Chapter 44 - File AG : "Admirable Gain"

As the dreamworld friends donned their sproutmole masks and prepared their weapons and items, a sudden commotion of spaceship sounds filled the air. They exchanged curious glances before exiting the bedchambers together, their disguises firmly in place. Just then, a royal guard sproutmole, identifying himself as Sir Maximus the Third, charged towards them.

"I, Sir Maximus the Third, father of Sir Maximus the Second and grandfather of Sir Maximus the First, shall prevent you guests from trying to escape!" the sproutmole exclaimed, clearly agitated. "Her Highness suspects you are the reason the spaceship is here."

Dreamworld Kel gasped in astonishment. "Spaceship? Do you mean the Space captain and crew are here?" he exclaimed, his eyes widening with anticipation and curiosity. The mention of a spaceship hinted at unexpected arrivals and potential adventures yet to unfold.

As the Royal guard sproutmole stubbornly attempted to use its sharpest blade-like sprout head, Omori effortlessly parried the attack with his knife, his expression remaining blank yet focused. The crimson-colored tip of the blade glinted under the castle's dim lighting as he spoke, "Guys, I think we need to fight another one to get past this obstacle."

Dreamworld Hero, known for his compassionate nature, spoke softly, "Yet, we can still heal him after the battle, right? We don't want to harm any of Sweetheart's people unnecessarily."

Dreamworld Mari chuckled at Hero's remark, teasingly adding, "Oh, so Hero is becoming more pacifist? I guess we'll have to handle this one without causing too much harm, then."

With a nod from Dreamworld Aubrey and a determined look from Dreamworld Basil, the group prepared to engage in battle with the Royal guard sproutmole, aiming to subdue rather than harm as they navigated through the castle's challenges.

Since this is a four party system and they are all ready adept with this set up the the other two party members are buffers , debuggers for the enemy or support. In this case currently it's Omori , Dreamworld Basil , Dreamworld Hero and Dreamworld Aubrey in the main party while Dreamworld Kel and Dreamworld Kel provide support (as only the main party can use their attacks/weapons and skills for the offensive and defensive)

As the battle commenced in a turn-based RPG style, each member of the main party and support team swiftly took their positions. Omori, with his agile movements and precision, aimed his knife for precise strikes at vulnerable spots on the Royal guard sproutmole's armor.

Dreamworld Basil used his strategic skills to analyze the enemy's weaknesses and strengths, providing crucial information to the team for more effective attacks. His floral straw hat bobbed slightly as he moved, focusing on coordinating the group's efforts.

Dreamworld Hero, known for his bravery and combat prowess, wielded his frying pan with expertise, delivering powerful blows and stunning the enemy with well-timed strikes. His pastel dark blue hair swayed as he moved swiftly around the battlefield.

Dreamworld Aubrey, with her tactical mindset and quick reflexes, utilized her umbrella both defensively and offensively. She shielded the team from incoming attacks while also using it to deliver precise strikes and debuffs to the Royal guard sproutmole.

Meanwhile, Dreamworld Kel and Dreamworld Mari worked seamlessly as a support duo. Dreamworld Kel provided healing and buffs to keep the main party in top condition, while Dreamworld Mari used her magical abilities to weaken the enemy and disrupt its attacks.

The battle unfolded with a dance of strategy and skill, each member contributing their unique abilities to whittle down the Royal guard sproutmole's defenses and eventually emerge victorious. As the enemy fell, the team regrouped, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead in Sweetheart's castle.

With practiced coordination, Dreamworld Basil and Omori executed a well-planned combo attack. Dreamworld Basil deftly wielded his shears, positioning them strategically for maximum impact. Omori, always observant and analytical, nodded in approval as he noticed the subtle signs that they had indeed discovered a potential weak spot in Sir Maximus the third's defenses.

The team's experience in battle and their ability to adapt quickly to new challenges were evident as they worked seamlessly together. Dreamworld Basil's precision with the shears combined perfectly with Omori's strategic insights, creating openings in the enemy's armor and allowing for more significant damage to be inflicted.

As the battle progressed, the team continued to exploit their newfound advantage, keeping up the pressure on Sir Maximus the third and steadily wearing down its defenses. Their coordinated efforts and tactical prowess proved to be key factors in overcoming the enemy and achieving victory in the encounter.

As the battle intensified, the group decided to unleash an all-out attack, pooling their skills and abilities to maximize their offensive potential. Despite sustaining mild damage from Sir Maximus the Third's earlier attacks, their determination to emerge victorious only grew stronger.

