“It is not important, nasty lion.”
“Why not?”
“Because Felicity is the past, and the past can’t be changed.” Lunita began to climb down the fire escape. “It’s a wound that won’t heal, a ghost that won’t rest.”
Then, she pointed at Pavel. “Kind of like him.”
“Hold on.” Pavel frowned. “I am a ghost that can rest. I just choose to haunt Kazimir.”
Lunita’s voice was hard but her eyes betrayed a deep-rooted pain. “Do not bring up Felicity.”
That has to be a clue.
“Alright,” I followed after her. “What is the other rule?”
“If M passes out or falls down, don’t run and pick him up. That’s just what he does.”
The little girl nodded. “Yep.”
“If you are holding M and he wakes up, then he will scream and pass out again and it will take forever for him to wake back up.”
We descended the fire escape, and the city around us, a bizarre blend of the familiar and the foreign, seemed to watch with a thousand silent eyes.
What will happen with M?
Chapter forty-two
My Mouse, But as a Man
Kazimir
Climbing down the fire escape was a silent affair.
Each step was a descent into deeper contemplation.
The city loomed around us, yet it was nothing more than a backdrop to the surreal journey unfolding within.
This was no ordinary moment; I was navigating the complicated world of my mouse’s subconscious.
Scary, yet mesmerizing and bizarre.
Not to mention the sheer audacity of walking through a mind not my own. One where my mouse’s memories had been transformed into landscapes.
Her fears embodied by obstacles.
While this was an adventure unlike any other, this journey also threatened the very fabric of my sanity.
Would I be okay once I woke up?
What would be the cost?
Those questions echoed in the hollow chambers of my heart.
Would I retain my sense of self, or would fragments of her essence cling to my consciousness like persistent shadows?
Do not think about it. I have to do this.
Once we made it back inside the little girl’s apartment, Lunita frowned and guided us out into the hallway. “You think you can do anything.”
