My Neighbor's Girl, Episode 16: A Terrifying Reunion in the Abyss

As the world descended into chaos, I found myself floating in the center of a vast ocean composed of countless corpses and black blood. This is the end of all fear, the core of Room 404's true form. In this dimension, there is no time, no space, only eternal resentment. However, in this deathly silent black sea, a faint, warm white light suddenly appeared not far ahead. That light seemed utterly discordant amidst the endless resentment. I propelled my massive shadow-like body towards it. When I saw clearly what that light was enveloping, my heart, which had long gone cold and stopped beating, gave a violent twitch. It was an old wooden crib. Inside lay a newborn infant, a striking red lucky string tied to its right wrist. It was the newborn me, clean, pure, untainted by even a shred of fear or resentment. "You've finally come here." A gentle yet incredibly ethereal female voice emanated from beside the crib. A woman in white, radiating a faint glow all over, slowly appeared. She had no face, but her hands were tenderly stroking the infant. When she turned her head towards my deformed shell made of myriad vengeful spirits, the countless spirits within me simultaneously let out terrified screams.
