194 Bryson's Memories

'What... is this?"

I couldn't help but click my tongue.

'It took you long enough to wake up. Because of some of your past antics, we're in some deep shit now.'

'...I see that. It appears that the past I tried to ignore has caught up to me once more.'

I narrowed my eyelids slightly, staring at Mr. Nightmare.

'You ready to have a fight for our lives?'

I did not get an immediate response, which made it seem that he was in fact not ready.

'I... am not strong enough to participate in this fight. I am sorry for dragging you into this because of my own foolish beliefs, that problems could simply be buried and forgotten.'

Hearing that, I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

'Really? While I could call you many things from the futures I've seen, such as idiot, piece of shit, and annoying as hell. But you definitely weren't weak, that's for sure.'

'...'

I took a deep breath.
