What was happening outside my body did not concern me as much as what was happening inside me.
I was curled up on the ground, and I knew that whatever was happening was out of what I controlled or understood.
From the meld state, I had been able to collect a bit of information on Demon Slayer and why the Earth Gate was affecting my body in this manner, knowing that this Title was never supposed to reach my hand, but somehow it did. Now, I am stuck inside this nightmare and madness.
I was dying, but only because I lacked knowledge, and I was wise enough to allow those with a greater understanding of the situation to take charge when it was needed.
Letting myself sink deeper into the meld, where the slight discomfort I was feeling became nothing but statistics, the Hollow Avatar fully snapped into place.
