✦ Article 20 — Into the Dark. Into the Underworld. Into Hell. (Part 4)

When I got home,
the first thing I did was google “underworld.”

Different websites said completely different things,
but when I looked at the image search results, I thought—

Wait… isn’t this just hell?

Some sites described it as hell,
while others said it was a bright place where people stay peacefully
until they pass on.

Either way…

it sounded scary.

But Taro told me I shouldn’t be afraid.


That night,
I got into bed feeling extremely tense.

For some reason,
I even chose to sleep in a sweatshirt and sweatpants
so I could move easily.


And then—

the next morning,
I woke up as if nothing had happened.


Did I go to the underworld?
Did I find Taro?

I had absolutely no idea.

Seeing hell—
and coming back with the memory of it—
that’s a story for a little later.
