Snap...
The darkness receded, revealing a lightless room.
My body was strapped to a cold chair made of metal.
Voices whispered before me, but I couldn't understand them.
"....you... think.... talk?"
"...Maybe... it..... too much?"
"Probably..."
My mind was still there.
That nightmarish place.
I tried to detach myself from it, but I couldn't.
The fear was ingrained in my bones, like a disease.
Illusions materialized around me, even though I could barely see, my vision blurry.
Every shadow seemed to dance, taunting me.
The air was thick with a feeling of death.
It was a jarring contrast...
"Can... hear me?"
My head slowly rose, meeting a familiar figure in the distance.
He was quite the giant, looking like a beefed-up version of my Exec's security personnel. And like them, he wore shades indoors, which I still didn't quite understand.
