“My body… it’s so heavy…”
His body felt heavy.
Kai felt an oppressive sensation, as if his entire body was being crushed by something.
‘Heavy?’
But then, realizing the absurdity of his own thought, Kai’s brows furrowed sharply.
It made no sense to him that he, who had ceased to exist, could still experience such feelings and sensations, let alone be capable of thought itself.
“So! You’re saying there’s no hope?”
“I-I’m sorry. The fact that he’s still breathing is a miracle in itself…”
“Silence!”
Kai, who had been lost in thought, pondering the situation, felt an even greater sense of bewilderment at the unfamiliar voices suddenly reaching him from nearby.
‘Where in the world am I?’
Determined to first figure out his location and assess the situation, Kai strained with all his might to open his eyes, which felt as heavy as if stones were resting on them and refused to part easily.
“…! Sei-an?”
Sei-an? Who’s that?
As if he hadn’t seen light in a long time, Kai opened his eyes but was blinded for a considerable period, unable to discern anything.
After a moment, as his vision gradually returned and his surroundings began to come into focus, Kai’s expression turned bewildered once more.
This was because he saw three people staring intently at him with frozen expressions the moment he opened his eyes.
‘What’s going on?’
Kai subtly furrowed his brow. All the people standing before him were strangers.
“Good heavens… you’re awake!”
Among the three, an old man who appeared to be a Healer wore a dazed expression, then stammered, unable to hide his astonishment.
He then rushed over to Kai, immediately beginning to examine him, touching various parts of his body.
