Despite her attempts to think logically, Ivonne was overwhelmed by the terrifying riddle that appeared in front of her. Her head was so full of confusion it felt like it might burst. She wished for someone—anyone—to come and solve the swirling, unanswered questions in her mind.
And then, at that very moment…
“Ivonne!”
The window, reinforced with crossbars, shattered with a deafening crash. The one who broke through the window was someone Ivonne could never fail to recognize.
“Se… Senior Isaac?”
Like a prince from a fairy tale, Isaac had come to rescue Ivonne, breaking through the window of the tower where she was trapped.
“Are you okay? Are you hurt?”
Ivonne had no idea when he’d arrived, but Isaac, after rolling a few times on the glass-strewn floor, rushed straight to her. Fortunately, Isaac had only small scratches on his hands and cheeks, no serious injuries.
“Oh, yes. I’m fine… just a little on my wrist…”
Ivonne answered, dazed, as she showed her wrist, which bore a bruise, almost as if it had been tightly bound with handcuffs. In the midst of the sudden turn of events, she wasn’t the only one who seemed disoriented. Isaac seemed equally stunned.
“Anything else? Did they hurt you anywhere else?”
Isaac’s dark green eyes narrowed, as if assuming the worst, and he urgently asked. Ivonne quickly waved her hand in refusal.
“No, it’s not like that.”
“That’s a relief.”
Isaac sighed in relief. He continued speaking, but Ivonne’s mind was elsewhere. She was so disoriented by the situation, she almost wondered if she were dreaming or hallucinating. But the reality of Isaac standing there, right in front of her, felt too vivid to be a mere illusion.
Still staring at him, she couldn’t help but ask, almost as if in a daze,
“But… why are you here, Senior Isaac?”
But once she voiced the question, Ivonne wasn’t sure how to follow it up.
“Weren’t you in that….prison…?”
She was stumbling over her words, unlike her usual self, when Isaac smiled as though he was hearing an amusing story. The glass shards on his broad shoulders sparkled as they reflected the moonlight.
At that moment, however, something about his smile felt unsettling, and without realizing it, Ivonne stiffened. It felt like an alarm was going off in her head and throughout her body.
In contrast to Ivonne’s tension, Isaac smiled, but the voice that came from his smiling lips was cold and unsettling.
“I thought you saw it.”
“…What?”
The low, chilling voice made Ivonne’s lips tremble. Cold sweat instantly soaked her palms. A strong sense of foreboding washed over her.
Ivonne tried to distract herself, but Isaac’s finger pointing to the diary on the desk stopped her in her tracks. She instinctively followed his finger and quickly turned back to look at him, as a fleeting thought rushed through her mind—never turn your back on a predator.
But it was already too late.
“Ugh.”
The predator had already pounced.
Ivonne turned to Isaac in panic, and as she gasped for breath, she regretted not just focusing on the diary on the desk. If she had kept her attention there, perhaps she could have avoided learning this horrifying truth altogether.
Her green eyes, which shone brightly in the moonlight that snuck in through the broken window, shook uncontrollably as they met Isaac’s changed face. The warm, easy smile he usually wore was now twisted, almost grotesque.
“How much have you read?”
The words seemed to vibrate through the air, but Ivonne couldn’t hear anything. She was frozen, unable to exhale after taking a sharp breath just moments ago.
“Hmm?”
His gentle voice had turned cold, almost menacing. It was a threat, and yet, Ivonne couldn’t look away from his face. She was too dazed, too lost in the haze of memories from her previous life.
It all felt like a distant dream now.
Before her reincarnation, “she” had always been alone. There were no other family members. Despite that, “she” had a decent school life, supported by a sponsor.
This sponsor, with the foreign name “Izak,” never wrote a letter to the girl he sponsored but seemed to care in his own way. He fulfilled all his responsibilities until she became an adult. And as soon as she reached adulthood and passed her university entrance exams, he cut all contact.
After that, life became a series of tough part-time jobs. But through all the hard work, “she” was still able to find happiness—because for the first time, she had a boyfriend.
The man was devoted to her, despite her lack of family and friends, and his deep brown eyes were undeniably captivating.
Though in the end, he threw a brick at her, the copper colored eye that “she” loved so much was filled with the same joyful expression and filled her vision with red light.
That was supposed to be the end.
