The hot coffee had been bought from a roadside vending machine... Teacher Sunny handed the canned coffee to Teacher Lilith, hoping it would help the woman feel a little better.
"Teacher Lilith, what happened earlier? Why did you suddenly..." Teacher Sunny frowned. "You came over without waiting for me? Did you run into something bad?"
The woman held the warm coffee can in her hands and slowly turned her head. Looking at the enormous head of the Teru Teru Bozu before her, she suddenly asked, "Teacher Sunny, do you often dream?"
"Dream?" Teacher Sunny asked in astonishment. "What kind of dreams?"
"Dreams of another version of yourself, or several versions... Dreams of another life, or several different lives... Even another world, or several worlds, unlike the one you're in now." She stared into the Teru Teru Bozu's eyes with unusual seriousness.
"I don't remember." Teacher Sunny shook its head. "We rarely remember our dreams in the first place... Perhaps I have had dreams like that before, but I completely forgot them after waking up."
She nodded thoughtfully... At the very least, this meant that Teacher Sunny was different from Luo Ya's brother. It was still a character belonging to this unfinished Page World.
"Teacher Lilith, if you really encounter any danger, remember to tell me." Teacher Sunny became solemn. "We can call the police. We can't let lawbreakers run free... Luo Ya's brother looks strange to me. That man is extremely dangerous!"
"Thank you for your concern. I only..." Teacher Lilith shook her head. "I merely stepped on a cockroach by accident... I have some particularly bad memories involving cockroaches, so I lost my composure like that. It had nothing to do with the home visit... I still haven't met Luo Ya's guardian."
"So that's what happened." Teacher Sunny nodded...
