....
In a high-end apartment located few minutes away from the center of Imperial City, a man was sleeping and tossing about in his darkened room, seemingly troubled by whatever he was dreaming about.
His ears twitched as the sound of the water dripping slowly in the bathroom assaulted it.
Drip! Drip! Drip!
His legs were kicking every now as his hands reached out for someone or something.
"Nnngn!"
The man groaned as he suddenly clutched at his chest with one hand and his throat with another while his mouth opened up, gasping for air.
…
In his dream, he was drowning… literally… He was struggling to swim to the surface as if there was something weighing him down.
"Help! Someone, please!" He yelled in his mind as he kicked. But no matter how hard he kicked, he felt as if he was sinking deeper and deeper into the lake and farther away from the surface.
