, a series of bizarre and incredible dream scenes appeared in my mind.

In the dream, the face of that woman named Suzuki Kuriyo became blurry.

Outside the door, I heard the conversation between a female nurse and a male doctor.

That male doctor is my attending physician. He looked over and adjusted his black-framed glasses that covered most of his face.

He occasionally fiddled with a pocket watch-like object in his hand, oh, it's a hypnosis tool.

My mother drew the curtains open, and a beam of sunlight shone into the ward.

Raising my hand to shield from the sun, it seemed as if I saw a scene that had occurred a year ago once again.
