chapter 1237: leaving dreams behind and facing reality
something incredible happened, not only did sofia's parents, which were clearly nightmares i was about to slay turned back to normal after her words, but they even talked a lot to her.
they told her that she had to stop blaming herself for everything that has happened in her life, and that she had forgiven herself, and then love herself.
that's not something i ever expected to come from a nightmare, they weren't mad, they were conscious of themselves, and also that they were made by sofia.
and somehow, they loved her... despite being nightmares.
"really?" sofia muttered. "is that really true? can i really move on...?"
sofia doubted for a moment, she didn't know if it was fine.
but i knew it was fine, she doesn't have to blame herself for these things.
if i blamed myself for the death of my family all this time, i wouldn't have even been able to accomplish half of the things i did.
after sofia's words, her parents nodded.
"yes, it's fine sofia," her dad said. "please move on."
"indeed, it's okay," her mom said. "it's really okay."
after hearing these encouraging words, sofia was moved.
"mom... i love you; i'll never forgive you!"
sofia hugged her mother again, as she cried one last time.
"i love you too."
"we love you, and we'll always do."
her parents suddenly turned into light.
the darkness and nightmares that composed them.
they were purified...
i never thought this could ever happen.
but somehow, sofia's own presence, her own words, were transforming nightmares.
was this ever documented before? has any person been able to do this?
to help nightmares turn into... light? just what does this means?
as they dissipated, her parents gave one last farewell.
"take care, sofia... and please, appreciate the friends you have..."
"they are... your greatest treasure."
"it's fine!" alma smiled, hugging sofia. "i know you've gone through a lot... i just hope we can continue being friends... you and emily, and maria... you're the only friends i've had in my entire life... so i really love you and appreciate you a lot... grandma always said to not let go of
great friends after all!"
she's too pure for this world.
"damn it... you're so nice alma, i don't deserve you..." sofia hugged alma tightly. "a-and
you're really cute too... i always wanted to tell you that! you're really cute... so don't ever believe you're ugly, or overweight..."
"s-sofia..." alma smiled, blushing. "thank you, you're really cute too, i want to hold you like
a baby in that form!"
"h-hey, don't hold me!" sofia panicked as she was grabbed like a baby.
"hahah! well, now... it's nice to see you back sof," said emily, crossing her arms. "i hope you don't hold more grudges against us..."
"i'm sorry... i won't do that again," sofia sighed. "emily, you're... your energy every morning was always nice. it lifted my mood when i felt so terrible sometimes. thank you for always
being our sunshine."
"oh? aren't you saying a lot of flattering stuff, hehe!" emily smiled. "well, thanks! i like cheering up people! i dislike gloomy people that won't talk or be all sad. life's short so we
gotta live it well, right?"
"hahah... you're right," sofia nodded. "life is... short."
she looked at her own hands, panicking.
"i don't want to die..."
after never caring if she died or not, this time, sofia realized something.
she liked her life, and her friends.
and she didn't want to die.
"we have to get out of here quickly, somehow...! maria, can you lead us outside?"
"i can! let's go!"
rumble!
suddenly, as i grabbed sofia and let her piggyback me, the ground trembled even more, as
this entire illusion realm started breaking apart.
and then...
ba dum!
ba dum!
the loud sound of a heartbeat echoed across the entire world.
