Nixxin gazes through the lights above him; he is lying on smooth and soft ground. The light is coming from something, something his eyes are hiding from him. His eyes have blinded him. Nixxin covers his eyes with his hand.
There, there, he sees someone beside him. Nixxin looks at him. "Teddy?"
Teddy looks at him smiling. "You're awake?"
Nixxin stands up from the bed. What the hell just happened? Nixxin looks at Teddy. Jayo dropped food on the table beside him, and Teddy said, "You're in the hospital; the doctor said you passed out because of your wings."
Nixxin looks confused. "That's definitely the reason; I'm sure that time I couldn't breathe."
Jayo looks at him. Jayo's eyes are as furious as flame. "If you didn't join us, we would have caught the drug addict at the house."
Nixxin remembers about the drug addict. It looks like the succubus brought the drug addict back. Did he have some big dick or something? Nixxin moves his head; he knows why Jayo wants to catch the drug addict. "I'm very sorry; next time I'm going to make sure I'm healthy."
Nixxin sees a clock ticking on the next side of the room; it's already 2pm. Was I sleeping so long?. As they goes out of the hospital, all they can feel, is that pollution really gets it unlike inside that smells like a disinfectant, they said goodbye to each other and go to their own directions.
After hours, Nixxin feels something, he can't think at that time, his mind full of everything yet nothing comes, Nixxin thought he will really die, but he feels serene and extreme joy, Nixxin smiles while walking, it was green light, yet he crosses the lane, one driver break his car and tap his horn multiple times, Nixxin reaches the next street, while he can't hear a man yelling at him.
Nixxin pushed a door to a shop called I-choco; he smelled the sweet flavor and the chocolate inside. Nixxin picked up chocolates, a dozen of them, and he went out of the shop smiling.
A few minutes later, Nixxin is standing up holding the doorknob, but he just knocks. He waits until Wia opens it, then he looks at the ground as it slowly opens. He remembers the last time he saw the door opening. Nixxin stares at the ground while the door is open.
Wia goes to the back of the bed. Nixxin looks at Wia. He approaches Wia. Nixxin glances at the kitchen; the breakfast he cooked is untouched. "I'm sorry I didn't come back last night."
Wia just continues to look at her phone and ignores Nixxin. Nixxin's eyes aren't so clear; he can't see small changes in someone. He is feeling bad for Wia. He goes into the wardrobe and picks up his clothes, and he remembers something: why did the mission fail?
Nixxin continues to the bathroom to take a bath, while thinking of why Nixxin meets his reflection once again. He is starting to change; his face is very different from who he looked like before. Before, he was like a nerd who fought someone and acted cringely, but now, he looks more depressed. What could have happened?
After taking a bath, Nixxin calls someone on the phone. "Hello, ma'am?"
Nixxin facing the ceiling. "Yes, I do."
Nixxin listens to the phone. "I'm, I'm at floor 20, commercial 199."
Nixxin looks at Wia. "I'm really sorry, when do we meet?"
Nixxin looks at the floor. "Yes, I'm bringing her."
The call turns off, and Nixxin turns his head to Wia. "Wia." Wia ignores him. "I think you should go back to your family; it's getting dangerous here." Wia feels disappointed while looking at Nixxin standing beside the bed. "I'm sorry, but I'm telling you, you have to leave."
The bed creaks and shakes as Wia stands up and goes to the wardrobe. "Don't worry; I'm going to leave anyway."
Wia brings luggage and goes outside. Nixxin looks at her leaving. That's it? Shit, that was so fast. Nixxin fell on the bed. I mean, what do I expect?
Nixxin realized something. Nixxin opened the curtain; a yellowish flash of light attracted his eyes. He saw Wia was riding a taxi. Nixxin punched the window; the glass shattered, and Nixxin held the edge of the window and leapt outside. He fell on the ground; the taxi ran away. "Wia!" Why? Why doesn't she just come back?
Nixxin runs forward, the air heat up as he accelerate, when Nixxin catch up, Wia looks at him, Nixxin tried to hold the taxi, and he broke the back part of the car, and Nixxin lift it, to make sure it won't run, the door opened, and the driver ask Nixxin, "What the hell are you doing?"
Nixxin looks at the driver, "Take Wia out."
Wia jumps out of the car and the car slammed shut, "Just let me get lost."
Nixxin dropped the taxi, the driver is nagging at him, but no one have to hear it, Nixxin just looks at Wia, "Come back to your family."
