The memory of this scene made him happy.
But also thoughtful.
What his father had told him back then was true.
One should not judge others by their actions.
These words he had almost forgotten.
But how was he supposed to apply them in his current situation?
Although he didn’t know the reason why his homeland was attacked, the attackers were dead.
He could no longer ask them for the reason.
Likewise, everyone else in the Kasakan army saw him as an enemy and wanted to see him either in prison or dead.
And even if he did find the reason…
Would he be able to forgive?

“No! I don’t think so!” he thought.
He knew that in his heart he would never find forgiveness for them.
…
But maybe not every one of them was responsible!
They were only following orders.
And perhaps they didn’t even know the background.
The ordinary soldiers were almost innocent in his eyes.
But those who gave the orders…
For them, there would only be death!
No matter what reason they had.
His family needed a scapegoat!
Someone who would feel this anger!
But from now on, no one should die senselessly!
He was glad that he had gained this insight.
Now he felt better.
The surroundings blurred again.
Was he waking up now?
…
No!
Slowly, a dark, destroyed environment formed around him.
It seemed unfamiliar to him.
Slowly, it brightened.
He stood in the middle of a war-torn city.
All around him, he could see blood and corpses.
But nothing he saw seemed familiar.
A loud rumble caught his attention.
He noticed that the city was surrounded by a series of volcanoes, all erupting simultaneously.
“What happened here?” he wondered.
In the distance, he could just barely make out a huge building, which shortly thereafter collapsed in parts.
“This is the future if you stay on your path of revenge!” he heard a voice in his head.
Shortly afterward, everything went black before his eyes, and he slowly began to wake up.
Unaware that he would forget this last part of his dream again.
