It was strange. The feeling surrounding Cale feels strange.

It's warm. And that's what makes it strange.

He was sure he couldn't feel these anymore. He became dense to feelings and emotions after entering diffrent voids for who-knows-how-many- years. He became somewhat like Barrow and it bothers him a lot. He didn't know if he could taste things though, he didn't need to eat when he's a soul collector and he doesn't have the time to sit down and be lazy. He knows that if he slows his pace down he'll lose more and more of these darn memories.

He's already losing to much as is.

Like.. who the fuck is Kim Rok Soo? Why does that lad need to be such an unlucky bastard?

But he does know that he's losing the enjoyment of sleep, not like he's ever slept. Collecting 276 souls isn't an easy task, alright? And he still needs to enter voids that takes him years to get into, his domain where he recharges, and other things. Taking in the memories of the scattered fragments then losing them at the back of his head because his ability "Record" is somewhat stopping him.

However, the last fragment, the one that takes an actual full percentage (6 at that) is something he can't remove from his records. It's telling him it's important and to never forget. He doesn't understand but he obliges.

He's good at standing still and doing what he's told to do.

He also knows that he lost the ability to feel the touch and temperature of anything. So why?

Why is it so warm here?

It feels so new and nostalgic at the same time.

He feels the need to close his eyes, so he does.
______________

"ˡᵘˡˡᵃᵇʸ.. ᵒᶠ ᵗʰᵉ ˡᵉᵃᵛᵉˢ."

He's been hearing small muffled voices for a while.

It's nice and soothing adding up to the warmness makes it even better.


"ⁱᵐ ᵐᵒᵛⁱⁿᵍ ᵃˡᵒⁿᵍ, ᵃˡᵒⁿᵍ ʷⁱᵗʰ ᵗʰᵉ ᵇʳᵉᵉᶻᵉ"

And this song is what he usually hears.

He likes it.

It reminds him of his acient power "Sound of the Wind" who he has heard since a long time ago.

But he hasn't been able to hear her yet. Even the others.

It's either because the body he is in is weak or he hasn't actually regain consciousness yet.

He thinks it's the latter but it also disturbs him that he might be inside the womb of this body's supposed mother.

"ᵈᵃᵈᵈʸ ᵃⁿᵈ ᵐᵒᵐᵐʸ ˡᵒᵛᵉˢ ʸᵒᵘ"
This time a male voice is heard.

The voice is cold and warm at the same time.

Who is this person?

What is he like?

And he falls asleep. Leaning into the darkness once again.

Cale is struggling.

His once comfortable room is becoming smaller.

He doesn't like it at all.


He tries to turn over, kicking whatever is making his sleep uncomfortable.