Wia can't keep an eye for Nixxin, "Don't you have a dream job?"
Wia is starting to get angry of the situation, "Why? Why would I have a dream? Why would I work so hard just to die?"
Nixxin got shock by it, "Looks at yourself of what have gotten to you, you work everyday, selling drugs, fighting thugs, and investigating the case have, you can't even enjoy you're young but you can't enjoy anything to yourself."
Nixxin stared while driver is waiting for them to whoever pay his broken car, Nixxin looks at her, "Isn't that is just slothness or laziness?"
Wia got frustrated so much he just runs away, Nixxin pulled his hand, the driver looks at them, why am I in this drama, "Cut this bullshit, pay this broken car!"
Nixxin hold her hands to tights, Wia fall on the ground, "I'm sorry!"
Nixxin cannot remember when the last time he cried, "Wia, just comeback to your family."
The driver pick up a hammer and throw it on Nixxin's back, Nixxin instantly fell unconscious on the ground, Nixxin stared at the ground glowing, glowing unrealistically, it's light is like water going upward, "Hey...? Why do you think Wia said that?"
Nixxin feels already used to the place, he dreams multiple times, a man sat down beside him, "It's so bright in here, isn't?"
Nixxin sat down and look around, "Maybe because, you're an angel, I don't know why, why you're so screepy before."
Nixxin stared at a man beside him, a man glowing light that look just like an angel, the man stand up, and the bright light starting to move, second by second, the light runs away, Nixxin was left in the dark, Nixxin looks at the light running away, "Wonder why Wia said that?"
The man point at the light, "Light is never a sign of hope, light is the sign of someone existing with hope."
Nixxin stand up, "What's the point?"
The man looks at Nixxin, "Light is like a resources, knowledge, and culture, often ignites conflict and suffering. Just as in past times, those who grasp the flame believe they can thrive with its warmth. Yet, this very light, born from wealth, casts shadows of poverty on those who lack it. A few may rise to claim this brightness, only to recognize that wealth is concentrated among the fortunate, while others remain trapped in despair."
The man point at the light, "Wealth, faith, and wisdom symbolize our aspirations—the hope of prosperity and the desire to uplift those around us. Yet, this same hope can lead to the chains of modern-day slavery, where the pursuit of that light becomes a source of bondage for many. The illumination we yearn for, often perceived as creation of god, is reinterpreted by people who fight for their versions of that light come from different gods, causing deaths and conflicts."
The man pointing at the light continues, "Consider the role technology as a double-edged sword that brings both advancement and devastation. While it can illuminate our lives in comfort, advancement, it has also been wielded as a weapon, causing untold suffering across the possible space, it also make the youths brain have gone to rotten. The light we chase may appear to offer hope, but it can also ensnare us in unhealthy pursuits."
The man looks at Nixxin, "So, I wanted to ask you, what are the odds that, in your quest for this light, you might encounter peril? Is it not possible that those drawn to it may pose the greatest threat of all?"
Nixxin stared at the man. "I understand it." But why does he feel perfect, as if he can talk freely and continuously? He doesn't feel alive; the light is starting to come back, but it isn't just a light; there's someone inside, someone holding a flashlight pointing at them.
Then, the man shoots Nixxin. It doesn't matter since it is a dream; the light vanishes. "If it were just darkness, do you think people will get shot? Humans will exist? And them destroying everything around all the possible space."
Nixxin sat down. "You're saying I should just stop? And then just vanish?"
The man sees the gray at his eyes. "I'm saying, whoever gets the light is the one who has hope... Whoever gets the light has the law, rules, comfort, vision, money, and life; that's why you should use your light better, as you already have the vision."
Nixxin lies on the ground, the brightness starting to loosen until he only sees tiles and his reflection in blood. Wia raises her head while she's crying; she's talking about something Nixxin can't hear. Nixxin already has wings as big as his wingspan. Nixxin looks at his reflection in Wia's eye; Nixxin is glowing.
Nixxin's eye is built for dark places; yet, he has the vision to go to the light. Nixxin hugs Wia; if light is hope, it's only for those who have light. "Wia, I just planned to come back to the place where I feel free."
Nixxin looks at Wia; the doctor comes in, and he looks at Nixxin's head for what happened. Nixxin falls out of the bed while sleeping; the tiles his head fell on got broken, and the driver that brings them is still outside, waiting to get the money he needs to fix the car.
