Black.
Dark.
Quiet.
Floating like a feather within an empty space, his body calmly laid in the dark void.
There was no feeling, there was no touch, and there was no sensation.
Everything was just... there.
The concepts of time and space did not apply to this cursed place. Neither did the concepts of creation and destruction, nor beginning or end.
His body simply drifted in the empty void, as light as air itself.
"This is The Void. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."
In the far distance, there was a flicker of light. The light grew, accumulating and swelling, becoming brighter and brighter. Till suddenly, the light filled his vision and brought the body of the boy back to life.
'Toshirou-san!'
'Aosaki-san!?'
'Toshirou-nii-chan?'
"Aosaki-kun!"
"F*cking hell! I heard you the first dammit!!"
