Right now, Kenji was lying in the healing pod next door. He could feel a strange energy flowing inside his body, as if it might burst through his skin at any moment.
In the long struggle, he finally gained control, taming this wild energy and blending it into his body. Then, he slowly moved his fingers and finally opened his eyes.
"You're awake," someone said.
Kenji blinked.
A group of people surrounded him, all looking down at him. Closest to him were Yuka, then Nori, Hideki, and the former General Fleet Admiral, with a black orb among them.
Kenji felt somehow embarrassed. He closed his eyes again.
"Open your eyes, let me see," Nori said to him. "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Kenji then reopened his eyes. His voice was a bit hoarse from not speaking for so long, "I feel fine."
