Sunday, December 31, 2034.
Human's Planet, Central Empire Capital, Witch's Restaurant, 15:00 p.m.
Morgana sat at the bar counter, listening to Wynter's self-introduction. She hadn't met Wynter before, but after hearing her self-introduction, she could know that Wynter was a brilliant witch with ability to brew different kind of magic potions and wines.
"You are a brilliant witch with ability to brew different kind of magic potions and wines. Tasting witch's wine is a kind of great enjoyment. Listening to thriller story is a kind of great joy. Fine wine and thriller story together would be magnificent. May you please tell me your thriller story?"
Morgana said in a peaceful tone, expecting Wynter's thriller story. She took out a bottle of witch's wine, poured a glass of witch's wine for herself, and poured a glass of witch's wine for each other. She smiled upon five of them, knowing fine wine and thriller story together would be magnificent.
'Fine wine and thriller story together would be magnificent. Tasting fine wine would boost people courage to face with his most horrified moment. Sharing thriller story would decrease the fears. If we could share each other's thriller story, we would smile upon each other's most horrified moment.'
Wynter looked at her wine glass, recalling her most horrified moment. She recalled that she sat at her bed in Christmas night, expecting Santa grandpa came with present. She recalled that she woke up in her bed, and found a present box at bedside.
"Once upon a time, there's an evil doll crafted by the Goddess of Death. I sat at my bed in Christmas night, expecting Santa grandpa came with present. I wanted a pretty doll for so long. I couldn't help falling asleep. I woke up in my bed, and found a present box at bedside. The present box surprised me, but the evil doll pattern on the present box frightened me. It's with hesitation that I reflected the question, whether I should open it or I should hide it beneath my bed."
Wynter said in a horrified tone, sharing her most horrified moment. She recalled that she always envied the other girls who had plenty of pretty things, and she had nothing at all. She recalled that she always lived with mother, and her mother always proposed not having any presents in Christmas.
'Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents. I didn't think it's fair for some girls to have plenty of pretty things, and the other girls have nothing at all. I understood the reason mother proposed not having any present, it's because it's gonna hard winter for everyone. We must spend the money on heating to keep each other warm in this hard winter.'
Morgana listened to Wynter's thriller story, imagining Wynter received an unexpected present box with the evil doll pattern. She hadn't experienced what Wynter experienced, but she could imagine that Wynter sat at her bed in Christmas night, expecting Santa grandpa came with present.
"I once was as naive as you were. If the Santa was real, everyone would not be starving. If the Santa was real, everyone would not be homeless. If the Santa was real, everyone would not be suffering. If the Santa didn't send you Christmas present, who might send you the present box?"
Morgana said in a peaceful tone, expecting the following thriller story. She used to believe the Santa was real, but the Santa hadn't ever come with present. She used to enjoy family's company in Christmas night, but she ended up being the Goddess of Darkness, and her sister became the Goddess of Justice.
'The best Christmas present is family's company. I haven't received the best present for thousands of years. I received the best present for hundreds of years, but I battled with my sister for thousands of years. I lose my interest in the battle between angels and devils. I become interested in hosting different kind of entertaining contest.'
Wynter looked at her wine glass, looking back the Christmas night that when she woke up in her bed, and found the present box at bedside. She recalled that she opened the present box, releasing an evil. She recalled that the evil doll was jealous of the people around her and possessive of her company.
"To open the present box or not to open the present box, that's the question. Life was like a present box, we would never know what's inside the box. Maybe there's a pretty doll that I wanted for so long. Maybe there's a surprise that I didn't want. It's with curiosity that I opened the present box, seeing a pretty doll. I loved this pretty doll, but had no understanding of what the evil doll might want from me. She was jealous of the people around me and possessive of my company. The people around me had a habit of dying. I lost my family, my friends, and the people I cherished.'
