Chapter 56: Chapter 56 – Successful Session
When Nick saw Jenny fall asleep, he nodded with pride.
'That went quite smoothly,' he thought.
For the next 30 minutes, Nick waited in the Containment Unit to make sure that nothing was happening.
Nothing happened.
"I will be back in a bit," Nick told the Dreamer as he left the Containment Unit.
Naturally, the Dreamer didn't answer.
"How did it go?" Wyntor asked, standing in front of the exit of the Containment Unit.
"Perfect," Nick said with a grin. "She was obviously scared, but she didn't run away and voluntarily sat down to sleep."
Wyntor also smiled. "You found a good one this time, Nick."
Nick nodded. "Yep! If everything works out, she will take the shift after mine, which should be from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. I will arrive at 6 a.m. now every morning since I'm not the only one working with the Dreamer anymore."
"Sounds great," Wyntor said. "Now, we only need one more person."
Nick sighed. "I'm not looking forward to more of these interviews, but that's why I'm getting paid more."
Wyntor chuckled a bit. "That's how it works, yes."
"Is Pator back?" Nick asked.
"He's outside," Wyntor said.
Nick nodded and walked out of the door.
Nick quickly found Pator and talked to him a bit before going back to the hotel.
After entering Horua's room, a bitter smile appeared on Nick's face, and he sat on the bed beside Horua.
As always during the day, Horua sat on his bed, just looking into empty space without doing anything.
"Hey, Horua. You remember the new employee I told you about this morning?"
Nick talked to Horua for a while, telling him everything about his day.
After that, Nick got Horua some soup and some water.
"I'll be right back. I also have to check up on Jenny," Nick said before going back to the warehouse.
Nick entered the Containment Unit and saw that nothing had changed.
For the next eight hours, Nick went back and forth between the warehouse and Horua's room.
Finally, the eight hours were up, and it was time for Nick to wake up Jenny.
"Hey, eight hours are over," Nick said to the Dreamer, still standing over Jenny.
The Dreamer had been focused on Jenny's closed eyes, but a moment later, its head slowly moved back.
It slowly turned to look at Nick before going back to its corner.
Nick just nodded before walking up to Jenny.
After gently nudging her for a while, Jenny slowly opened her eyes.
But then, her eyes suddenly shot open, and she immediately pulled her arms up like she was trying to protect herself from an attacker.
"Wow, wow, calm down, Jenny!" Nick shouted.
Jenny froze. "Nick?" she asked in confusion.
Then, she slowly lowered her arms and looked around.
"Oh, right!" she shouted before her eyes fixed on the Dreamer.
She still felt scared looking at it, but it was not as bad as before.
"Is it over?" Jenny asked.
"Yep," Nick answered. "Eight hours are up. You successfully finished your first session with a Specter! Congratulations!"
Jenny almost couldn't believe it.
