Main Character's monologue..
I wanted to know her alchemy, to feel its effects, yet unknown to me. Her cool skin and brush of hair, a breath that was not a vapor, that did not go away when I moved. Eyes that were still there when I stopped dreaming. I wanted her to haunt me, to enter this world with me and see it too. Yet at the same time stay well outside of it, safely outside, until perhaps I could find an escape through it, through the dungeons, for us. There were already enough ghosts inside this space. I didn’t need another.

..She was not someone who existed in time that surrounded me but her’s was a voice in the future, a voice from it. Shining into my world like light. In every step I took, I moved towards it, hoping it would get brighter.
