He clearly went splat, yet he felt no pain. Aside from that, his injuries healed. Even more shockingly, after he went splat, he still managed to stand up, which, from what Kent could think of, didn't make sense.
Life without pain is meaningless, in his opinion.
Life cannot be fully experienced without pain. So, rising to his feet like it never happened clearly didn't feel right. But that was to be expected, when the moment he stood up, all injuries were healed.
This got him thinking:
"Where am I, and why does it feel like I have walked into something I cannot easily escape from?" Kent sucked in a deep breath, his expression turning calm.
Moments like these, he knew he must remain calm and first explore his options. If he panics just yet, he might miss something that would completely shatter his chances if he intends to find a way back home.
So he calmed his trembling heart down and asked the questions that needed to be asked.
"Where am I?"
"What is this place?"
