A week has passed.
Fukuda calls Ren with the news that he won't be able to come to the hospital because of his mother's birthday.
Ren calms Fukuda down and claims that his mother won't be home until late and that he will come anyway.
''How do you know that my mother...? whatever, i won't be able to come, Ren. Sorry, but i'll come over tomorrow.''
*Fukuda hangs up*
A few hours pass when Ren's hospital door opens and Fukuda shows up.
Ren, leaned back on the frame of the window and smiled.
''I thought you weren't coming, I'm glad you did though.''
''Um... No problem but, I didn't plan to come here, I just felt that it was necessary for some reason..?''
''Well, you'll know in a bit... I think I know what's been happening to me, Fukuda. Something is wrong, I've got my hands on something i've never imagined I'd have. On something I've never even thought about.''
...
''Every night, every dream I've had... Void, darkness, infinite nothingness but a voice, or even voices... I don't even know myself. I'll probably go crazy soon. Even when I was unconscious... I COULD HEAR. I could hear your thoughts, I could hear my surroundings, but not just any surroundings... I could hear what people around me were THINKING. I felt as if i could control them with... A Single Thought...''
...
Ren looked at Fukuda after spitting those words out one by one with a piercing glare, when suddenly...
''Oh my god, Ren... I... I... can't stop... ah, ah, PHAHAHAHHAAHAHHAHAHAhahahahha... I can't stop laughing.. ahaahahaaah... aAAH, Ren you may be the smartest dude I've ever met but gosh you've got one hell of an imagination''
A loud smash could suddenly be heared.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
Fukuda suddenly sat down abnormally fast on the ground, his tears of laughter and his big smile suddenly dissapeared and the only thing he payed attention to was Ren's glare.
''Ren... was that you?''
''Exactly... Now listen carefuly and don't panic.''
''I wasn't joking about anything I said, this is an important matter... I can just imagine all the things that I can do with this ''power'' I've got... Like recieve anything i want...Or even...-''
''Please, stop, you're freaking me out...''
''Hm?''
''You had an awfully distrubing smile while saying all that, Ren... Calm down... Please.''
''Oh, sorry I just, got dragged into it, the reason I called you was because I wanted to test it.''
''Test... called me... Wait did you make me come here?''
''Yes, don't worry, you won't miss your mother's birthday as well.''
''Oh, okay but what can we test on?''
While both of them thinking, suddenly the nurse comes in and notifies that the visitor's hours have come to an end.
Fukuda and Ren simultaneously look at each other with a serious look... Ren's test subject had been found.
Ren glares at the nurse with a piercing look.
''Actually, you can stay here as much as you want... I just remembered I had something to do. Would you like something?''
The nurse looked as if she was under a spell.
Fukuda nervously looked at Ren and back at the nurse:
''Um... Sure, I'd like some tea?..''
The nurse starts running and comes back with two cups of tea for Ren and Fukuda and then leaves the room as if nothing happened, with a smile.
''Ren, that was amazing, you're actually not lying... What is that...? You need to be cautious with that ''power'', which made me think... What did you mean when you said that you've done something horrible last week...?''
Ren nervously looked at Fukuda, clenched his fist, sat down and smiled...
*Flashback of his teacher*
''Nothing important... Lets sit down and enjoy the tea...
...I made.''
