set fire to his heart

When Mia walked into the room.

The empty house was pitch black.

A dim chandelier drops from the ceiling above an oval built-in sofa.

It also has a simple high chair next to it.

Other than that, there is nothing else in the room.

Just standing at the door, Mia, who has a keen sense of smell, smelled a strange aroma.

With her experience.

It can be distinguished that they are all spices derived from plants.

Wonderful scents mixed together.

Just by entering the nasal cavity, it brings an indescribable subtle feeling.

It was as if some power had penetrated through the pores, melted into the blood, and flowed up and down her whole body.

Mia was feeling it.

Bird had gone to the high chair and sat down.

He smiled at her: "close the door, come and lie down."

Mia nodded.

For some reason, there seems to be a kind of magic here.

Let people's brain and thoughts become very relaxed in an instant, able to let go of all defenses and concerns, involuntarily believe his words, and follow what he said.

Wait until Mia comes to the oval built-in sofa to lie down.

She just sat down.

The sofa will automatically rise.

The soft leather is fine-tuned according to her body structure, gently wrapping her limbs and body, as if her body is flying in mid-air.

It was also because of being lifted up that Mia realized that...

The ceiling of the room is a dark acrylic board.

It is reflective like a mirror, reflecting her appearance at this time.

Extremely black, the only thing you can see is yourself.

Her body was embedded in the sofa, so that she couldn't see Bode's figure, and could only hear his voice: "Mia, what memory do you want to retrieve through hypnosis? When did it happen?"

"Childhood memories..."

Mia answered him, her body was embedded in the sofa, and all the nerves in her body were relaxed.

"About my childhood memories, I hardly remember anything that happened before I was ten years old..."

she told Bird.

Her voice softened as she spoke.

The relaxed nerves made her in a trance.

The dim chandelier above began to overlap at some point, and the vision became slightly blurred.

"it is good."

Bird's voice was soft and calm.

He guided her: "Now, let's go back to your childhood, when you were a little girl..."

Bode pulled Mia's thoughts: "Close your eyes...go back to your childhood..."

Everything is magical.

Mia couldn't help but follow suit.

And just when her eyelids were about to close, the only chandelier in that room went out in an instant.

In an instant, the entire room lost its light source.

Mia felt as if she was being dragged into an abyss.

Empty, barren, strange.

Miraculously, she didn't feel scared at all.

"..." Mia closed her eyes, her heart and thoughts became very heavy.

It was so heavy that she wasn't sure what kind of state she was in.

Fantasy and reality are constantly overlapping.

All she could hear was her own breathing, and Bode's voice floating in the distance.

"Where are you? What's in front of you? Did you see anything, hear anything?"

His voice was like an echo in the valley.

Mia, who was in the darkness, could not detect his existence, but could hear his inquiry clearly.

"I……"

Mia frowned slightly.

She was about to say that she hadn't seen anything.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, the pitch-black picture in front of her eyes changed little by little.

From pitch black to gray, from blurry to clear...

She opened her eyes.

What caught my eye was furniture that was taller than her.

The wooden dining table is very ordinary in shape, and even has a sense of age.

"Mother……"

When the immature female voice came to her ears, Mia immediately identified it—the perspective in front of her was her own. Although her voice had changed, she was sure it was her own voice.

"Mom, I'm hungry, can I have cake?"

Accompanied by her voice fell.

She propped her hands on the edge of the table that was higher than her head.

Relying on its strength, she stood on tiptoe, and stretched her other hand towards the table...

That's why.

She was able to see more of the picture.

There is a plate on the table with several rice cakes on it.

She tried to reach out.

It was hard for the fingertips to touch it, so I had to stand on tiptoe even harder.

All her attention was on the rice cakes.

But the picture reflected in the peripheral vision... the narrow space is an old community house, and there are even large water stains and mildew on the white-scratched walls.

Perceived so far.

Mia frowned reflexively.

at this time.

She finally got the rice cake she was longing for.

"whee……"

She succeeded and put the rice cake into her mouth.

With her heels on the ground, she let go of the edge of the table and happily turned to eat rice cakes.

But just took a bite.

The originally clear picture suddenly began to spin dizzily and become blurred.

The sky is spinning.

"Boom-"

Her body suddenly fell to the ground.

All I could see were rice cakes that had fallen from her hands, and the legs of a wooden chair.

and also……

A pair of adult ladies' slippers appeared in the aisle not far away.

After pausing for two seconds, it quickly alternated steps in her direction.

But don't wait for her to see each other clearly.

The vision in front of him became more and more blurred, and finally turned into darkness again.

The environment that was originally moving and quiet suddenly returned from dynamic to static.

Only endless blackness remains.

The ultimate silence.

"..." Mia sensed something was wrong.

She frowned tightly, trying to change the status quo.

But she seemed to be suppressed by the surrounding forces, she couldn't open her eyelids, she couldn't look at anything anymore.

until.

"Mia!"

Bode's voice was heavy and firm calling: "Mia! Wake up!"

His tone was commanding, like a switch.

People can't refuse, they can only do it.

When Mia successfully opened her eyes, the scene that caught her eyes was no longer the environment just now, but...

The lights in the room are bright.

Above her, is her new hypnotist Bode.

Compared with his calmness and peace just now, his face is solemn now.

Until he saw Mia's pupils gradually waking up, he let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Bode sat back on the high chair next to him and said, "Under hypnosis, you can only let nature take its course. If you intervene with too much force, you will damage your nerves, and even cause memory disorders and errors."

As he explained, he pressed the button of the sofa.

Mia, who was still being lifted into the air, was pushed up at this moment, and she sat up normally.

The wall made of acrylic reflects the bright light of the light at this time.

The stars are dotted, dazzling and sober.

Mia, who gradually calmed down, swallowed hard, and a thin layer of sweat secreted from her body.

She turned her head to look at Bode and confirmed to him: "Is my hypnosis successful? The picture I saw just now is a real past, not my imagination, right?"
