As Akun thrust his hand into Alternate Akun's chest, seizing his core positioned near the heart, a piercing scream of agony echoed through the space. In the midst of the torment, Alternate Akun managed to articulate, "What the hell! It hurts way too much. I don't think I'll be able to bear this amount of pain."
Undeterred, Akun responded, "You have to bear it. I'll be doing the same to myself, so I'll have to bear it too." With that, Akun brought his other hand over his chest, purple eyes glowing intensely. Coating his hand with his †Authority†, he replicated the action, driving it into his chest and grasping his own core. The sensation of self-infliction was bizarre and intensely painful.
