"Almost there, Ade, just hold on a little longer, we're almost there."
A voice in my mind.
"Just hold on, Vic! We're almost there."
A voice in reality.
As he drew closer to the Blood Healing Statue, Vic's spirit grew increasingly dazed. The memories in his mind were intertwining with the events unfolding in reality.
One moment, Vic was leading the way; the next, Ivana had taken the lead.
Clearly, they were two completely different people, yet in the rapidly flashing memory fragments and current scenes, they swiftly overlapped in Vic's eyes.
"Vic!!"
"Huh?"
Vic, as if suddenly awakened from a semi-dazed state, lifted his head and found Ivana looking at him with deep concern.
"Are you okay?" Ivana asked.
"I..." Vic hesitated for a moment, then resolutely said, "I'm fine!"
Vic didn't want to worry Ivana, but he was unaware that his current state was far from being "fine" in Ivana's eyes.
