Without a doubt, the life that Father Ludwig had arranged for Bernadino was incomparably bright.
And Annan could see that.
The priest hadn't just raised the orphaned Bernadino out of pure compassion, without expecting anything in return... He had seen Bernadino's talent and hoped to cultivate him as his successor, imparting his own sculpting art to him.
Perhaps the reason Father Ludwig chose to live as a hermit here was another story altogether.
And as the priest's voice faded away, a new main quest finally appeared before Annan.
[Main Quest: Play the role of Bernadino]
Immediately, beneath these words, a slew of smaller text quickly emerged.
But the content within made Annan slightly startled:
[Don't regret it]
[Wake up quickly]
[Survive]
— The long-missed "survive".
Annan reflected silently.
It was truly befitting of a nightmare with the "repetition" feature.
All things past would become abstracted in this nightmare.
