He started worrying if he might have inhaled too much and couldn''t wake up properly. What if he ended up brain-dead in the real world?


    Realizing this, Odie couldn''t be bothered to freshen up. He dashed out of the dormitory, desperate to find a way to escape this dream as quickly as possible. Jump off a building? sh his wrists? Something drastic?


    Surely, a shock like that in a dream would wake him up.


    With that thought, Odie sprinted towards the tallest building on the Eastwood College campus.


    As he raced up the stairs, people in the building looked at him with puzzled expressions.


    "Sophie, isn''t that the guy who was staring at you yesterday? What''s he doing heading to the seventh floor? There''s nothing there," one student remarked.


    The seventh floor of the main teaching building was abandoned, and no one ever went up there.


    "Do you think he''s mentally unstable? He looks like he might be trying to jump," another student spected.


    Sophie, hearing this, immediately ran up the stairs.


    The seventh floor was deserted.


    Above was the rooftop.


    The iron door to the rooftop was locked, but that didn''t stop Odie. He kicked the door open and was met with a gust of wind as he stepped onto the rooftop.


    Odie walked to the edge, unfazed by

    enough to jar him awake from the dream.


    "Hey! Whatever''s going on, let''s talk it over! Don''t do anything rash!" Sophie''s voice called from behind.


    Odie looked at Sophie running towards him, thinking if it were the Sophie he knew, she''d probably kick him in the back and say, "Stop showing off!"


    He chuckled at the thought, findingfort in the memory of her spirited nature.
