Chapter 3 - A way to go back

"Listen kid the world as you know is much more complex and intricate than you know and I am one of some people that watch over than things stay balanced"

Murasaki begins to explain the situation to the young man in front of him with a neutral tone and a calm features 

"This corridor in which we are sitting right is a pathway that connects to different universes and these doors are what leads us there and these door's are called Drifts "

Murasaki explain to the young man which left him speechless 

"What do you mean different universes do you mean as in a Multiverse" The young man enquired 

"Correct but not quite so" Murasaki said 

"You see these Drifts are actual physical manifestations of consciousness from your world that has began to take life"

Murasaki explained to the boy 

"What do you mean by physical manifestations of consciousness" they young man asked in a confusing tone.

To which Murasaki begin to explain

"Thing is its is quite complicated to explain and even if I do so I don't think you would be able to understand"

"But in easy way I can say that these doors lead to the world of every book , poem , moves , play , cartoon , novel and even anime and manga that were created due to the imagination and consciousness of human beings of your world" 

Murasaki explained to the boy and sigh 

Listening to Murasaki the young man felt flabbergasted and asked 

"You expect me to believe it" he asked in a skeptical tone 

"Kid everything that happen to you till now isn't believable either now is it"

This silenced the young man but listening to his words the felt a flicker of hope as he might finally be able to go back from where he came from and with somewhat of a optimistic tone he asked 

"So as you said that these are connected pathways to different worlds right can you tell me which door leads to my original world"

Listening to this Murasaki with a somber expression said 

"Sorry kid but there is no door hear that leads back to your world"

Listening to this the young man asked with a hesitant tone 

"But you said that these door are connected to different worlds as they are suppose to represent the consciousness so shouldn't there be a door that leads towards the same consciousness"

The young man quick tone not wanting to believe in what Murasaki was telling he, after so long he felt he could go back home at this point the young man was going insane he just wanted to forget all about this as if it was a bad dream and return to the life he had before all that void incident however miserable it was he would embrace that live but he didn't want to be remind of these incidents anymore.

Murasaki starts to explain

"Listen here kid these doors only represent the concept of consciousness they aren't consciousness itself , hell no one knows what is. " 

"The best I can do for is send you to one of these doors so that you can live your life the way you want with some gifts along the way." he ended with a relaxed tone.

Hearing to this the young man couldn't believe his ears as to what he was listening so in a calm but resolute tone he asked 

"Are you fucking kidding me you fucker" the young man said in a calm voice but rage filled eyes

"I lost my life due to unjust means , I lost even myself in that never ending darkness and you are telling me that the best you can do for me IS SEND ME TO SOME GODDAMN FAKE STORY WORD TO LIVE MY FUCKING LIFE IN " the young man shouted in barely restored anger not caring what Murasaki would do to him cuz at that point he just wanted to be out of all this shitshow even if it kills whatever is remain of his sole.

"Calm down kid" was all Murasaki said in his usual tone not showing any emotion.

" How can I calm down, you are telling me that I can not go back to my home but 'Hey I can send you to some random story book or movie or whatever so you can live a normal life' TO HELL WITH YOU WHAT ABOUT MY FAMILY HAH WHAT ABOU.....

"Do you even remember you family no scratch that do you even remember your own name"

As the young man was continuing Murasaki suddenly asked him this simple yet hardest question

"What do you mean I obviously do I am ? "

The young man came to a halt now that he think about it who even was he, he seriously tried to remember but he couldn't even remember his own name.

Did he even have a family, He definitely did this wasn't something the was about to debate on even if he don't remember their faces , there name or even their love, this feeling of belonging somewhere was telling him that he had a family that loved him.

Tears began to fall from his eyes that were covered behind his long black hairs 

He was thinking why didn't he just die and why did that endless Abyss took so much yet so little from him

Murasaki didn't stop the boy from crying he thought that the young man should let it all out right and he just stared at the young man without saying anything.

30 min later:

The young man had calmed down now and he was looking down at the floor with with emotionless eyes and Murasaki was just observing him without saying anything.

Thinking enough was enough he asked Murasaki

"Can you tell me why did it have to be me"

Murasaki takes a deep breath and said 

"Aside from bad luck I cannot say anything kid"

The answer didn't affect the Young man at this point he just sigh and asked

"Is there really no way for me to go back home" he asked to tired eyes

Hearing the almost dead voice the young man Murasaki replied 

" Hmm the answer is I don't really no kid but what I do know is that here is no door that would lead you back to your world but slim as it is there might be a way for you to go back "

 Listening to this the young man had a flicked of hope and doubt in his eyes but with a resolution in his eyes the boy asked him

"Tell me "
