Once again, I stood there in hesitation.
Once again, I couldn't bring myself to press the button right away.
And once again, Aisha came forward to ask, "What's wrong?"
Though this time, I didn't answer as quickly as I was lost deep in thought over what could be behind this wall. There were many different things that my mind could think of, so I just couldn't narrow it down to a single thing.
The fact that all of these different possibilities ran through my mind made it so that I couldn't actually pull myself out.
But in the end…
"It's nothing." I said in a calm voice before reaching out to press the button.
There was no going back now since there was no way out of this place other than this.
This was the only solution that was in front of me, so there was nothing else that could be done.
The wall started to open up just like the other walls after the button was pressed, but this time it was different.
