Book 2 Chapter 5

## Verse 1

How many footsteps had it been?

Long had the dark **tunnel** continued,

step-by-step at Parrah and Noya's urging.

There at the end, a stone gate.

Through it, a large shared **space**.

There, once again, **characters**

were gathered from each story.

Protagonist met protagonist.

Parrah and Noya began to **scream**,

much to the confusion of those assembled.

"You've made it! The world's end!"

"You better believe it! This is the

**border** between

**dreams** and **reality**!"

Alice and the others could feel it.

A cold, creeping **dread**...

 What... is this place?

 Dream or not, I'm sleepy.

 Hansel. Hee hee... Gretel?

 Ugh. Not this again.

 Don't take your eyes off of them!

 You'll be dead before you know it!

## Verse 2

Why does none of this bother them?

How can they be so calm in the

face of such slaughter?

## Verse 3

Why is no one else sick of this shit?

Well, then... I'll put them out of their misery!

## Verse 4

No matter what, the justice I believe in will never falter.

No matter when. No matter where.

It is unchangeable and absolute.

## Verse 5

Sleepy... So sleepy...

Who will I be if I sleep...

If you try and stop me, I'll... \*Snore\*

## Verse 6

Soon, my brother dearest.

I love you, Gretel.

Wait... Who am I again?

## Verse 7

I just wanna dish out agony.

Anybody will do.

As long as they fill this hole in me.

You name them, I'll slaughter them! Hehe.

## Verse 8

What this world needs is more misery.

Sorrow is beauty itself.

## Verse 9

My fight continues, no matter what.

I fear not death.

The only true defeat is

corruption of the soul.

## Verse 10

*Before*

"!!!!!!!!!!!!"

At once, they all stopped — frozen solid.

They sensed an unfamiliar presence.

An unbearable, sinister stench filled the

air.

"What... is happening?"

Black shadows oozed from the ground,

gradually taking the shape of men.

"Hehe! He's here! How wonderful!"

It was the worst nightmare of all — Satan.

 Heh. Freaks.

 I agree. Unfortunately.

 You may be strong, but that smell...

 What's that smell? It woke me up.

 Gah hah hah! I'll freaking kill you!

 Prepare to die!

*After*

Satan dissolved into **ash**,

disappearing as quickly as he'd appeared.

But a moment later,

**cracks** began to open in the

Library world.

Parrah and Noya began to dance.

"Kee-hee-hee! So it begins!"

"Welcome to the New World!"

The fissure opened and

within was a new world.

Giant towers of **stone**,

moving **iron contraptions**,

soaring **mechanical birds**...

It was as if a —

"Welcome... to the horrors of

**Reality**."

 ...

 ......

 There's one thing we all believe...

 That only we see truth.

 But we're all mistaken.

 How dare we believe that only we're safe?

 But is it really true?

 The naked eye cannot see all.

 The human ear cannot hear all.

 You're still ignorant.

 Of the real world...

 Of the real "you"...
