After entering the newly unlocked private room, Sam showered and went to sleep, only to experience a vivid nightmare on the Beach featuring Lou, black tar, and a giant Amelie. Upon waking, Fragile connected via hologram to reassure Sam that Lou was safe before leaving him alone again.
After confirming the chiral network connection, this man in the hologram came back, but with a clear view this time. And he said they have prepared a private room for Sam's exclusive use, as Sam must be exhausted after his long journey.
As Sam should rest until he is fully recovered, as there are countless dangers in this part, I let him get to the private room right away and he set foot on the automated elevator floor.
After getting to the private room, Sam put his cargo rack and suit on the wall hanger, and then he sat on the bed and was waiting for my command, while he rested his hands on his thighs like a man with a peaceful mind.
Yeah, I let him use the toilet and shower right away, because I knew he needed a hot shower after what he has been through. The streaming water washed away the thick layers of chiral dust and grime from his skin.
After coming back from the shower, I let him use the bed to take a nap. But like before, he still can't sleep peacefully as he woke inside a dream. His consciousness still slips back to the familiar, unsettling landscape of the other side.
Sam found Lou, and he was so glad to have the baby that he started hugging Lou as well.
But right after that, the kid disappeared, and Sam found black tar on his palms, staring down in shock as the thick, oily substance stained his skin and dripped onto the ground.
Sam looked ahead on the ground and noticed the black handprints on the wet beach. It looked like a tiny BT was crawling ahead, pressing invisible weight into the pristine sand while there were countless dead babies and sea animals around.
And then Sam looked far and saw a pair of legs of something big, and then he noticed it was a giant version of Amelie, who looked like holding a baby on her arm.
The peaceful dream turned into a nightmare, and Sam jumped out of his bed. It looked like he was still feeling Lou in his arms, as he stared at his thumbs where the baby was in the dream. I bet his heart started racing from the sudden shock of waking.
As Sam was missing Lou, Fragile decided to meet him in person along with Lou, but in hologram, flickering into existence near the center of the private room.
Sam was so glad to see Lou, and the kid tried to touch her daddy, but she couldn't as they were not actually there. The tiny baby's hand projected through Sam's thumb as she tried to feel daddy.
After letting Sam know Lou was doing okay, and Fragile was also doing good taking care of her, they left the place, and they left Sam alone.
