Plop
Max was laid down in the water, staring at the ceiling as several memories of his past life ran through his mind, causing him to feel melancholic each passing moment.
The water he was submerged in did not wet him, instead, it pulled him deeper into the melancholy he felt.
This was his subconscious and he had been in it for quite some time.
The last thing he remembered was fainting after ensuring Garth had left. When he opened his eyes, he found himself here.
With a little probing, he could tell that his real body was considerably weakened and it would take quite some time for his vital energy to recover completely, thus he didn't bother to leave.
He couldn't calculate how much time had passed but he knew what he had spent the time on.
Reminiscing about his past life due to Sandman's actions pulling them out from where he had buried them.
It would be a lie if he said he didn't miss them, but alas, he also regretted not being able to protect them any longer.
