Chapter 21 - CH 21

So now Luke is on the edge….. saying we all stranger

…. Jessica was panicking to stop him,....

and the six who was still in the show was

dazzled.... Despite agreeing to sit away from each other...

and the cue they agreed to signal, to unmute their device so their voice don't overlap with each other

... they forgot all of that. Their brain was cleared to do one thing—the wrong decision.

They were shouting together, and talking at the same time…. if you were on TV that night you would hear nothing but voices….. desperate voices wanting to be heard….. by a man who had never been heard before…..

so everyone somehow understood the irony: if a person was heard, you could save him, but to do that you need him to hear you first

….. And a lot of people thought of his words carefully, and maybe just MYBE.. he's right—we are strangers.

From the people that live in the same neighborhood, or the same town, city, country, continent…. We are all strangers, even having different personalities that fight each other.... So even ourselves are strangers...

At the time they didn't think, if we all feel like that, then we are all the same, not different... But that thought was big enough to cripple the world...… Even the illusionary wall was shaking and it was expected to fall....

? = Can I ask a question?

? = Of course.

? = Why when Lina said something in French, she freaked out?

That's a good question. Remember when I said they made the wrong decision, the loud voices... Well it's because that wasn't normal at the time…..

To answer your question, Lina freaked out because it's the first time she said something in English

….. Wait, I know….. I will clarify....

You remember something about someone called Rady opening the door, and they called him something about the Pharaoh because he was from Egypt…..

OK….. When he did that it was the first time the power of illusion hit the world…. It's a story for another time…..

anyway there were patients who survived accidents, and when they got better they would speak a different language….. So because of that, people believed that we all know every language that exists but our brain just doesn't know it yet....

So the first thing the power of illusion did was make that real.... So before Luke's accident, everyone you spoke to would speak back in your own language, like a... translation…..

Lina's pov was everyone spoke in French, but in Jessica, Dalia, Chris, Tommy, Ron's pov she was speaking English,

and in Emma and Ryan's pov everyone was speaking Portuguese….. So lina, when she was saying something in French, everyone heard it in French but she heard it in English…..

So that night lina was shouting at Luke in French, Ryan and Emma were shouting in Portuguese, and everyone else was shouting in English all together…. and on TV everyone was hearing gibberish ….

So the watchers started doubting, because they never heard another language before…. That's why it was a critical point, the point that changed everything....

We all stranger—Luke proved it with words, and their words....

At the time they didn't noticed, the people that were standing on top of the building, because they were focusing on Luke...

Luke's last words were singing

….. I said sorry to the door you closed….. A chapter that wasn't opened before…..

I wanted to live no more...

You win.. I win more...Goodbye to last the door…. 12 years in… sure…..

What was my life..... What was my lure

He wasn't singing like musicians, he was just toning it away….. a bit sad….. people

thought he was talking about loved ones…. But he was talking to life itself... And he took off….. and with him 200 people jumped as well... Whether he orchestrated the whole thing or those people felt the same...

One thing happened for sure.... The language barrier came back again…. which divided families who never spoke their children's language...… and everything went to shit….. cities started building barricades around them….. the demon, human, vampire, zombies appeared….. But that's another story…..

? = What happened to the people of the tower?

? = I don't know.... will have to ask a reader who read a book that doesn't exist....
