Poke, poke poke, poke.
Something poked Ria in the cheek. Opening her eyes to the soft and smooth touch, a pair of round eyes welcomed her with a gentle smile.
“You finally woke up!”
What’s that? A cotton ball…? I was speechless at the sight of the palm-sized cotton ball before me.
A being, that was neither a human nor a beast or a monster, jumped and shook its body.
I was surprised by the cotton ball with its happily shaking body that looked, as if it was about to shout from sheer excitement alone.
“You, are you Teevee?”
“Oh, you remember!”
Teevee then approached with a big smile.
“I’ve been waiting for you for so long, why you have come now?”
“Me, me?”
The cotton ball seemed to know me well and showed a friendly attitude.
What’s going on? It even called me by my name earlier, has it been watching me?
“Teevee. Do you know me?”
“Of course.”
“How?”
“I don’t know the intent of your question. I can’t possibly not know you.”
“So why…?”
“Because you’re you.”
Yeah, right. I think the answer to this question is hard to hear.
Ria quickly gave up the conversation that kept going against her and instead curiously touched Teevee’s body.
“But, what is this body? And where are we?”
“Ah, this is my alter ego. It’s easy to move around with. And we are currently inside me.”
Ria slowly looked around the green meadow.
It means I am inside the old tree.
