Walking along the real

"I feel like I've been dreaming about the light. I feel like I've been here forever, like I've always been here."
Radha sighed and popped a breadcrumb into her mouth.
"It's always been like this," Alisher said thoughtfully, "the dark side is always around. One step and you're stuck. And it's hard to get to the light side again."
"Why? Why is it difficult?"
"It's shameful", Alisher smiled. "After being in darkness, to be in the light so shameful that many people choose to stay on the dark side. They start justifying it, praising it even, looking for beauty in it. All because of cowardice."
Radha sighed.
"It seems that darkness cannot be fought, it absorbs everything, everything."
"Darkness absorbs only the false. It can't absorb the real. See," Alisher pointed at the shining spot.
"I see it, but it's dark all around. And all these creatures..." Radha shuddered.
"Let's sleep, and tomorrow I'll show you something."

Radha opened her eyes and marveled. She was lying in a hammock and above her the blue sky was shining unbearably. It was a bright day all around. Radha realized that she had to close her eyes and wake up from this dream. A wonderful dream. The girl clenched her eyes, inhaled and gathered all her strength to look at the Dark Side. But nothing had changed, the white day still shone in front of her the same way.
"Are you awake?" Alisher smiled.
"I think I am not, what is it, Alisher?"
"It's the real. Want we go for a walk?"
"For a walk?"
"Yes."
"But we have to go to the Abyss of the Doomed. Time is short, said the Guide."
"Time here doesn't count. So we can walk."
And they walked out of the park into a wide avenue, the likes of which Radha had not seen even at home before she came to the Dark Side.
There was a subtle scent of roses and sunshine in the air. The air wanted to... poetically it would be poetic to say drink, but it wanted to be eaten, cut into chunks and eaten.
"Oh, I know this bench," Radha pointed out suddenly, "we used to rest on it. Only it was dark. And now..."
"Yes, this is that place."
Alisher led her to the shore of the turquoise lake, behind which light houses stood, the paths in the park were clean and cozy.
It was so calm and good, Alisher was silent, and Radha was grateful to him for that, he led her somewhere, sometimes offered to sit down, looked into the distance and then they walked again. The girl gazed at the bright, strange city. Fountains were running, lights shone behind huge transparent storefronts.
"May we go in? Or it's forbidden?" she asked.
"Yes, let's go in."
They entered the nearest store. And Radha held back a shriek. It was so beautiful inside, like a museum or a palace.
"What is it?"
"A store"
"Why is there so much stuff?"
"Because it's the real"
"What does that mean, the real?"
"I've already explained it. I can't explain otherwise," Alisher shrugged.
"The Real is what is made by people for people," Radha repeated quietly.
They went into several more buildings, walked along the light-colored streets. And when evening fell, the streetlights and signs flashed, and it was light again.
The girl suddenly sighed.
"Why is there no one here?"
"There is, just not many ones," Alisher objected.
Radha and Alisher sat on a concrete ledge and looked at the sunset. The sky played with all colors, evening rays illuminated the buildings, turning it into a bright fairy tale.
"Thank you, I don't know what kind of magic it was, but if you hadn't brought me to this magical city, I would have gone crazy here, probably," Radha smiled.
Alisher smiled lightly.
"We have to go back to the Dark Side, don't we?" Radha sighed.
"We're already on the Dark Side. It's just that we've been walking all day only on shards of the real one. That's the only way to keep from going crazy in the darkness," Alisher nodded behind Radha's back.
The girl quickly turned around and saw the same shining monument, slightly dispersing the darkness around.
