Chapter 4 - Welcome Back Red's

"Red?" Shin's voice was barely above a whisper. 

Red's smile was radiant. "I'm back", she said. "Thanks you shin".

But as Shin smiled, she felt a strange sensation. Morpheus words echoed in her mind "The price is not always paid in full. Sometimes, it is paid in installments".

As red's memories returned, Shin felt a sense of relief wash over her. But it was a short-lived, Morpheus words echoed in her mind, and she felt a creeping sense of dread. Suddenly, the shadow realm began to distort and writhe, like a living thing. The air grew thick with an ominous energy, and Shin felt herself being pulled towards to Morpheus. 

"You have paid the price," Morpheus's voice boomed, echoing of the walls of the realm. "But the cost is not fully paid yet, You will pay it the remainder in dreams".

Shin's eyes widened in horror as Morpheus words hung in the air. She felt a sense of desperation rising within her.

"What does it mean?" Violet demanded, her voice firm. 

Morpheus gaze locked on to shin, his eyes burning with an otherworldly intensity. "You will dream of the darkness that lies within you. You will confront the shadow that you have tried to keep hidden". As Morpheus words faded, the shadow realm began to dissolve, leaving shin standing at the corner of Babylon with Violet, Yuki and Red. But he knew that the nightmare was far from over. 

The darkness within her was stirring and he could fell it clawing its way to the surface. Shin's heart pounded in her chest as she realized in her chest as she realized that he was no longer in control.

Violet's eyes locked onto her, filled with concern. "Shin, what's wrong?". But Shin couldn't respond. The darkness was rising, and she felt herself being pulled into its depths. He was trapped in the living nightmare, and he didn't know if he ever find her way out.
