Ryuji was trapped, his body wrapped in a sticky, disgusting liquid. Unable to move, wrapped in a solid, red wrapping like a cocoon, while his mind still dealt with the images of all those that he loved or cared for dying, suffering or leaving him...
He saw Alicia killed by her people because she 'sinned', and then her mother cried, holding her burnt corpse, screaming the reality before she burned the entire forest to ashes.
Ryuji included.
The thick jelly that surrounded him stopped his movements—like egg yolk. It restricted his fists that hammered the cocoon walls.
In his right hand, the black dagger with the white lines was glowing, but it did not pierce the wall. He could not even use it.
"Ryuji~ it's time to wake up."
He heard a voice calling him. A nostalgic voice that he hadn't heard for over two years.
