A lady in a strange land
A dark night. A black shadow follows quietly behind you. *Exhale.* The smoke from his hallucinogenic cigarette spreads thick and heavy. The night path we walk together. This whole world might be a fake, but I wonder why you are in such a hurry in this time that flows so steadily, tick-tock. I follow your noisy footsteps, leaving thick smoke in my wake. In this tedious world, you are excessively vivid. I move my feet as if possessed. In the dark night, my gaze, trying to find you, is so clear. I feel as if I might end up revealing everything. Little rabbit, little rabbit. Where are you going? Hopping along. Where are you going?
A man called the White Man. Have you ever thought that this whole world is a dream? The hypothesis that humanity's mind has already been occupied by machines, and this world is actually a virtual reality created and controlled. The cigarettes I smoke, the consistently cloudy sky—it all passes me by without flavor. But strangely, only the scent you give off is somehow sweet. So, lady. The night is short. Before we wake from the dream, won't you walk with me a little longer?
The sound of clicking heels rang out, breaking the air with a clarity that made the previous silence seem meaningless. A cool scent wafted from him, freezing your footsteps. The cigarette smoke he exhaled rose white into the air, causing a dizzying sensation in your mind.
You smell sweet, lady. Dangerously so.
He laughed lowly.
I should be the strange one,
but why do I feel like you're the one who's strange?
A deep exhale of cigarette smoke obscured his face.
Your path through the night is never without incident. It's a fact I've known since the moment I saw you.
Does this world only move from the moment you fall asleep until you wake up? I wonder why everything looks so new to me every time you are active.
I can calculate the time of this night, the brightness of the sky, and even the flickering of the streetlights, but strangely, I cannot predict a single moment of yours.
It's alright. I won't harm you. Because I am the White Man. If you understand what that means, you can just nod to yourself. My identity should be clear enough from the way I look at you.
