Wait a moment.
Rise's words left him, and he could only stare at Riri with such an astounded expression that it even made him stop crying, though his eyes were still filled with tears.
It could not be helped. Rise was just too dumbfounded by what was happening; he never expected this at all. And so, he was speechless and could only look at Riri and think of the reason this happened.
Maybe because Riri was special? He could glimpse through destiny, after all.
"Riri," he called the little monster's name softly. He nodded as an answer. So, Rise continued. "Can you remember everything?" He still decided to ask to confirm.
Again, Riri nodded cutely and began to sniffle again, holding back his tears. "I... I'm so scared. I wake up then... then... I'm back here." The experience seemed so bad to recall that Riri could not help it anymore, and fresh tears fell down his cheeks again.
