Nick absentmindedly left Dark Dream and walked to the hotel.
Without talking to anyone, Nick entered his room and fell onto his bed.
And just stared at the ceiling.
For several minutes.
Nick felt like he was thinking about something, but he had no idea what he was thinking about.
He just kept looking.
And thinking.
About ten minutes later, Nick turned to his side and looked at the wall.
He still wasn't sure what he was thinking about.
'I didn't want to work, and now, I don't have to work.'
Silence.
'I don't know.'
'I don't even know if I am happy that I don't have to work or not.'
'Now, I'm just lying here, doing nothing.'
Eventually, Nick closed his eyes.
'I don't care anymore.'
'I'll just go to sleep.'
Time passed.
30 minutes later, Nick opened his eyes again.
He hadn't fallen asleep.