Dreamworld Hero utilized his cooking skills to prepare healing items, replenish their health, and provide much-needed sustenance to the team. Dreamworld Mari lent her expertise, enhancing the healing properties of the items with an extra boost, ensuring that they could recover swiftly and stay in top fighting condition.

Meanwhile, Dreamworld Kel took on the role of debuffer, strategically targeting and weakening Sir Maximus the third's stats, making it more vulnerable to their subsequent attacks. His support in reducing the enemy's effectiveness played a crucial part in turning the tide of the battle in their favor.

With their coordinated efforts and effective utilization of their individual strengths, the group managed to outmaneuver Sir Maximus the third, gradually wearing it down until they emerged victorious. Their teamwork, adaptability, and strategic planning proved instrumental in overcoming the challenges they faced during the encounter.

As the battle reached its climax, the group's coordinated efforts paid off, culminating in a decisive victory over Sir Maximus the third. The experience gained from the intense battle significantly boosted their levels, pushing them beyond the previous level 9 threshold to levels 10 or 11. Their newfound strength and skills showcased their growth and readiness to face even greater challenges ahead.

With Sir Maximus the third on the brink of defeat, Dreamworld Mari and Dreamworld Hero, the senior members of the group, called for a halt to the battle. Recognizing that they had achieved their objective and secured victory, they opted to conclude the encounter and savor their hard-earned success.

As they stop , Omori slice away the blade of Sir Maximus the third's sprout head to prevent further attacks as he calmly spoke "Give up now?"

As it complains "Hah?!!! Why spare me?!! I am a warrior and you have made shame to my sproutline by beating my Grandson and Son.."

Omori's calm demeanor contrasted with Sir Maximus the third's defiant stance, as the sproutmole warrior questioned why he was being spared. Dreamworld Aubrey and Dreamworld Kel shared a mutual sense of amusement at Sir Maximus's complaints, knowing full well that it was the other Royal Guard Sproutmoles' aggressive actions that had led to the confrontation.

Dreamworld Aubrey, with a hint of sarcasm, remarked, "Perhaps because we prefer not to add unnecessary casualties to our victories."

Dreamworld Kel added, "Besides, it's not like you were fighting fair with that armor of yours. We just evened the odds."

Then the sproutmole coughs until it got healed , which was Dreamworld Hero lending him some healing tea and Dreamworld Mari some cookies from her picnic basket that can also heal.

It was speechless when Dreamworld Hero says "Well guess you should also know we spared your grandson and son too so please leave us be and we're on our way out…."

Dreamworld Hero's calm and diplomatic demeanor, coupled with Dreamworld Mari's healing gestures, seemed to soften the sproutmole warrior's disposition. The sproutmole, now healed and somewhat humbled, was at a loss for words as Dreamworld Hero politely suggested that they should let bygones be bygones and allow them to continue their journey without further confrontation.

Dreamworld Aubrey chimed in, "We have no interest in causing trouble. We're simply passing through."

Dreamworld Kel nodded in agreement, signaling their intent to move on peacefully.

Their actions and words reflected their desire to avoid unnecessary conflict and maintain a harmonious journey through the dreamworld.

Dreamworld Basil added with a soft spoken tone "Yeah , so Uhh Sir Maximus the third please don't be mad at your grandson and son. The biggest shame is actually losing them right? Atleast we spared them.."

As Dreamworld Basil left to join the group, Sir Maximus the third, despite his initial anger, couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude towards the group for sparing his family members. With a gruff but slightly softened tone, he grumbled, "Fine, fine. Just go on your way then, but remember this act of mercy, Dreamers!" He then turned to attend to his sproutmoles, pondering over the events that transpired and the unexpected compassion shown by those he initially saw as intruders.

Meanwhile , Omori was running ahead while the rest follow.

Dreamworld Aubrey gasp pointing at the main stage or formerly was like it now broken wooden floor parked by a familiar cosmic spaceship and it was Capt.Spaceboy and his crew!!! He is calming them down before he was busy shouting to say "Sweetheart!!!! I know you may not like me here in your territory yet can we at-least talk?"

As Capt.Spaceboy shouted to Sweetheart, Dreamworld Aubrey, with wide eyes, exclaimed, "Oh my gosh! It's Capt.Spaceboy and his crew!" She pointed towards the broken wooden floor where the cosmic spaceship was parked, and everyone hurried to catch up to Omori, who was already ahead.

