Arman was driving his truck, most things were same as usual except for the fact that today he had to go to a different region to deliver some food to a village there, it was in a pretty remote place and Arman had to leave for that place at 5am so that the veggies would stay fresh, along the drive Arman started some small talk with his partner who was as usual with him to help.
“Man this fog is annoying, you can sleep if you want, I’ll wake you up when you are needed” said Arman
“Hmm, sure, just don’t get any weird ideas” She said
Her name is Amane and she’s currently 18, after losing her parents at age 14, she was taken in by Arman and has been working with him for almost two years now , she is also his niece but to Arman she’s like a daughter
“What do you mean by that?, I ain’t gonna do anything to a brat like you” Asked Arman
“I’m not a brat you old geezer” shouted Amane
“What! I’m not that old, you brat” He said even though he was already 40
“Sure, says the single old ancient geezer, geez why do I have to work with you,” she replied
“Ancient!?, That’s Just going too far and me being single is non of your business oh and you need to work to earn money” Arman protested
“ugh fine whatever, just look at the road it’s pretty broken and drive carefully, otherwise you’re gonna give me a headache” Amane said
“Fine!” Arman replied
An hour later passed by, but reaching the village was still going to take another hour
“Muh” moaned Amane while sleeping
She makes some weird noises when she’s asleep, just what is she dreaming, I wonder? Arman pondered but just then the fog got even thicker which was a little unusual but Arman kept on driving thinking that it would thin down in a little while and just as he thought this, Arman saw a dark silhouette Resembling a man, the silhouette kept getting darker and more prominent until Arman was sure that there was indeed someone there, and turned the truck to avoid the silhouette, he barely managed avoid hitting him, but then he saw another silhouette Resembling a young woman and just as the truck got close to her he clearly saw a young girl and tried to avoid her too.

“Aaaaah! Get out of the way boy” shouted Amane as she had been woken up by all the shaking of the truck
“Ugh” Arman grunted as he tried to steer the truck away and succeed in doing so aswell but the truck crashed into a nearby boulder.
“GHAAAAA, IT HURTS SO DAMN BAD” shouted Arman, his torso was crushed and his head was bleeding profusely, he was shaking and feeling cold, as he looked around he found Amane splattered across the boulder that his truck hit only her upper body was intact, and tears were flowing from her eyes as she tried to speak but could not even make a sound and stoped moving altogether shortly after.
Upon seeing this Arman was horrified, filled with despair and couldn’t stop crying and screaming “Why did this happen, Is this the end, why did Amane had to go too” he screamed now feeling anger aswell.
His pain and suffering along with his shaking and the cold feeling only intensified until it all subsided and he only felt cold and hollow inside and his eyes felt heavy, just then he heard a voice say “She will do, but what about him, should we take him aswell” “Maybe or maybe not” another voice said and just then Arman stopped moving aswell and drifted into nothingness but after a little while he was embraced with warmth, he opened his eyes and a saw a garden with a golden silhouette so hazy that he could barely make it out in it, the silhouette spoke something but he couldn’t understand it, but the silhouette kept speaking and once it was finished Arman’s surroundings changed once more and he opened his heavy eyelids once more and saw a red membrane and realized that he was submerged in some liquid surrounded by some kind of membrane, upon realizing this he immediately started squirming around, ripping the membrane open and getting out of it.
