[Warning: Suicide, Gore, Death]
Wet droplets fell onto my cheek, tickling my skin. Wasn't I dead? I tried to move my hand to wipe away the tears but found my body cold, limp, and unresponsive. So I was dead?
"You need to let her go, Will, she'll turn soon," an unfamiliar masculine voice spoke in English with a Spanish accent.
This was not Zhiyue's body.
My body shook in the sobbing man's arms until eventually I was set onto a cold, smooth floor.
"System what is going on?"
Why weren't we in the void?
System did not reply.
My heart ached as it beat erratically in my chest, threatening to burst through my ribcage. Everything was gone. Everyone was gone. I was alone again. What was the point?
Just when I'd cleared things up, just when I was starting to understand and make sense of the emotions I had felt for that man...
No, snap out of it. I needed to focus. I needed to get through this to figure everything out.
