    I ran alone toward the sound, feeling that I was getting closer. I opened rooms one after another. I felt like I had fallen into a maze; the darkness grew heavier, and the rooms didn''t end. As for the cat''s meowing, it seemed to be circling above my head until I felt that it had indeed awakened the emperor and my fate was sealed.