Wynter said in a horrified tone, sharing her most horrified moment. She couldn't help seeing the evil doll's face, as she recalled that she opened the present box with the evil dall pattern, releasing the evil doll who was jealous of the people around her and possessive of her company.
'To open the present box or not to open the present box, that's the question. If I hadn't opened the present box, I would not release the evil doll. If I hadn't opened the present box, I would not lose my family, my friends and the people I cherished. If I hadn't opened the present box, I would not become the Witch of Water.'
Morgana listened to Wynter's thriller story, imagining the evil doll took away Wynter's family, friends and the people she cherished. She hadn't met the evil doll, but she could imagine that the evil doll was jealous of the people around Wynter and possessive of Wynter's company.
"You opened the present box with the evil doll pattern, releasing the evil doll who was jealous of the people around you and possessive of your company. The people around you had a habit of dying. You lost your family, your friends and the people you cherished. How could you escape from the evil doll?"
Morgana said in a peaceful tone, expecting the thriller story's ending. She hadn't experienced what Wynter experienced, and she could imagine Wynter must be manipulated like a docile doll by the evil doll.
'Was that the evil doll a doll or was that Wynter a docile doll? Maybe the stonger side would be the master, and Wynter wasn't the stronger side. Having a pretty doll was a tale of fortune. Having an evil doll was a tale of woe. The evil doll was jealous of the people around Wynter, and possessive of Wynter's company.'
Wynter used to love pretty doll, but she didn't want to be a pretty doll. She recalled that she was manipulated like a docile doll by the evil doll. She recalled that she woke up in her bed, and found the present box again over again.
"The evil doll had ability to cause accidents. Mother and I went to grab my father, not carrying with the doll. My mother got involved in car accident, my father fell in railway, my friends who came to visit me, got killed in different kind of accident. The people around me had a habit of dying. I shut myself in my bedroom, refused to meet anybody, and got starving to death. I woke up, and found the present box again. I felt familiar but strange. I felt familiar, because it seemed that I had known the present box. I felt strange that I couldn't remember anything. I opened the present box, releasing the evil doll again over again. In the circle of nightmare, I couldn't get relief, because each time I would wake up in the beginning of nightmare. I couldn't truly wake up from nightmare, until I became the Witch of Water."
Wynter said in a horrified tone, telling the thriller story's ending. She gently raised her wine glass, sipping a little bit of witch's red wine. She gently laid her wine glass on the bar counter, looking unto her wine glass with hues of blood.
'I have experienced things that people wouldn't believe. I fell in the circle of nightmare, diving in sea of pain to experience different kind of pain in life. I experienced losing the people around me, understanding the best Christmas present is family's company. I experienced the circle of nightmare, understanding the meaning of life.'
Morgana listened to Wynter telling her most horrified moment, imagining that the evil doll was jealous of the people around Wynter and possessive of Wynter's company. She could imagine that Wynter fell in the circle of nightmare, diving in the sea of pain to experience different kind of pain in life.
"You sat in your bed in Christmas night, expecting the Santa came with present. You woke up, and found a present box at bedside. You opened the present box, releasing the evil doll who was jealous of the people around you and possessive of your company. The people around you had a habit of dying. You shut yourself in bedroom, refused to meet anyone, and got starving to death. You woke up in your bed, and found the present box again. You fell in the circle of nightmare, diving in the sea of pain to experience different kind of pain in life. You couldn't truly wake up, until you became the Witch of Water. Your thriller story score would be 9.65."
Morgana said in a peaceful tone, judging Wynter's thriller story. She gently raised her wine glass, sipping a little bit of witch's wine. She gently laid her wine glass on the bar counter, looking unto her wine glass with hues of blood.
'I felt heartbeat, because I could imagine that the evil doll was jealous of the people around Wynter and possessive of Wynter's company. I felt heartbeat, because I could imagine that Wynter was manipulated like a docile doll by the evil doll. I felt heartbeat, because I could imagine Wynter fell in the circle of nightmare, diving in the sea of pain to experience different kind of pain in life.'
