It's not true, right?

Kyle snapped back and stared at the man who had a smug expression on his face.

"It's not true, right?"

The man rubbed his hands and neared the distance between them, only to retreat in the next second when he sensed the murderous aura around Kyle.

"Of course it's true. All this happened while you were in this place."

Kyle's expression hardened, and he clenched his fists even tighter. He thought he had only spent a few hours in the mind space, but the situation inside the projection told him a different story altogether.

"How much time has passed...? A week, or two?"

The man blinked and raised one of his hands. Kyle glanced at his fingers and stared at him with bated breath.

"Five weeks...?"

However, the man shook his head and raised his second hand as well before showing him eight fingers.

"No, it's been eight... months."

Kyle vanished, and the man freaked out when Kyle grabbed his robe with dark eyes.
