When he first awoke in this cabin and saw the sky at dawn just as the sun began to rise…
“I felt here the peace I had only ever imagined.”
It was a beautiful sky.
Unlike the concrete forest, where he could not see even the smallest distance beyond his surroundings, his view here was vast. The pristine Milky Way appeared as though it would sparkle without end even once ample light gathered. A sweet, natural fragrance permeated the cool yet warm breeze.
An unknown nostalgia made his dry eyes sting, and his heart thudded heavily. Emotion had welled within him until he could not think at all.
“Unlike reality.”
There was no noise of any kind here.
“Mr. Seo Gio.”
“At last, you call me by that name.”
“You are a powerful being, are you not?”
“Yes. I became one without realizing it.”
“And you are an Evil God at the same time.”
“I do not yet properly understand the role of an Evil God, but yes.”
“…Do you not find me discourteous?”
The Black Cloak asked in apparent puzzlement,
“Do you want me to consider you discourteous?”
“No, but to be honest, it is true that I find you difficult to understand.”
“What aspect do you find difficult to understand?”
“How can you exist in such a form?”
It was impossible.
