"Urgh!" His body hurt all over. A ringing sound flared off like a siren in his mind while something hot seemed to be leaking out of his eyes.
'Where…am I?' Inala thought as he tried to open his heavy eyelids. His vision was hazy, and the dampness of his surroundings only seemed to be worsening his fever…fever?

The glass-like structure forming it was constantly cracking and mending itself while the information cluster inside was banging on it with borderline insanity.
The information cluster wanted to break out and flood the mind space, but the grey tower barely managed to keep it in check. However, their conflict caused the ringing sound, plunging Inala into a state of fever.
