-- Part Two ... Stuck In Her Mind --
"Hey brother, isn't that so interesting? She looks like me!" Neya said cheerfully, her light brown eyes reverted back to the olive green and she had a huge smile on her face.
Glenn just stared at Leena, his dark mist-colored eyes still confused. A look of, what-are-you-doing-here was plastered on his face. Leena stared back at him, her palms were moist and she felt extremely hot, her bangs were getting damp from her sweat.
"Glenn..." She said, Leena blushed. She looked absolutely terrible.
"Leena... How..." Glenn managed, almost choking on his words.
"Oh, you guys know each other!?" Neya said, her face was ecstatic and she laughed.
"Well _that_ explains why you were asking about Glenn!"
"Yeah..." Leena said, not exactly registering what Neya was saying since she was so confused. She thought she was extremely confused when she met Serge, but this was even more confusing than that.
"Neya, I'm gonna take a walk with Leena. I have to talk to her," Glenn said flatly.
"Oh sure, you guys have fun!" Neya smiled. "I'm gonna go play with the kids!"
Leena stood up from her wooden chair and followed Glenn out the door and out of Arni Village. They walked towards Opassa Beach slowly, Leena thinking about any possible and logical solutions to this confusion.
"What did you do?" Glenn asked finally, letting the words that were sitting on his tongue free.
"I followed you," Leena said.
"Why?"
"I wanted to know," Leena started. She stopped walking.
"Who are you?" she asked, her voice sounded tired and her eyes looked tired.
"What do you mean?" inquired Glenn.
"Don't joke. I want to know. Who are you?"
"I'm Glenn. You know me," Glenn said, brushing her question away.
"No. I don't know you. You know me!" Leena stomped her foot into the dirt path.
"I don't know you at all Glenn! I don't know you! I don't know you! I only know that you're supposed to be a dream! --and this is no dream!" Leena yelled.
"...what do you expect me to tell you?" Glenn asked quietly.
"Give me a reason! Give me the truth! An explanation!" she yelled.
"Why am I _dreaming_ about you! And why am I here!?"
"That's a good question. Why are you here? Think real hard Leena, what did you do to get here?" Glenn said, putting his hands on Leena's shoulders.
"I followed you! Damn it! I wanted explanations!"
"That's it! You _weren't_ supposed to follow me!"
"Well isn't that too late. I _did_ follow you and you never told me anything!"
"I never thought this would get this far!"
"Well, what did you expect? Me to dream of you forever?"
"No! But.. I didn't expect this..."
"No, you didn't," Leena started, she dug her nails into her palm and her knuckles became white. "But you started this and now I want out!"
Glenn looked up at her. "Out?"
"I WANT OUT!" She screamed.
"Leena..." Glenn started, now calm.
"I can't stand this. EXPLAIN! Explain EVERYTHING!" Leena yelled.
"I can only explain what I know!"
"Well fucking explain!"
"Let's sit first..." Glenn suggested.
He led Leena to a tree, the roots were big enough to be seats so they sat, Leena swung her feet over the water that flowed below the tree.
"Well... this is kind of hard to explain... " Glenn started.
"You know... Serge's Home World and Another World.. this is your world Leena. This is a made-up world..."
"I don't understand.. I never made a world," Leena said, shaking her head.
"No. Everyone has a world, but, it's different and it's pretty much hidden for the rest of their lives. But... I changed that...
I grew up very different from the Glenn you know. I grew up rich in the Vipor Manor with Dario but Vipor Manor's people all got killed when I left as a kid to live and study in Arni. When I went to Arni, I was left with Radius who had left with me. I was still 6 and I met a girl.
Her name was Leena. She was much like you but different. Leena had a younger sister and a father and a mother, but, her father was the only one who called her Leena. Everyone else called her Neya, which was a nick name.
Leena and Serge grew up with the whole crush thing and I became close to both, though I'm five years older than Neya and three years older than Serge. We were still close.
Anyway, I left and came back every once in a while. I became an adventurer. In this world, I'm 22 and Neya is 17.
Neya's father died five years ago, so the whole 'Leena' name dropped and it didn't exactly exist...
A year ago, I challenged the world. I had no clue what was out there, in the ocean so I went on a boat and kept on going. I didn't stop. And when my boat finally stopped, I reached an Opassa Beach exactly like this.
And there you were. I talked to you that first day.
And I somehow knew everything about you. I don't know how but I did.
Then I figured out that I could keep on coming, so I kept on coming. And coming. To meet you. But... I never thought this would happen."
"I want to go back home," Leena said.
"You can't, not yet," Glenn interrupted.
"Why not?" Leena said, arching an eyebrow.
"Because, I suspect you're in a coma right now."
"What!?"
"Well, since you followed. You're in the world you were never supposed to be, you're world. So you're stuck in your own mind. That's what I suspect..." Glenn told her.
"I'm stuck in my own mind!? But... but... " Leena's words were stuck.
How could she be stuck in her own mind. This couldn't have been happening to her. Her. Her. This was some joke. Some twisted joke, but she knew. This wasn't a joke. This wasn't a joke. This wasn't a joke.
"How long... do you think... ? "
"I don't know. But we have to find a way," Glenn said.
".. I... Glenn..." Leena spoke, her words just silent whispers. She stared at the water, seeing herself. Seeing herself. Herself.
And that reminded her. She was stuck in herself. In her mind.
This half scared Leena and half confused her. She felt dizzy... her mind hurt... and she hurt... her head hurt... and her mind was becoming blank... she started to see ... black........
"Leena!"
She heard her name echoe in her mind. In her mind.
But she was stuck in her mind.
So how did it echo in her mind...?
"Leena!"
Her name again. Someone was calling.. her.
And her name echoed again, in all sides of her mind.
Echoing and echoing...
Black...
