After I apologized, he lets go of my chin but his eyes are still glued on me.

I immediately look down at the black grey pavement due to the awkwardness I'm feeling.

Later on, the black concrete is replaced by a blue vortex. I hopped away from it but it never failed to follow me.

My eyes gazed at Nine. It's not the right time to leave. He's alone completely defenseless.

I cursed under my breath. When I want to get back to my world, the vortex doesn't show up. And now that I badly don't want to leave, it just pops out of nowhere and drags me into it without a warning!

I squint my eyes when I notice something above Nine's head. Okay, it did warn me. Ambiguously. Faded bluish little zero never gets tired in flickering above him.

"I'm sorry but I have to go," I shyly apologized, "take care," I told him afterwards, waving idly.

"That's what you're really good at. Apologizing," he hissed, "you are the one who should take care. You might get trapped between realms."

About what Nine said? I think he's right

About what Nine said? I think he's right. I have no absolute idea where the vortex just lead me.

I pushed the floor with my palms to get up from the dusty reddish barren ground. Did I just landed on Mars? But why am I still breathing?

I scan the area thoroughly. No trees can be spotted. The sun appears to be shining brightly but it doesn't pierce my skin. Actually, no sweat at all. The air even feels nonexistent. Although I can still respire which is quite odd. My eyes then stops at the only establishment that can only be seen in the premises. It's only a few sprints away.

I decide to walk towards the building. I inspect it as I take my cautious steps. We don't know, this place is full of traps and this place could be the end of me. And that is not a good information.

The establishment looks more like a house to me as I get nearer to it and the noises from it becomes clearer as crystal. It looks like there's a party. I can totally hear Payno's Strip that Down from here.
