It was that the feeling of sadness was too real, the pain was too piercing; she abruptly opened her eyes, awakening from the dream...
Her heart was still thumping erratically, sweat had soaked her, her mind was in turmoil, and tears kept streaming down, unstoppable. It was agony. The moment the knife penetrated her body, she had heard the sound of love shattering clearly. The love she had thought unbreakable shattered before her like an ice sculpture, breaking into countless pieces.
For quite a while, she remained in a dazed shock.
After some time, she gradually came to her senses, or perhaps she had been unconscious for so long that she could no longer distinguish dream from reality.
Looking around, she realized she was in an unfamiliar place.
