It was like everything else in the world disappeared. Only Aldrich and Keld remained, so far away and yet so close.
Even this massive crowd was as if it did not exist anymore. Time slowed down to a crawl.
Aldrich could hardly believe his eyes, a coincidence is better than a hundred plans. No. Something was not right his vision was actually not steady, the world was distorted.
Suddenly without being able to do or understand anything he was hit in the back of the head. Hard. He crashed down and heard the crowd around him breaking into a commotion.
His last thought before everything went black was of Keld turning around the corner.

He was aware of himself in the nightmare realm. He stared blankly at nothing. And then he was shaking, it wouldn't be wrong to say convulsing. He dashed out of the base and slammed into the outer fence breaking it in the process.