Capt.Spaceboy continued, trying to reason with Sweetheart, "I understand if you don't want me here, but there are things we need to discuss. Can we please have a civil conversation?"

Dreamworld Kel whispered to Dreamworld Mari, "This is getting intense. What do you think Sweetheart will do?"

Dreamworld Mari, with a thoughtful expression, replied, "I hope she considers hearing him out. It might be important."

Dreamworld Hero and the rest nodded in agreement as he whispered to Dreamworld Mari, "Hopefully, after our discussion back at her bedchambers, she'll consider it."

Surprisingly, Sweetheart huffed and blushed at Capt.Spaceboy's presence, exclaiming, "You cosmic nimrod! How dare you not only trespass in my territory but also ruin my castle ceiling and stage!"

Dreamworld Aubrey whispered to Dreamworld Kel, "Looks like things are heating up again. Do you think they'll resolve this peacefully?"

Dreamworld Kel shrugged and asked, "What do ya think, Omori?"

Omori, busy eating popcorn, casually handed some to his friends, saying, "Here. honestly, this might be the best Sweetheart content we can witness."

Dreamworld Basil blinked and commented, "That's a bit heartless, Omori... Oh, look—"

They all watched what happened next as Capt.Spaceboy laughed at Sweetheart's compliment, leaving her confused yet intrigued.

Capt.Spaceboy chuckled and replied, "Oh, Sweetheart, you always know how to make an entrance! But seriously, I didn't mean to ruin anything. It's just that your territory is so... lively!"

Sweetheart's frustration eased a bit at the compliment, and she smirked, "Well, at least you have good taste in spaceships. What brings you here, other than causing chaos?"

Capt.Spaceboy's smile softened, and he said, "I came to see you, of course. Missed our banter and the chaos we used to cause together."

Dreamworld Aubrey whispered to Dreamworld Mari, "Looks like old flames still have some sparks, huh?"

Dreamworld Mari nodded, watching the interaction with interest, wondering how this unexpected reunion would unfold.

Sweetheart exhales crossing

Her arms recalling what Omori and his friends discuss with her despite her ego and pride saying "Hmph , You still seen not over me are you?"

As Capt.Spaceboy blush "So what?!!! It's just I really just wanna talk to you that's all after awhile!!! We didn't talk this break up out.."

Sweetheart's expression softened slightly at Capt.Spaceboy's words, and she replied, "Fine, talk then. But no funny business or chaos. I have a reputation to maintain, you know."

Capt.Spaceboy grinned, "Of course, no chaos, I promise. Just a civilized conversation."

The dreamworld friends exchanged glances, knowing that despite Sweetheart's tough exterior, she had a soft spot for Capt.Spaceboy. They waited to see how this unexpected meeting would unfold, hoping for some resolution and perhaps even reconciliation between the two.

Omori observe yet felt odd why this is so familiar like a flicker of reality of two adult figures arguing before back at present when he got his eyes covered by Dreamworld Mari that got him confuse , while some others of their group also got their eyes covered except dreamworld Hero as actually what happens next Sweetheart decided to teasingly kiss Capt.Spaceboy that made him squeak as she mockingly says "So what? You wanted this RIGHT? While we chat privately?"

As she froze when Capt.Spaceboy says handsomely "Don't take this lightly like last time Sweetheart I changed….for better to understand how to deal with you—" kiss her more deeply before exhale thar actually flustered Sweetheart as Capt.Spaceboy said "Please , yes I miss you yet besides that I wanna find a way if we can try again? I know we're opposites sometimes yet….can I be your boyfriend again? No would you prefer beloved?"

As Sweetheart pause "wait , Spaceboy…you still watch…my show…on tv despite our break up before now?" Shock voice 

Dreamworld Mari gently removed her hands from Omori's eyes as he blinked, trying to make sense of the unexpected scene unfolding before him. Dreamworld Hero, who wasn't covered, watched with a mix of amusement and concern.

Capt.Spaceboy's heartfelt words seemed to catch Sweetheart off guard, and she hesitated before responding, "I... I didn't know you still watched my show. I thought... I thought you moved on."

Capt.Spaceboy's expression softened, "I may have moved on, but that doesn't mean I stopped caring about you. I've been hoping we could talk things out, and maybe... start anew."

Sweetheart's gaze softened, and she admitted, "I've missed you too, Spaceboy. But things have changed. Can we really make it work this time?"

Capt.Spaceboy nodded earnestly, "I'm willing to try if you are. We can take it slow and figure things out."

