Aria struggled to keep her eyes open, her vision blurring with every passing moment. Her body felt unnaturally heavy, as though the strength had been completely drained from her limbs. Each blink seemed heavier than the last, and her limbs trembled with a weakness that made her feel as though she might collapse at any moment. Each step she took was a battle against the overwhelming fatigue. She clutched the walls for support, her breaths shallow and ragged.
