I ran.

  I ran and ran.

  I ran and ran and ran.

  I ran and ran and ran and ran.

  I ran and ran and ran and ran and ran

  All I did was run.

  That's all that occupied my mind.

  Running.

  I didn't even realize that I was not getting tired by continually running around at full speed.

  I ran.

  Eventually I looked behind my shoulder and saw that the text wasn't close enough to get me. I sighed a breath of relief and slowed down a little bit. Now that I wasn't running from the surprisingly terrifying glowy letter things, (looking back I think they were runes or something of the sort) I started asking many questions.

  1 where am I?

  2 why am I not tired?

  3 how long until I wake up?

  ....thanks, uhh, how do I say that? but.. why did you skip some of my questions?

  [??????????, ????????!?? ???????????? ?????????? ???????????? ?????? ???? ???????? ?????????????????? ?????? ???? ???▆????, ?????? ???? ?????? ?????? ?????$°??????? ????!]

  Mhmm. Now what?

  [??????????? ?????????????? ?????? ?????????? ???????? ???? ???????????????? ???? ??????????????!]

  Argh!! I do!!

  Stop it I'm not going to kill her! That's just wrong!

  [?????????? ?????? ???????? ???? ???? ?????????? ???? ?????????????? ???????????????????????????]

  What does that do?

  [?????? ???????? ?????? ?????????????????????? ???????? ?????? ???????? ?????? ???????? ?????? ???????? ?????????? ???? ?????? ???? ?????? ????????????]

  ...What?

  [?????????? ????????!]

  Okay.. anyway, by die permanently, does that mean all the rebirths get nullified?

  I hear various staticky sounds and the system doesn't respond. Now what?

  I realize the runes are still there. I walk towards it carefully. It flickers invisible a couple times, which scared me more than I would like to admit (which I'm admitting right now..?)

  I don't know why I went towards what I just spent who-knows-how-long running away from, but I cautiously approached it.

  Just staring at it creeped me out.. eugh..

  ???????? ?? ?????????????????? ????????? ???? ???????????????? ???? ????????????

  I back off again and try asking the system voice thing if I control the mind space, because if I can then I can restrain the thingy.

  [???, ????????! ?????? ???????? ???????? ???????? ?????????????? ???????? ???????? ???◎?◎.]

  Aw darn it! Well, I think I don't know what to do.. hm.. argh, I guess I'm going to avoid it, I pad my soft little paws away clumsily and begin going in circles again.

  Wait what!? I look at my hands again and they're normal..? But they.. huh.? Now I'm really confused.
