The gripping tentacles faded away and Anna was left in the void, floating randomly at the dark canvas. She tried moving her arms, hoping to navigate her in one direction, but that proved to be difficult and impossible for her.
"A-anyone!" She called out. "I-Isagani! Serafin?! A-anyone?!" But all she heard was her voice bouncing around the void eerily, taunting her for being helplessly floating around nothingness.

Bottom-feeder…
It was you who killed her…
The echoes morphed into insults she told herself before and now it was playing back from the inner recesses of her mind, surfacing into the darkness to haunt her for the rest of her waking life.
