'This place again…'
I woke up only to find out I was floating in the darkness.
'It might be wrong to claim I woke up to begin with,' I thought shortly after that, taking my sweet time to recollect my thoughts and try to figure out what was going on.
'I was trying to figure out the next level of perception. And I think it was something… about dropping all the limitations imposed by wide perception, allowing oneself to be reborn free of those shackles… I guess.'
With nothing around to distract me and all of my emotions dulled and hidden aside, I suddenly found myself in a perfect environment to study my own inner state, ideas, and thoughts.
Whatever those powerful waves of melancholy and lethargy did to me, I could no longer feel their pressure.
Or rather… It felt as if those two aspects of my soul grew more profound.
Like a gland of self-harming poison awakening right in the middle of one's stomach…
