Theo finds himself in a dark void.
A place that feels familiar.
This is where he once met Alexander Lutherford, when he was attacked by the green mist.
Later, when Theo thought back on it, he came to believe that this void was not just any empty space, but his own consciousness. Even then, he was never entirely certain.
This… has never happened to him before.
Still, he knows one thing.
This place holds no malice toward him.
So when he finds himself here again, Theo does not panic.
He relaxes.
Not completely. The frustration is still there, sitting heavy in his chest, refusing to fade.
But here, in this quiet void, away from everyone's eyes, away from their concern, their pity…
His guard slips.
And his negative emotions rise more freely, no longer held back.
"Huh… I am here again."
Theo looks down and sees himself in his own form.
The relief hits him like a flood.
His breath catches. He can feel tears welling up again.
