“Aha.”

“Now that there’s nothing left, let’s start right away.”

Mujin brushed it off vaguely and went to stand in front of the spinning top board that Riser had made.

He carefully opened Riser’s hand, which had been holding on tightly to stay close, and very cautiously handed her the spinning top.

Clack.

The pointed tip touched the bottom of the spinning board.

It was a small, solid sound, but it seemed as if the entire process up to this point was compressed within that single sound.

Riser firmly gripped the handle with her thumb and index finger, turning it fully to the left to complete her preparation.

“Whew…”

Amid the palpable tension, Riser took a moment to steady her breathing. Strength entered her fingertips. Her fingers moved minutely as if confirming the feel of the spinning top once more.

‘Please don’t let me mess this up!’

Riser cried out inwardly as she vigorously spun the top.

Her thumb and index finger twisted forcefully, the spinning top rapidly gained momentum, and the smooth surface allowed the rotation without any interference.

Whirr- Whirrrrrr!

A heavy yet light spinning sound spread out.

“It worked! It worked!”

“You did it! You did it!”

It was just a toy spinning top, but for the two of them, it was a great leap forward.

Riser and Mujin, overjoyed, hugged each other and jumped up and down like soccer fans witnessing their team’s scoring moment.

The tension that had been weighing them down for so long burst out all at once in that brief moment of celebration.

“Now leaving the Mundane World is just a matter of time!”

“That’s right! Just a matter of time!”

Mujin’s expression, which had been smiling brightly without any worries, slowly began to lose its color.

‘A matter of time?’

That phrase stuck in his mind. A matter of time. It would be resolved when time passed. When time passed. When time passed…

At the end of that thought, he felt as if his toes had touched something hard and cold.

Perhaps sensing Mujin’s anxious mood, Riser also began to feel strangely uneasy.

“Why… is there some problem…?”

“No. What problem. It’s just…”

Mujin bit his lips tightly.

It was difficult to speak, as if not saying these words would prevent them from becoming reality. However, it was something that someone had to say.

“Dang Ri-seo.”

“…Yes?”

“About the spinning top. That thing… how do we know when it falls over?”

Mujin couldn’t see it, but Riser’s face turned pale.

In reality, a spinning top isn’t a toy that spins for very long.

It was certainly the same in Riser’s Mundane World. At most, it would fall over in about 1 to 2 minutes. And this spinning top had only just started spinning. There was still time. But time wasn’t the problem.

“…”

“Dang Ri-seo. Please answer me.”

The real problem was that the trigger for Riser to escape the Mundane World was ‘confirming the moment it falls over.’

‘We can’t see!’

They had to visually confirm that precise moment when the spinning top falls over.

However, right now, both of their vision was completely filled with light.

There was no way to know how much the spinning top was tilted, when it would fall over, or even if it had already fallen.

“I don’t know.”

Whirrrr, whirr, whir…

In that void that was neither darkness nor light, Riser and Mujin were facing the same reality.