Dreamworld Hero whispered to Dreamworld Mari, "Looks like they might reconcile after all."

Dreamworld Mari smiled, happy to see a potential happy ending for Sweetheart and Capt.Spaceboy.

Dreamworld Aubrey and Dreamworld Basil quietly cheer on eating popcorn once their eyes aren't covered while Dreamworld Kel says "Uhhh bleh…Really? Can sweetheart really change herself? Hopefully Capt.Spaceboy won't be tuned down by that lady…"

Dreamworld Aubrey and Dreamworld Basil nodded in agreement, enjoying the unfolding drama. Dreamworld Kel's skepticism was evident as he expressed his doubts about Sweetheart's ability to change, hoping that Capt.Spaceboy wouldn't be disappointed if Sweetheart reverted to her old ways.

Dreamworld Hero, always the optimist, reassured Dreamworld Kel that people can change and that perhaps their earlier discussion with Sweetheart had indeed made her reflect on her actions. Dreamworld Mari nodded in agreement, adding that sometimes a little perspective can go a long way in shifting someone's mindset.

Meanwhile , as Omori observe he calmly spoke "Look , they are nuzzling their noses.."

As Capt.Spaceboy nuzzles his head to Sweetheart that does it in return holding

Hands , she ask him "You sure? You won't regret spending time with a regal star like me?"

Capt.Spaceboy, still in a state of bliss, reassured Sweetheart that he wouldn't regret spending time with her and expressed his desire to try again, asking if she would be his beloved.

Then they pause as Omori and his friends watch with the other Sproutmoles and space crew mates at the backround as Sweetheart got her heart racing smiling to say "Going to the chase are we? OH SPROUTMOLE Mike!!! Do we still have our sproutmole musicians and other staff around? Let's prepare that setup if a Suitor becomes my beloved!!!"

Capt.Spaceboy whistles awkwardly waiting.

As Sweetheart prepared for the setup and signaled for the sproutmole musicians and staff to arrange, Capt.Spaceboy waited with a mix of anticipation and nervousness, curious about how the situation would unfold.

Later on , the scene unfolded as the sproutmole musician played some romantic wedding bells and the staff set up a proposal altar for them.

Some instantly magically make them wear formal clothing without losing their face aesthetic and colors (Sweetheart is pinkish ,regal and a lot of cutsey bows. Capt.Spaceboy has cosmic colors like mostly blue , green , aquamarine and in between a bit of violet) 

As Sproutmole Mike announce "Alright Capt.Spaceboy right? So would you be willing to take her highness — Sweetheart's hand in partnership as her beloved for life?" 

Capt.Spaceboy stood before Sweetheart, his cosmic colors shimmering in the romantic ambience. He took a deep breath, looking into Sweetheart's eyes with sincerity. "Yes, I would," he said, his voice filled with determination and affection.

Sweetheart blushed, feeling a rush of emotions as she smiled brightly at Capt.Spaceboy. "Then let's seal it with a kiss," she said playfully, leaning in as the sproutmole musicians played a romantic melody in the background.

Then , as they kiss romantically with roses puffing thrown by other inhabitants as audience.

Dreamworld Hero and Dreamworld Mari drag them away as Dreamworld Aubrey and Dreamworld Basil says "awww…why can't we see anymore?"

As Omori spoke casually "I think we're not old enough to see what else they were up to.."

As the now Re-engaged couple in the background ride back to Capt.Spaceboy's ship as his crew mates ask "Wait were bringing her with us Captain? Would her people not mind it?"

The re-engaged couple, Sweetheart and Capt.Spaceboy, rode back to Capt.Spaceboy's ship amidst cheers and celebration from the sproutmoles and space crew. Sweetheart waved happily to her people, who were now cheering for her new journey.

Capt.Spaceboy grinned at his crew, assuring them, "Don't worry; Sweetheart and I have some plans to work things out. Besides, who knows? Maybe a cosmic princess on board might bring some luck to our adventures!"

With that, the ship's doors closed, and they set off into the cosmic unknown, leaving behind a trail of excitement and newfound hope.

Then as they left the parking spot where they crash the main stage floor of sweetheart , the other Sproutmoles cheered for their princess. Praising fanfare for her finding her love!!!

As things calm down , the dreamworld friends double check of any danger before setting off until Sproutmole mIke said "wait ohh guests!!!! I just want to say not just behalf of her Highness yet also us the Sproutmoles for doing so much for us!!! You sure you may not need anything else besides seeking her audience earlier?"

