Why should I untie you?

[Reflect activated.]

Reflect?

What the hell...

Sam's consciousness was foggy, as if surrounded by an endless darkness. 

But soon, he realized something crucial—he was still conscious. Had he already entered the dream world Mia had crafted for him?

Sam suddenly lifted his head. He could clearly feel his limbs move, and there was no dizziness clouding his mind. Yet, all around him was pitch black, to the extent that even lifting his hand, he couldn't see his own palm. It was as if he was in a black hole, where all light had been utterly extinguished.

Wasn't it said that Reflect had been activated? Why then was this the situation? 

If Reflect had started, shouldn't Sam be controlling Mia's dream instead? Could it be that Mia's dream was just this—a desolate darkness?
