“If Draven is here, could you still manage getting first? This time, you need to pull even farther ahead of second place!
“Why did your sports scores drop? Are you even trying?!
“Can you meet the goals I set for you? Why are you always just a little short?
“Troy, is there anything you don’t mess up?”
The boy was trapped in a suffocating dream filled with these whispers.
The scenes in the dream changed quickly.
A lot of time passed in a flash.
The dream changed to an image of Ayla, whom he had only met once. She was actually confessing to him, saying she… liked him?
How could anyone say they like someone after only meeting a few times? What was she pretending for?
Was it just because he saved her? So what? He hadn’t done anything else. He had not even put on a performance impressive enough to move her. How could Ayla possibly like him?
There was no such thing as love for no reason. In his mind, Ayla was the boldest liar he had ever met.
She was also the most skilled liar, because sometimes she even managed to make him feel a little better? It was a very strange feeling.
The dream continued to spin in his head.
He was sick. Ayla stayed by his side. He got sick because of his own drinking, but wasn’t it normal for him to lie in bed alone and suffer for his mistake? What was she doing by the bed? Why was she acting so devoted? Was she trying to trick him into being weak? Did she really think she could fool him? How funny!
But the liar’s tricks really were getting more advanced.
He was starting to feel afraid!
And he was actually getting a little addicted to this kind of deception. Her tricks really worked on him.
But he couldn’t lose.
No. If he lost, he would face extremely harsh pain and punishment.
No matter how good Ayla’s lies were, whatever love or liking she showed, he always stayed clear–headed
and knew it was fake.
And he was right. She said she would love him forever and yet she still left him.
If you don’t work hard enough, if you don’t give everything you have, you get no rewards. Liars are the

same! If he did nothing and Ayla could still love him for a lifetime, then that lie would truly be a great
success!
There is no unconditional love–this was his golden rule, a law that no one could break.
So the female liar left because he won.
He proved the rule of the world was true. Her lies had nowhere to hide.
But then why, after she left, did he feel like he was the one who had truly fallen for it?
Was he successfully deceived?
He was deceived, and then what?
Then what? If Ayla was not a liar, but truly loved him unconditionally, then he should be moved by the liar, right? After all, someone could accept everything about him, good or bad. Someone who loved him even if he wasn’t the best and didn’t give everything he had. He should feel moved.
If I’m moved, it shouldn’t be this painful.
But I still feel terrible.
What is wrong with me? Is my heart sick? What am I even doing?!
The scene was torn apart once again.
Carmen’s stern face appeared in front of him, but it didn’t look exactly like her. The person yelling at him turned into himself.
He used the harshest, meanest voice to blame himself. “Troy, you lost Ayla yourself. You are so useless!”
“You actually lost her with your own hands? Why can’t you ever do anything right? Everything turns into a mess when it gets to you! How many more things are you going to ruin!”
“No, I can do anything!” Troy gritted his teeth. “I won’t mak

“It was you. It’s all your fault. You keep making mistakes. You’ll never grow up!
“Because you don’t even know what love is! Why don’t you even know how to love someone?

“You’re the one ruining everything!
