Carter told me he searched through all of Snowville and couldn't find Sergio. If he hadn't poisoned me, why would he seem so guilty?
I stood alone in the room, no one to answer me.
It felt as if I had been abandoned on a deserted island. The room had many comic books, novels, some art supplies, and a tablet.
However, the tablet wasn't connected to the internet, though it had plenty of movies and mini-games downloaded.
Every now and then, food would be brought through a rectangular hole.
Sometimes it was afternoon tea, sometimes fruit, and sometimes a full meal—each meal was different and nutritionally balanced.
At first, I didn't dare eat the food brought to me.
But after a whole day of hunger, I could feel the baby inside me becoming restless, its movements increasing in frequency.
I had no other choice. I feared for my life, and I feared for the baby's safety.
Things had come this far, and all I could do was survive.
Only by surviving could I have a chance to see Carter again.
I started eating the food and tried to rest.
At this point, I had a feeling I understood his plan: he simply locked me in this room, kept everyone away, and eventually, I would forget everything—including Carter.
There was no pen in the room, so I sat in front of the drawing board and drew day and night.
I sketched every memory I had of Carter, one drawing after another, day after day.
But his face became more and more blurry in my mind. At first, I remembered him clearly, but gradually, all I could recall was his tall nose and the deep affection in his eyes.
Stacks of drawings piled up beside me, and time passed. I glanced at the calendar I had made.
I had been on this island for exactly one month.
That day, I picked up my pen. My muscles had formed a habit, and I began drawing.
But strangely, I could no longer remember what Carter looked like.
I flipped through the portraits I had drawn of him, and my fingers brushed over his face. Tears slowly slid down my cheeks.
"Carl, how could I forget you?"
I tried desperately to remember everything about him, but many things had faded into fragments.
Still, I could vaguely recall that he was the man I loved most.
But how had I ended up here? Where had Carter gone?
I pressed my hands to my head, and whenever I applied pressure, the pain in my skull was sharp.
Even so, I continued to dip my brush in paint, writing Carter's name again and again.
I couldn't forget him.
The next day, when I woke up, I instinctively walked to where I had stored the art supplies.
But there was no drawing board, and all my pictures were gone.
I stood there, lost in thought. What am I supposed to do?
Had something been placed here?
What am I searching for?
I felt like I had forgotten something important. Every time I tried to think about it, a sharp headache followed, so I tried to ignore it.
Days passed, and I forgot everything. My mind was foggy, and every day felt the same.
That morning, when I woke up, I found the door to my room had been opened.
I put on my coat and cautiously walked to the door, scanning the outside warily.
I had no idea why I was here or where I was supposed to go.
A kick from the baby in my belly made me look down at my rounded stomach.
I was pregnant? And from the looks of it, about five months along. I could even feel the baby moving.
