M-Merry.

Oh no, she woke up...

I'M GOING HOME!!

MERRY!?

Wh- What the hell? Abandoning someone who just fell and got injured!?

But what exactly was that dream(?) I just had?

Could it be the same dream‑world Merry told me about before? From that accidental groin‑impact and the resulting dazed confusion... I might have, purely by chance, derived a special solution to the equation that leads to another world.
