This isn't the first time he's been dragged into the dark recesses of limbo. The reason he's personally named this place as such is simply because there's no one to dispute the claim. There's no ferryman to hold his hand, demand payment, or give him tricky riddles so he can cross to the other side.
Kane doesn't oppose the force and lets it drag him along; after the first few times, he's concluded that struggling does little, and the quicker he gives in, the faster he can leave this place.
Still, the cold sensation of death is dreadful.
When Kane blinks, he's no longer drowning in darkness. He's standing among a myriad of people, walking the opposite way. The crowd is tightly packed. His shoulders are bumped, but he weathers his footing, standing firm. The people are diverse, their clothing a swash of colour against the smoky grey of the blurry horizon. The collective shuffling of dirt beneath the feet of thousands is the sole sound. No one speaks, dim eyes ahead, because, for some reason beyond Kane's understanding, souls don't find the need to communicate, drawn to the golden shimmer in the distance; the other side, he guesses.
Kane turns and begins shoving against the throng. He makes his way slowly and roughly through slack faces. He's glad he's not in his suit, thank fuck, and even in his dismal predicament, with death literally on the horizon, Kane thinks it's pretty badass that his soul has given him a leather jacket, and shit-kicking boots.