As before the rest could reply Omori spoke "Can you lend us some better gear or items to use! Or if not lend us extra clams for currency…"

Sproutmole Mike nodded enthusiastically, impressed by their bravery and assistance. "Of course! Consider it a token of our gratitude for all that you've done. Here are some upgraded gear and items to aid you in your future adventures, and here's a generous amount of clams for your travels. Safe journeys, brave guests!"

With their new gear and resources, the dreamworld friends thanked Sproutmole Mike and the other sproutmoles before heading off on their next adventure, ready to face whatever challenges awaited them.

As they were about to leave , they pause as Dreamworld Aubrey cries in tears of joy while Dreamworld Kel ask "What? You crying now? Is this because how Sweetheart find somesort of romance?" Unamused face

Dreamworld Aubrey wiped her tears, chuckling softly. "No, no, it's not about that. I'm just happy for Sweetheart, but I'm also emotional because of everything we've been through together. We've come a long way, and seeing Sweetheart's happiness reminds me of the bonds we share."

Dreamworld Kel nodded understandingly, his expression softening. "Yeah, it's been quite a journey. We've faced challenges, but we've also grown closer as friends. It's moments like these that make it all worth it."

With a renewed sense of camaraderie and determination, the dreamworld friends bid farewell to the sproutmoles and set off on their next adventure, ready to face whatever trials and triumphs awaited them.

Before they leave , Omori froze and had an eerie feeling of phobia or blackspace creature hallucinations kick in as he turn around to glance and notice only for a short moment a flicker of a black silhouette that looked like Basil until there's nothing.

Then , as he turned he got worried internally when Dreamworks Mari spoke "wait speaking of which where's Basil?"

As Dreamworld Kel points "wait…his flower petal trails are left around to that Uhh…big giant hole The spaceship created on that main stage…"

Omori's heart skipped a beat as he realized something was amiss. "Basil... He must have noticed something too," Omori muttered, his concern growing evident on his face.

Dreamworld Mari's expression mirrored Omori's worry. "We have to find him. Those blackspace creatures, they're not something to take lightly."

Dreamworld Kel nodded in agreement. "Let's track his flower petal trails and see where they lead. Basil might be in trouble."

With determination, the dreamworld friends set out to follow Basil's trail, hoping to find him safe and sound despite the ominous signs of danger.

As they follow , they nodded and held hands diving inside however as Omori realize as they delve deeper to the dark abyss of the hole

His friends vanish by his side bit by bit except Dreamworld Mari (which he recall maybe it's due to that other time accidentally being dragged to black space with him without disappearing) they are now in a half sunken more bluish and mossy library written somewhere as the lost library with many dim lights to pack.

Omori turns to Mari who seems troubled just hiding it with a smile asking "Mari…you can put me down now, yet hmm…Why are we the only ones able to enter this place?"

It's fascinating how Dreamworld Mari has a unique connection or ability to navigate through these unusual spaces with Omori. Her smile hid her concerns well, but Omori could sense her unease.

Mari gently lowered Omori to the ground, her expression thoughtful. "I'm not sure why it's just us, Omori. Maybe it has something to do with our past experiences with the blackspace. It's like we have a connection that allows us to traverse these strange realms."

Omori nodded, understanding the gravity of their situation. "We need to find Basil and figure out what this place is about. It feels important, like there's something hidden here."

With renewed determination, Omori and Dreamworld Mari ventured deeper into the lost library, searching for any signs of their missing friend and clues about the mysterious realm they found themselves in.

As they walk to the puddles of water in the abandoned library floor , Omori cut through cobwebs through his knife casually however he and Mari felt unease seeing a weird foggy figure silhouette of white that looks like a Mari lookalike yet unsure if it was giggling and ushering them to follow her.

Omori and Dreamworld Mari exchanged wary glances, unsure of what to make of the strange foggy figure resembling Mari. Despite their unease, curiosity got the better of them, and they cautiously followed the giggling silhouette deeper into the abandoned library.

As they moved through the dimly lit corridors, Omori kept a tight grip on his knife while Mari remained vigilant, her eyes scanning their surroundings for any signs of danger. The foggy figure continued to lead them with playful gestures, occasionally vanishing into wisps of mist before reappearing further ahead.

Omori whispered to Mari, "This feels surreal. Do you think it's a trick or something else?"

Mari nodded, her expression serious. "It could be a manifestation of this place or someone trying to guide us. Let's stay cautious and see where it leads."

With cautious steps, they followed the mysterious foggy figure deeper into the lost library, prepared for whatever secrets or challenges awaited them.

