"——Are you awake?"
A boundless blue sky appeared before my eyes, and as I raised my sight upward following the voice, "Robin's" mocking smile imprinted upon my vision.
Ah... I fainted, huh...
My consciousness, having pieced itself together again, picked up memories along with a subtle lingering sensation that revived.
Legs heavy as if filled with lead, breath burning like fire, a brain stirred madly by a red-hot knife, a heart pumping frantically—everything was eroding my consciousness, turning into screams and wails underneath my skull.
Give up—
Can't do it—
Enough—
Just hearing those pleas made me want to cry, even wanting to just collapse to the ground.
No need for someone else to explain, and without too much thought, it was clear—it was the weak part inside me howling. Unable to bear the pain, fearful of failure, and shying away, it clung onto my consciousness, diving deep into the Abyss.
