Blackness.
Infinite, all-encompassing blackness.
But within this void, Haru could feel himself being carried, like drifting along a current, a sensation similar to being in the Campione World's Netherworld.
This place, like the Netherworld, was a realm of the spirit, a world of consciousness, but without any discernible landscape or features. Just nothingness.
"So, like the Netherworld, I navigate by thought?"
He imagined himself taking a step, and the sensation of drifting vanished. He was no longer in the current.
He looked down, but there was nothing there. Then, an image, a scene, appeared, floating beside him.
It was Kiritsugu Emiya, unconscious, being guided by Alaya, their hands clasped together as they formed a contract, his soul bound to her will—a Counter Guardian.
He looked up, and more images appeared, floating above him like memories.
