Quiet. It had gone quiet.
He heard a very low voice, but it quickly ebbed away from his attention. Was it Kizumi-sama? Who knew…
Kojirou had already dove into the abyss. He wasn’t exactly thinking about something in particular, but everything was suddenly so silent. The world was pitch-black from his closed eyelids. He couldn’t see anything, not even the tip of his nose. Wherever he was, he didn’t register the presence of anything around – not even the presence of his own flesh… but that was slightly wrong.
There was a strong presence in his abyss. It was a flow, a sort of river-like motion that entered his nostrils and escaped his mouth. Sometimes, the flow began cumulating in his lungs, and he felt a bit stung by that. As if his lungs were about to explode… but he didn’t stop breathing. If anything, the longer this went on, the less it stung him – his lungs got used to the extra pressure on the walls, and he began inhaling a bit more than right before.
His mindscape was a weird, weird place. Kojirou, in general, was a weird, weird boy… but today had been the most zen training session ever.
