Dereliction of duty · 90 years in the new calendar

pitch black.

silence.

come down.

Bloody.

corpse mountain.

Flo: Hmm...

Mmm... ph...

(So ​​sad……)

Flo: (It's...the dream again.)

(Can't wake up.)

(At least hurry up and let me see clearly.)

I have been to a place countless times in my dreams.

At first it was nothingness, and only after realizing that "this is undoubtedly a dream", the scenes here will gradually emerge.

First came the high wall, which appeared earlier than the ground.

Then, the dead trees and stumps of the surrounding environment also grow out of the void.

After a few unidentifiable human beings squeezed out from a dark corner, the gravel land under their feet was finally formed.

Flo: (We meet again.)

(...)

(Sui.)

Since a certain year, he has never seen other places in his dreams.

The culprit who has troubled him many times... a very familiar person who took sneaky steps from the iron gate of the high wall, this time, as always, is carrying a suit of luggage, planning to escape here in the dark.

Flo: (After a few more experiences.)

(Only Mr. Sui's appearance becomes clearer each time.)

(…Let’s follow the route today too.)

Residents in the dream world will not be aware of their own existence, and at the same time, they cannot interfere with their behavior.

I don't know whether it is worse for the residents who repeat the same behavior forever, or for Flo who always looks on but just looks on.

From Flo's point of view, he's used to it, and it's good to just take a round as a routine... He has the retreat of "waking up sooner or later", so he is probably the lucky one.

Inside the high wall is the home of a rich family, and beyond is the desolate area where Flo lives.The scenery inside and outside the wall is quite distinct, it is like two completely different places.

Flo: (Wait for Mr. Sui to take three more steps...OK.)

Flo crouched to meet the gale that arrived just in time.

He didn't remember how he reacted when he entered the dream for the first time and encountered the wind that was strong enough to blow away the defenseless adult male.At least now, he has been able to pinpoint the route Sui is about to retreat.When Sui backed up again and again because of the strong wind, Flo was able to reach out and prepare to respond.

Flo: (…)

(Not much to look forward to at all.)

Even if the accuracy can be subdivided down to the slightest, Mr. Sui still only passes through his body-he should be hugging, but in fact it just brings more gusts of wind.Even this little wind is purely psychological.

Flo looked at his body, and then took a look at his whole body.For some reason, after this familiar scene, he always wanted to laugh.

Flo: (You can only see Mr. Sui's weak and small appearance here.)

(...I can't believe it's the same person as that big tall guy.)

Counting from the beginning, the strong wind will stop abruptly after exactly 1 minute.

Next, Mr. Sui, who took ten seconds to organize himself, will embark on the journey again.

After the dream brings Flo to see this scene, the world will spin, and the scenery will change very intuitively in a daze.

next is...

A place Flo is very familiar with and never wants to come back to.

Just seeing it in a dream can make him feel nauseous.

Flo: (here...)

(When I met Mr. Sui for the first time, I thought he was a very irritable type.)

(Actually just an unpredictable, mature, retarded... guy.)

(Speaking of which, has he really had a good relationship with others recently...)

Flo: (It’s been a while since I’ve had a good memory.)

(...First, let's follow along.)

Even if he stands still, the dream world will continue to follow the eternal script. Waiting is actually a choice.

However, being able to take a good look at Mr. Sui's appearance is better than being boring.

Flo: (Ahh... this is it.)

It is much shorter than the high walls seen before, but it is also used for detention.

There should be words written on the door panel, but the words are all twisted up and cannot be read.

This door is the end of Flo's "journey".

Flo approached, and then, not surprisingly, found himself stopped by another unknown force.

Mr. Sui passed through his body again.He opened the door wide, which frightened all the people inside to scream.

Flo: (Can't see this time either.)

(What is it like inside the door?)

Flo could only see the darkness inside the door, the same as when he first entered the world.

Immediately, the black swelled, and then gushed out.The void is like a liquid, wherever it is splashed, it will be transformed by it.

No matter how he dodges, the last piece of land he can stand on will be swallowed up sooner or later.

He fell again.

"are you awake?"

"Can you hear me?"

Flo: ...good evening.

Sui: Dreaming again?

Flo: Hmm.

Common sense does not mean that you will not be nervous when you experience a fall.

I am used to drawing the curtains before resting, and there is no light at all in the bedroom late at night.

Flo's eyes are not like Mr. Sui's, which can see far and clearly at night.

Sui: Do you want to turn on the light?

He moved his position, ready to light the desk lamp.Because the two of them slept next to each other, he needed to "show off his skills", or get out of bed and walk over to get there.

Flo, not wanting him to leave, quickly grabbed the man's arm.

Flo: No...

Just don't go, please.
