Aiyu's eyelids weighed down like lead as her consciousness faded, a sense of detachment clouding her senses.
Am I dying...?
Images of her loved ones flickered in her mind, evoking a mix of sorrow and joy. Despite the anguish, a faint smile adorned her lips as she yielded to her fate.
How I yearn to reunite with you all, but is there even a glimmer of hope?
The darkness had swallowed the scene, leaving only silence in its wake. Aiyu found herself sinking into the depths of the water, her body growing heavier with each passing moment. As the chilling grip of unconsciousness took hold, she suddenly felt a faint sense of someone's presence nearby.
Miraculously, even in her unconscious state, Aiyu felt a strong pair of hands cradle her delicately, guiding her through the water. Submerged beneath the surface, she could not open her eyes, but she could feel the stranger's concerned gaze upon her face. His touch was gentle, his fingers running through her wet hair behind her ear, providing a sliver of comfort amidst the uncertainty.
The stranger effortlessly held Aiyu close, his hands skillfully propelling them both above the surface.
As they continued to glide through the water, Aiyu's senses slowly returned to her , catching a glimpse of the stranger's face. His features were like carved perfection .
Aiyu's eyes snapped open, her heart pounding in her chest as she grappled with the terrifying reality of her surroundings.
Was it all just a nightmare? She mumbled to herself.
She couldn't shake off the lingering sensation of losing consciousness while drowning. Attempting to ground herself in the present, she reached out with trembling hands, searching for a glass of water on the nearby table.
The cool liquid washed down her throat, momentarily soothing her troubled mind. But as she glanced around the room, her eyes widened in disbelief.
Where on Earth am I ???
Aiyu was left dumbfounded, spewing out the water she had just taken a sip of, as she pondered her current bewildering location.
