Chapter 7: Burning Duct (1)
“Ugh...”
As I cracked my eyes open, the pitch-black darkness of my room welcomed me like an old friend.
The kind of comforting darkness that made me think, Yeah, this is home.
As my mind slowly came back online, the circuits on my coat, my hair, and my irises began to glow, casting a soft blue light throughout the room.
Like moonlight spilling through a window, my body’s luminescence cut through the dark, illuminating every corner.
The handwritten Hangeul notes plastered across the walls reflected the glow, shimmering faintly.
In the corner of the room, Mecha-Angler lay fast asleep.
Yaaawn.
I rubbed my eyes, stretched, and sat up on the bed.
A good night’s sleep had left me feeling light and refreshed.
The exhaustion that had crushed me before I passed out was completely gone.
