The fight from within [5]

It was just as quiet as the first time. 

Stairs lined up from the side, spiraling toward a central platform where a wooden railing stood, allowing one to overlook the black marble floor that was dimly lit by the chandelier that stood up above. 

A suffocating silence enveloped the hall as the gentle click of my step resounded throughout. 

Tak—

I looked around me, recalling every little detail of the vision I had not so long ago. 

I recalled everything. 

From the little cracks around the marble floor to the minute crevices on the stairs that lead up to the platform above. 

....It was all the same as in the vision. 

Almost... 

"...." 

I held my breath as my steps paused. 

As I slowly lifted my head, my gaze settled on the center of the platform, where a statue stood. Its hollow eyes were fixed on me, its empty gaze bearing down my soul as my head started to feel light.
