"Did you go through the same thing?"

"I overcame it. I woke up in the end, didn't I? The reason I was asleep for hundreds of years was because of the side effects of the spring water. The same thing Cherry is experiencing now."

"The same side effects?"

"I was forced into deep sleep, while Cherry is losing control of her mind? It seems that since our abilities are different, so are the side effects. It’s not complicated—she just has to stay in control. In the end, it’s a battle of willpower."

Ethan let out a quiet sigh.

At least Cherry’s side effect wasn’t being put into an involuntary slumber for centuries like Ezra. That alone was a relief. He glanced at Cherry’s sleeping face and muttered,

"If it were that easy, I wouldn’t be this worried. Cherry has already lost control before. She couldn’t be stopped at all."
