Under the Fate's control

"How can you be in a place where no place exists? I didn't know when I had closed my eyes, but when I opened them again, I was in another land. In a place where everything was normal. 

I thought, for a moment, that my land survived catastrophe somehow... and kept living in that place, where I didn't even know their language, for a while.

Until I met Samuel again."

"In the new world?"

"Yeah. In the place where I hoped to be in my own world, I met Samuel again. But he had changed. His hair had turned white, his pupil has lost color, and his skin was pale. He had changed so much that I couldn't distinguish who he was for a while."

"Wait, wasn't he that white from the beginning?"

Kairen's sudden comment made the man chuckle.
