can't breathe


can't... feel


where am I?


I feel... wrong


need to focus...
I
can't see anything
Nrgh... focus...

...who am I? I'm. struggling to remember. I'm... I was. I'm... part? Of someone greater.

Yes. Yes. Of Naka.

Hold on, I... gh. Everything... feels so wrong.
...what happened?
did anything happen?
where am I?


...when am I?

Time feels...


like moving through sludge
like everything is moving
feels so
d is j oi nte d




feels like I'm not in control

that. right. the sludge.

Aeternam.

that damn meteor. got attacked.

panicked
split myself up. to buy time.


...Chikara.

she's
the other part of me


going to get help

I'm...

where am I?

Carynthia.


flung myself.

far as I could
of course it'd be here


haven't seen it in centuries
can't see it now


have to hold out.
who knows how long it'll take
Chikara won't fail






...it hurts


so much



just existing like this is painful
like something is trying to squeeze me.
absorb me.
probably not far off the mark


hurts like hell
I've been through worse.


can't even tell how long it's been
hours?
days?
weeks?



...years?

no. Chikara




Chikara won't fail.


I won't fail

I'll wait as long as it takes.

if the Aeternam thinks it can just assimilate me if it waits long enough

it needs a lesson on how stubborn I can be

I refuse to lose to this damned disease.


I just

hope Chikara's doing alright


I'm no longer sure what parts of me I left with her


I don't think the split went right


I've never used this power.


just diving into using it like that was reckless. stupid
I didn't have a choice


I'm just going to have to trust that things work out





until then











here I wait
















struggling to stay afloat in an endless black sea




...heh


not sure when I got so poetic



must be how delirious I am




I really can't tell

what's happening

or when's happening







can't tell when these thoughts are happening
relative to each other or otherwise



everything's so muddled



insulated










hang on


I

hear something?




hahaha
i must really be going crazy



it almost sounds like
music?





no



no, I'm.


I'm not imagining that


something's different.





I feel more
clear?




like a fading headache





is
is it me or is it. brighter?


I. see something?


is that



a sun?
