After watching the Miyano couple completely disappear, he was momentarily stunned. When he came to his senses, he saw the pure white space around him gradually and frantically moving backward.
The space he was in was entirely white, so pure that there was no blemish in it. There was nothing that could help him determine his direction, but his first impression was that the entire space was moving backwards at an alarming rate.
"This space seems to be getting smaller."
Guangyou didn't know why he had this feeling, but that was his true feeling at that moment.
This feeling was truly strange, but at the same time it made him feel a pang of anxiety. He was powerless to do anything about what was happening and could only watch from the sidelines.
"It feels like I'm dreaming."
Guangyou suddenly realized his situation, so he immediately relaxed and sat down on the ground to look around.
"A person can easily go insane if they stay in this kind of environment for too long."
He now even had the mind to make fun of this space he had imagined. He had experienced many similar places, so he was naturally not afraid of experiencing those symptoms.
"When will this end?"
As time passed, Guangyou felt more clearly that the space was rapidly shrinking around him.
"It seems like it's about to end."
Guangyou silently complained about how boring this space was, but he found that he seemed to have some new feelings about it.
He found himself somewhat reluctant to part with it.
Here, he imagined a grand scene of a son-in-law meeting his parents. His previous values made him think it was just a dream, but his own experience told him that it might not be impossible.
Regardless of what had just happened, he was genuinely reluctant to leave. It wasn't so much about the space itself, but rather a sense of regret for what had transpired within it.
He didn't know if he would remember what happened here after he woke up, and even if he did, he didn't know how much he would remember, so he felt a little reluctant to leave.
The space was not boundless; while Guangyou was lost in thought, the space had shrunk to just the bottom, which could only accommodate him alone.
In the last moment before his consciousness disappeared in the dream space, Guangyou also realized that continuing to think about these things was useless, so he might as well let go. At this moment, a sentence suddenly appeared in his mind.
"A dream of fleeting glory must eventually end; I dream neither of the past nor of the present..."
...
Ai looked at Kouyu, who was already asleep, pursed her lips, and after mentally preparing herself, reached out and held Kouyu's shoulder. At the same time, she gently pulled him towards her so that Kouyu could lie on her lap.
Fortunately, it was Ai Haibara. If it were a stranger, let alone touching him, it would be difficult to even get close to him, unless he was under anesthesia and couldn't wake up. Otherwise, he would have used a three-step self-defense technique.
Kōyū had no guard up against Ai, and all his alarm systems were temporarily shut down, which was one of the reasons why he was able to sleep so soundly.
She was very careful, moving gently and slowly, afraid of waking Guangyou from his sleep. If she did wake him up, even she wouldn't know how to face him.
When Ai confirmed that Kousuke hadn't woken up because of her movements, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She realized that she seemed to have come to enjoy watching Kwang-woo fall asleep, a thought that would have been absolutely impossible before.
At that time, she probably couldn't help but scoff and say, "Who would want to watch someone sleep? It's incredibly boring."
Thinking back to how she might have reacted back then, Ai couldn't help but shake her head, chuckle, and comfort herself, "People always change. I'm not the same person I was before."
At this moment, she noticed a change in Guangyou's expression, as if he had seen something surprising, which aroused her curiosity.
What did he dream about?
At this point, she discovered that watching the changes in Kōyū's facial expressions while he slept was also quite entertaining. By observing his expressions, Ai could guess what Kōyū was dreaming about.
Ai Haibara was like a child who had discovered a new toy; her facial expression was unreadable, but her mind was racing, filling in all the possibilities.
"Could it be that they saw me?"
It has to be said that every girl, when she falls in love, hopes that her partner will dream about her even in their dreams. Even Ai Haibara is no exception; she just hides this very well.
But after wild speculation, rational thinking followed. Ai calmed down and thought about it carefully. She felt something was wrong and muttered to herself, "If it were me, I wouldn't be surprised, I would be delighted."
"He must have seen someone he didn't expect, and this person was definitely not someone he knew well."
Ai quickly ruled out several names in her mind, but after that, she was completely stumped. "If I rule out the Mori family he's staying with, if I rule out myself, if I rule out the professor, and those children can't be it either, could it be..."
"Is it some girl he knew before?"
Ai looked down and checked Kousuke's expression again. After confirming that she didn't see the kind of infatuated look one would give a girl, she came back to her senses and continued to imagine, "No, that's not right either. Otherwise, there should be some other expression besides joy."
"Am I jealous of a girl who doesn't even exist in his dreams?"
Ai was also surprised when she discovered this, as she had never experienced this feeling before and had no prior experience with romance.
What exactly did you dream about?
She looked down at Guangyou, her tone full of curiosity, "Let's ask you when you wake up. Now you can get some sleep. You had a hard day yesterday."
