He had gotten used to floating.

Unhappiness tried to tamper with his sanity.

Tamper like tampering with a machine --- He wasn't a machine! He'd never be a machine.

That's not a good thought. Don't fucking tamper with ME.

No, but getting mad is counter effective... It just tampers with you.

That's your own fault... Dammit.

Khonjin snapped awake, and he looked down. Fear and shock spread across his face.

"No..." Only ghosts speak in italics. This can't be.

But it was. He began to hyperventilate.

"No. No, no, no, no, no, no," He just kept chanting. But this wasn't a ritual, this was just fear.




No one was happy, and it's all my fault.
