SIDE STORY (LOU): THE MEANING OF LIFE

"Bad dream?" Nala asked Lou when she was woken up because his body kept trembling. She tried to wake him up, but only managed to do so after two whole minutes. "What happened?"

Lou pushed himself up from the bed and then sat down. He looked outside and it was still night.

"Come here, sleep again," Nala said. It had been five years since the last battle with Decratic, but their relationship didn't improve at all. She was still his woman, someone that would warm his bed if he was in the capital city, but Nala didn't have any idea whether Lou would seek another warmth when he traveled around, which he did a lot.

"No, I am hungry," Lou said, he got off the bed and asked someone to bring him food.

"You look so awful," Nala said, she waited for his reply, but he didn't say anything. He sat down on a single chair and closed his eyes.
