An intense pain surrounds Allen's forehead. It feels like it was splitting into two. Dragging himself, he tried to walk but within his sight was a blank space. He tripped into his own foot and he knows he cannot move anymore. He was hopeless.
"Allen..." an eerie voice vibrates all across his mind.
And Allen can't recognize where and whom this voice was. He tried to push himself forward, still struggling by the pain he was experiencing.
"Make it stop," Allen pleaded. "Please..."
"Argh!"
Allen woke up. The sun was up and he was suprised that everything is nothing but a dream. He touched his forehead and nothing he felt normal. He examined his face on the mirror which was beside his table. It definitely feels like Allen was waiting for something to happen within his own system. But he quickly brushed off the weird dream and started to fix himself.
Passing through the crowd of scientists (which most of them exchanges morning greetings despite their lack of slumber), he made it on the cafeteria and started drinking his tea. He felt not normal because he doesn't feel any hunger at all. He sighed.
"Allen!" said a voice he definitely recognizes.
Before he even saw the face of his friend, he replied, "Lenalee!"
To his great suprise, it was not Lenalee. He was speechless. On her hands was a pink umbrella with a pumpkin who was smiling back at him.
"The time is up! You are still on my dreams." said Road.
