Selene's thoughts swirled in a thick haze.
'Thinking is so hard…I hope I don't have to think anymore in the future. I just want to close my eyes and fall unconscious.'
It felt so tempting to do, but even in her current situation, Selene knew that it was a bad idea to lose consciousness.

Each breath felt shallow, strained, her lungs burning as though she were suffocating in her own skin.
The room around her blurred, shifting like liquid, the walls bending and twisting in ways that shouldn't have been possible.
So, when she heard footsteps approaching, her sluggish mind immediately assumed it was Ethan.
A relieved sigh slipped past her lips.
"Back so soon…? Did you find what you were looking for….?"
