In the darkness, Ritchie felt a powerful, crushing pressure. He knew exactly what it was—the space was rapidly folding in on itself. Although Ritchie didn't possess any spatial abilities, he had spent a long time with Jeremy, and during that time, he had gained some understanding of spatial distortions.
Ritchie tried to use his shadow-related skills to counteract the folding of the space. But in the end, he failed completely.
Just before losing consciousness, Ritchie caught sight of a faint light within the black shadow. Though he had made this additional discovery, he had no time to analyze the light or its characteristics.
As Ritchie lost consciousness, Jeremy and Liam arrived in a special space.
In this unique space, the two of them couldn't feel the presence of gravity. This meant that they were free to move in any direction within the space.
Without gravity, up and down were difficult to distinguish.
