As Arachne's eyes slowly opened again, the girl felt… lighter than ever before. There was no longer a strong, overwhelming weight over her entire body, making her feel always tired. She felt the touch of her hand over the cold stone bed, and slowly sat down, admiring her surroundings.
Even though Sloth didn't deprive her of any of her senses, it felt like she was finally feeling them completely, for the first time through her entire life.

It was all so new, so surprising, so incredible! She looked around, and then sensed her own body, her own soul, there was no longer anything there, no longer there was an annoying parasite forcing her to sleep, and she didn't feel sleepy anymore either.
