"Is anyone there?"

How nostalgic..

Oops, I have to respond..

"Yeah, I can hear you.."

I say those words, not out loud. But towards my own head..

There was a moment of silence after..

Like he was just startled from hearing someone answer him..

I can't believe it took him this quick to contact me..

I guess it had something to do with that new skill I got, but still..

"Ah, sorry I was surprised for a minute there. I-is that you, Jun?"

I knew it..

"Yeah, it's me. Finally woke up?"

"No, I've been searching my way through this godforsaken labyrinth of doors to find this room...probably.."

What do you mean probably?

Well, let's ignore it..

"Where are you right now?"

I hear the sound of rustling around after I asked..

"U-umm, I'm not sure. I think I'm in my subconscious but I don't know where exactly here is.."

"What do you mean you don't know?"

"Well, it's a long story so I'll make it quick.."

"Please do.."

"After I gave up looking for a way out of the labyrinth, an elevator suddenly appeared in front of me."

"An elevator?"

"Umu, that's right.."

"Continue, what did you do when it appeared?"

"I went inside."

"You, you what?"

"I went inside the elevator."

"So you just went inside a strange elevator that suddenly appeared, and didn't think twice about it?"

"Wha-what? I couldn't help it. By the time I noticed, I was already inside, and the doors were closed.."

Ah, I'm getting a headache listening to this..

"Then? Did you get out soon after?"

"No, I went up."

*Smack*

I unconsciously found my palm stuck to my forehead..

Does this guy have no sense of hesitation?

"*Sigh* Then, what happened next?"

I decided to ignore it and get on with the story..

"After I went up, I walked through a hallway with lights, and found a huge doorway.."

Wait a minute..

"Lights? You found lights?"

"Yeah, they were fluorescent ones. Why?"

This was peculiar, I never saw any fluorescent lights inside the labyrinth before..

"Ah, it's nothing. What was inside the doorway?"

But I decided to gather more information from this..

"Well, inside the room, I found a large television, a coffee table, and a leather couch. There was a mouse on the table, and soon after the television turned on, these headphones suddenly appeared out of nowhere.."
