01. ghostly dream..

"You should try fighting for what you believe in sometime, Jack. Not for a company, or for a nation, or for anyone else."

Jack suddenly woke up. After his fight against Armstrong in order to stop the great war, he must receive quite serious treatment for it. During treatment, he was used to enduring pain.

Now showing 02.40 AM.

The silence in the treatment room was still felt for him. Feels like before.

He looked around so calm and still.

But when he looked to his left...

He felt like he heard someone in the shadows there.

The sound of sighs that were weak but quite sinister slowly began to approach him.

For some reason, the sound just disappeared.

(maybe it's just my feelings.) he thought..

At first he thought it was just the sound of the wind coming in from one of the windows. But when he was about to close his eyes again..

Tap!!.

The sound of footsteps could be heard, which made him feel alert.

"Who is there?!"

Surprisingly, his hands suddenly could not move. It's like someone is holding him back.

The sound is getting closer...

Worse yet, it turned out that something began to cover his hand until it turned black with a line of fire. Not long after, his hand moved on its own as long as it was still changing color. He tried to fight but he was struggling. At the same time..

"You can't fight your destiny. Jack!"

His hands moved quickly to his neck.

Until all he felt was darkness and silence.

___

Unfortunately it just didn't last long.

He suddenly woke up from his sleep.

He had been asleep for 15 hours due to the recovery process after the tough battle he faced at that time. He looked around.. the atmosphere was quiet, but some medical equipment was around..

He looked at his hands, everything looked fine, even though it only left scratches from his nano-suit.

He was silent for a moment. Sigh..

Not long after, he heard footsteps coming from the left. The same voice as in the dream.

The voice is getting closer...

Until..

"raiden."

"doktor"

He was relieved because his doctor was the one who approached him. Although a little worried.

"You don't look good. Are you all right?"

"I'm fine, just.. feeling a little uncomfortable."

Feeling suspicious. The doctor tried to examine jack .. but instantly, he smiled.

"Raiden. I understand that you have undergone nano recovery in your body. Well, since the examination is over... why don't you take a walk for a while."

Hearing that, he was even confused .. but because the doctor looks like insisting. So, he was forced to follow the advice.
