Aether's POV
I... I felt weightless, as though my body was suspended in water, drifting aimlessly.
The sensation was so soothing that I didn't want it to end...
Every muscle, every thought in my mind, unwound as I let go of everything.
It was... perfect. There was no noise, no pressure. Just stillness!
But even in this serene state, something nagged at me—a strange hollowness.
I felt... empty!
For some reason, that emptiness gnawed at me.... A sense of loss... of guilt...
'Why am I feeling this?' I wondered, but my mind couldn't find any answers.... but one thing was sure... I wanted to stay here, drifting away, leaving behind all those unknown burdens.
'Yes... it feels... good.' My thoughts floated lazily, dissolving into the soft void.