Then , Omori turn and notice Dreamworld Mari fascinate with the ladders and books of the shelves before finally reaching one book as it reads (the names are blank or redacted) "it's the year [] [] [] [] , Me and my family just moved to [][][][][][][] town and they hope we make new friends!!!"

As Omori scoot close and doesn't know why it sounds like a surreal sense of deja vu for information as he silently nudge to let Dreamworld Mari keep reading.

Dreamworld Mari's eyes widened as she read the entry, her curiosity piqued by the familiarity of the details. She continued to scan through the pages, uncovering snippets of events and places that felt oddly reminiscent yet shrouded in mystery. Omori observed her reactions, sensing her intrigue growing with each page turned.

As Dreamworld Mari delved deeper into the journal, she whispered to Omori, "This feels strangely personal, like someone's memories are reaching out to us. But why here, and why now?"

Omori nodded, his mind racing with questions. "It's like a puzzle waiting to be solved. Let's keep reading, maybe we'll find more clues."

Together, they combed through the journal, piecing together fragments of a past life that seemed intertwined with their own. The eerie sensation of deja vu lingered, adding to the enigma of the lost library and its secrets waiting to be unraveled.

Next they both read aloud "Ohh look!!! We finally moved my [][][][][] here!!! It's heavy yet again it is a large instrument!!! And besides we met the [][][][][][][] family that has these two amazing boys!!! They are brothers tehee!!! One of them is nicknamed [][][][] yet his real name is Henry while his little bro that shares the same age as mine

Is nickname [][][]!!! Can't wait for them to hangout more often!!!"

Dreamworld Mari's eyes widened with excitement as she read aloud, her voice filled with wonder, "It sounds like they're talking about us, Omori! Henry and [][][][], could that be us?"

Omori leaned in, scanning the words with keen interest. "It's definitely referring to us. But who could have written this? And why does it feel so familiar yet distant?"

Dreamworld Mari flipped through the pages, searching for more clues. "Here, it mentions a special place they used to visit, a hidden spot by the riverbank. Do you remember anything like that?"

Omori shook his head, puzzled. "No, I don't recall anything like that. But it's strange how this journal seems to connect our pasts in some way."

As they continued reading, the journal revealed snippets of shared experiences and fond memories, painting a picture of a time long gone yet strangely familiar. The mystery deepened, leaving Omori and Dreamworld Mari with more questions than answers about their intertwined histories.

Then , they jump off the ladder as the next pages are emptied then another giggle of that foggy mari lookalike shake their watery floor for them to follow together.

As Omori felt more uneasy yet he can't grasp why.

Instead he went ahead first and grab another book from another ladder of another shelf aisle that reads "Woah this was a fun time to have our pet cat [][][][]….It's so cute and has dark fur although it's like to laze around alot!!!! But aww man [][][]'s Orange Joe spilled the carpet , oh well Mom and Dad said it's fine…Ohh no the kitty likes the mess? Hehe…"

As Omori read the words aloud, Dreamworld Mari joined him, her curiosity piqued. "It's like a glimpse into someone's childhood. The way they talk about their pet cat and the spilled carpet—it feels so real."

Omori nodded, scanning through the pages for more details. "The way they describe their daily life and the little mishaps—it's oddly comforting yet eerie at the same time."

Dreamworld Mari pointed to another passage. "Look here, they mention a special tree in their backyard where they used to play. Could it be the same place we used to play?"

Omori's expression softened as memories flooded back. "Yes, it could be. That tree was like our secret hideout. But who could have recorded all this?"

The foggy figure of the Mari lookalike appeared again, beckoning them further into the dimly lit library. Omori and Dreamworld Mari exchanged a glance, silently agreeing to follow the mysterious trail of memories.

As they followed more , Omori felt a jumpscare when he turn to Dreamworld Mari and when her hair gets messy and it's dark in most area of the lost library it looks like something haunting like a messy hair with red circle a the back and one eye staring back like a shadowy silhouette.

As Dreamworld Mari touch his shoulder "Omori , little brother you okay?"

Omori took a deep breath, trying to shake off the sudden chill that ran down his spine. "Yeah, just caught me off guard for a moment. It's probably just the dim lighting playing tricks on us."

Dreamworld Mari nodded, her expression concerned. "We should stick close together. This place feels... unsettling."

As they continued, Omori couldn't shake off the feeling of being watched. The eerie atmosphere of the lost library seemed to intensify with each step they took.
